Can Anyone Recall The October Firing Of Denis Savard?

I can recall that firing. It was the start of the second season of the "NEW" regime and it was only 4 games into the season. 1-2-1 was their start. At that time, there was a lot of hype about how the Hawks were good enough to make the playoffs. They had just missed out on it the previous year, (that being the rookie seasons of Kane and Toews)...and this was going to be the season. Dale Tallon was the General manager, and whether or not it was a popular decision, he made the right one. He fired Denis Savard and hired Joel Quenneville. Coach "Q" proceeded" to bring home the cup the first time in 49 years, so it was arguably the least popular , but most correct decision Dale Tallon ever made.
Two years later, the Hawks have 1/2 a new team, and talks of repeating have diminished, but haven't depleted to non-existence. They did proceed to keep the core players, but the season has started out rocky.......to say the least. The last day of training camp, one of their core defensemen, who was pivitol in the playoffs, (my least favorite defensemen because of his salary...and I don't think he's worth the money) Brian Campbell, got injured thereby keeping him out for 4-5 weeks.
Then 4 games into the season, there have already been 2 short suspensions. First game of the season: Nick Boynton with his preseason "throat slash" gesture and Nick Hjalmarsson with his 2 game suspension for an illegal hit to the head.
The camaraderie isn't there. I think they are seriously hurting on defense right now. Nick Leddy, as talented as he will become is being forced to play defense at age 19 and is doing a commendable job, but he doesn't have support back there. Nick Hjalmarsson has played awfully. He's been on the ice for EVERY single goal in the first 3 games. That's horrific. Seabrook has been there best defenseman so far, and Keith hasn't played to his potential either. John Scott is a joke. He's a big thug who cannot skate. It actually cost the Hawks as he tripped over himself and allowed the winning goal against Detroit. Jordan Hendry isn't doing poorly, but he hasn't been a beeming ray of sunshine either.

So, the Hawks have to rely on their forwards to pick them up. Hossa has played out of this world. Kane is starting to score the past two games. Kopecky is playing on the top line and is being rewarded with assist points,...but hasn't scored himself. Bickell is filling the net. Toews got a two point night the other night...but, Stalberg, Pisani, Dowell.........NOTHING... we need more from the new guys that we picked up. Donuts are for cops, not for forward stat sheets.

Okay,......not panicking, however it needed to be pointed out that Savard was replaced with the same exact record that "Q" has right now........so, what's next for the Hawks? How can they get out of this mess?
First line of Kopecky/Toews/Hossa is wonderful.......the next three lines........NEED WORK...
Defense: uterly pathetic.
Goal: hard to tell. They are making wonderful saves, but are both allowing in too much and getting way too many shots on goal. Untypical of a Hawks team. Let's go Hawks !!!!
