Blackhawks fire Yawney; Savard takes over

[Mitchy moo]

Mired in another frustrating season, the Chicago Blackhawks fired head coach Trent Yawney on Monday and named assistant Denis Savard his replacement.
"The bottom line is wins and losses and we needed to win more," general manager Dale Tallon said in a news release. "We've had some injuries, but in spite of that we're a better team than our record shows...We want to play a more up-tempo style game." Chicago started the season 4-2-0 but has lost 12 of its last 15 games and is tied for 14th out of 15 teams in the NHL's Western Conference

Trent Yawney did awesome, if anything they should fire whoever signed all the fre agents to outrageous contracts there...

That would be Dale Tallon, the guy who gave Barnaby and Curtis Brown millions of dollars.

Nice to see Savard get a shot. He's been an assistant there forever, and he remembers what it was like when the Hawks were actually good.

They should At Least Send Yawney Back to Norfolk, We Loved him Here... He used to Get on the ice and go after refs for excessive/bullsheet calls...

he'd jump the wall and chase them down on foot, and of course get ejected.. but hey.. he goes up into the stands after that...
