Denis Savard

The Tribune has a mid-season report card up for the Blackhawks.

Am I the only one who didn't know that Savard was the new coach of the 'Hawks?

I know he was one of the great players of his generation, but my only memory is of him picking up a stick in the middle of the "Slapshot-fight" against the Northstars and threatening to brain a guy with it. When, after the game, Daniel and I asked Dad what that was about, he replied with something like, "Savard's a little nuts."

And now he's coach of a mediocre hockey team.
