Blackhawks & Quenneville...


I bashed Wayne Gretzky in this one... why would people say Denis Savard deserved to be axed in Chicago and not say the same for #99 in Phoenix?

Oddly enough, this came just hours after I'd mocked the people featured on Rick Jessup's overanything.com link from Thursday. Not that I care about the Blackhawks anymore... but I didn't see the need to laugh at Savard. He was a great player. As a coach? It's really too early to tell.

Here's the link - my thoughts on Joel Quenneville in Chicago.

Seriously though, Quenneville has won NOTHING in the NHL as a head coach. (Yes, he won as an assistant coach before, but that's different). In fact, eight early playoff exits in eleven years (10, if you count the fact he was fired mid-season one year).

That's better than Savard, eh?

And ooohh... .Rick or Trout will love this one: I bashed Wayne Gretzky.... so are the Coyotes going to win the Cup this year?

Incidentally, I agree with you. As an old school Blackhawks fan I long gave up on them due to their sheer inability to even attempt competing. There are established coaches out there with records of success - heck, I'd even take a page from House's book and say hire Quinn. It's like they get paid to lose.

If you're going to fire someone, why not do so during the summer?
