I had not seen the Savard firing until just now. I am a little stunned.

Ya I didn't see that one coming...

On a side note Fabian Brunnstrom scored hatrick in his NHL debut last night...

"The Swede became the third player in NHL history to score a hat trick in his first game, joining Alex Smart of the Montreal Canadiens (Jan. 14, 1943) and Real Cloutier of the Quebec Nordiques (Oct. 10, 1979).Lucky I picked him up for the fantasy pool

Luckily I picked him up in my fantasy pool!

Savard firing seems ridiculous. 4 games into the season? Why not fire him over the summer or give him a chance to succeed?

Totally agree.

Interesting that they hire a guy who was just arrested for drunk driving...good example for all those young guys.

After closer inspection I think this was the plan from the beginning...they weren't just bringing him in as a scout.

Could have been handled with a bit more class, IMHO.

Or hired him before the start of the season...its still confusing to me how a guy with a recent DUI is in charge of running of a team that is so young.

Talk about Social Responsibility
