By Jim Neveau Doan nailed it right on the head. No team enjoys being beaten, especially at home, but the Coyotes just could never find a rhythm against this Hawks team. Their primary scorers were shut down, and they couldn’t get a puck past Nikolai Khabibulin or Cristobal Huet.

By Jim Neveau Nikolai Khabibulin is an obvious choice for this award. He has been solid in goal, holding the Boston Bruins to only one goal in their meeting Nov. 12, and not losing a regulation game since the season opener certainly helps his case. Best Defenseman

By Kevin Chroust Thursday, October 16, 2008 Blackhawks fire Savard after four (4) games The Blackhawks today announced the firing of head coach Denis Savard just four games into the 2008-09 campaign. Yeah, I also had to read the headline twice. I'm not even really sure what to write about this move because it's so puzzling. Maybe Savard will call Ned Yost tonight for a beer and a hug. They've played four games. Yes, they're 1-2-1 and in fourth place, but come on, they're a whopping one point out of first place. If you're not going to give the guy a chance this year, fire him well before the season starts. Don't do it the night after they get their first win and actually looked pretty decent on the ice for the first time this year. I've been more critical of the current state...   [read the full post]
