"Commit to the Indian!"

With the talent they have now,plus the recent acquisitions...the Blackhawks should make the playoffs...if they don't,then Savard and Tallon should be cut loose.

They're a young, upcoming team, and Savard is in his second season........and he's on the hot seat already????

Nothing like putting the fire to a coach.. should go either way...

You never know until what half way in the season..............

We'll see... I think that Savard is a good coach. Chicago should make the playoffs this year. I really think that they could be as high as a 5 seed in the West. That team is scary good.

Well now that they have a decent netminder and added some marquee players of course there's pressure

WAH

Savard has that team playing some good hockey after years of boring, grinding, checking style implemented by previous coaches! You can't rush a developing team and demand results overnight. It just doesn't work that way!

They're moving in the right direction, doing the right things and the players like playing for Savard. Denis is the right man for the job. And, with some of the players they got rid of and the ones they've added, playoffs are deffinetely not out of the question !

Great players make lousy coaches

But now that the players are there, they really have to give him 2 seasons

spaul.........the great one for example

Take it easy, Wirtz! I can feel the greed rising in Chicago. Savard is a good coach. Even if you don't make it deep into the p;ayoffs this year, he should get another chance. Last year, Toews got injured oherwise they might have made the playoffs already. The west is tough though...

The Hawks will be an exciting team to watch next season.Thats for sure. I for one will try to catch as many games as i can. Huet is outta the eastern conference!! yeahhhhhhhh!!!! Hopefully he plays as well in the western con. as he did in the east. con. Watch for Toews to score 30+ goals. This kid is awesome. I wonder if he'll play in the Olympics?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So you're talking about how great he was never winning a playoff series?

If the team is so talented, why fire Tallon? He built that team.

So true. Many of these guys haven't played together before.

I like Toews as the Captain!

You don't think he's a little bit young OtherOne? Not sure I like it at all, but I wouldn't have a clue who to suggest in his place .....

What are you talking about Bombers guy? Are you complaining about your team being 0-4? And starting a back-up next game?

Great choice for a Captain! Jonathan Toews is a Mark Messier in the making. I've seen him play a lot and he reminds me a lot of the Moose in his younger days. He's a fierce competitor. He's got skills. He can score. He's tough as nails. The Hawks hit the jackpot with this guy!
