Denis Savard has been fired. 

It will be interesting to hear how this story develops.  This was a pretty big surprise to me.  I don't know whether the Puckheads were less surprised. I certainly felt he was doing a better job than the local football coach.

I liked Savard a lot, but I can see why he went. He couldn't get anything out of the Power Play (which was supposed to be his strong point).

As far as the timing goes, I HATE the decision. Give him 20 games, at least.

Oh and Quennville? Bad choice. His system does not mesh with this club. I cant wait to see all this talent wasted when Kane and Towes are forced to dump and chase, dump and chase. 

But, we will see. I'm still going to have my eyes glued tot he TV as it is anyway.

Quenville was a great choice! He won every where he went. Savard got fired because he spent to much time betting on horses. Go to Oakbrooks off track and you will see him there. Looks like the Hawks are in for a great decade of hockey!

The Detroit Red Wings foreign scout flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play hockey in the new American sponsored league, and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to the US.   

Ken Holland signs him to a one year contract and the kid joins the team  for the preseason.

Two weeks later the Wings are down 4-0 to the Blackhawks with only 10  minutes left. Mike Babcock gives the young Iraqi the nod and he goes in.

The kid is a sensation - scores 5 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game  for the Wings! The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted, and the media
love the new star.

When the player comes off the ice he phones his mom to tell her about  his first day of NHL hockey. "Hello mom, guess what?" he says in an  Iraqi accent.
"I played for 10 minutes today, we were 4-0 down, but I scored 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they  all love me."

"Wonderful," says his mom, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, raped and beaten,
and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such great time."

The young Iraqi is very upset. "What can I say mom, but I'm so sorry."

"Sorry? You're sorry? !!" says his mom, "It's your fault we moved to Detroit in the first place!"
