I love sports sometimes, My fa is Tennis and I could watch. Who will be the next new coach of blackhwak? Denis Savard's plan was to improve on what the young Chicago Blackhawks accomplished last season and make a push for the playoffs.
He won't get that chance. After only four games and just hours after the team's first victory of the season, he was fired as coach Thursday and replaced by Joel Quenneville.
The Blackhawks, who have missed the playoffs nine of the past 10 seasons, improved to 1-2-1 following a 4-1 home victory over Phoenix on Wednesday night.
On Thursday morning Savard, a Hall of Fame player and one of the franchise's most popular figures, got the word from general manager Dale Tallon that he was out.
"First and foremost, I'm proud of what we accomplished last year with the young kids in the lineup. I hope for them to do well," Savard told The Associated Press by phone. "It's a tough day, no question. I'm hurt. I worked hard to do the best I could to get the team on its way to the Stanley Cup."
Tallon said letting Savard go was the most difficult decision he'd ever made. Telling him was just as tough.
"There was some silence and a lot of emotion. He handled it with tremendous class and dignity as he always does," Tallon said at a news conference. "He accepted it and we're going to move on."
Tallon said the evaluation process had been ongoing since training camp and the decision was an organizational one. He said the Blackhawks seemed to come out in the preseason without the same energy they displayed had at the end of last season when they won 40 games.Watch grey’s anatomy season 5 episodes 4,5,6,7,8,9 , Watch the office season 5 episode 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 3 birmingham cardiac day diet, How long should you stay on the atkins diet
So the Beijing Olympic will come to close this Sunday and it will be a huge finale according Olympic officials. The finale will have more or less 7,000 student participants. That is still big! I hope the more we get to the finale the more we get controversies. I am sure you have read the Olympic opening ceremony and some bogus enhancement to wow the people around the world.
