NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 The Wings knocked the Blues out of the playoffs in '96, but Quenneville wasn't the coach. He started coaching the Blues in the 1996-97 season. I was referring to 98/99 through 00/01. Edit: Just found it and it was only the 4 Cup seasons. Like McCartyFanForLife stated, it was probably due to the fact that three seasons in a row Detroit knocked them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savaking72 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 I was just flipping through the channels, and I saw a press confrence with the Hawk's brass on the chicago comcast channel. It's official-Quinville is the new head coach. It will be interesting to see what he does with all of that young talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robat 13 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 I was listening to Home Ice on XM on my way home, and they said that The front office in Chicago is a mess. From what they thought, Scotty would be the GM soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robat 13 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 I'm intrigued by this. I'm wondering if it was planned, or (what I think is more likely) he stepped on the wrong toes (be it internal politics, or something more scandalous). I think it was planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted October 17, 2008 I'm so glad you said "discuss" otherwise I wasn't sure if I could reply or not. Thanks! I think Scotty would feel too old to do this. It is a grind. Beside, he went out with a Cup and the chances of that happening in Chicago are slim to none! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrossCheck24 2 Report post Posted October 17, 2008 Did the players not like him? Scotty is probably still on the wings payroll, and is ruining the club. I can't think of any reason they would fire savard. Flat camp? Flat start? Its the beginning of the season, calm down. Even the wings aren't looking so hot right now, but they aren't about to fire babs. The wings should pick up Savard as an assistant, or help in the minors. He did a good job working with the young guys in Chicago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
