Bad news for HNIC fans as NASN have changed schedules again and they will not now be showing the games originally scheduled for the next 2 weeks.It's now looking less and less likely that it will be back .It's another bad move by ESPN since they took over the channel as HNIC was one of the best things on it.With them dropping the CFL this year aswell it looks like it should now be called the USAN not NASN.

The scary thing is that the Raptors are actually the best team in Toronto right now in terms of ability to get to the playoffs.

The Hawks get their first win of the season against the Coyotes who went in to the game unbeaten. Hawks took the game 4-1 on home ice.

The win didn't help Denis Savard as the Hawks fired him today and replaced him with Joel Quenneville.That's a strange decision at this stage in the season.

For me I think it may be a good move. Quenneville is a great coach and doesnt take any messing which I think was maybe part of Savards problem as he was too nice to the players. Even when he kicked off big style lastseason he then kind of back tracked.

The Hawks have started flat with no real intestity and poor goaltending cost them the first 2 games of the season. Suprised they did this now though after the Hawks best performance of the season.

Rocky Wirtz and the new regime TBF have invested heavily in the club allround and are obviously keen to see some results. Think Scotty Bowman will have had I imagine a valued input into the firing on Savvy and appointment of Quennville with what he had seen since he agreed to join the Hawks in the advisory role.

The other thing this will do is send a message to the whole organisation that if you don't perform your out.

Time will tell if the management will be proved right.

Hawks blow a 3-1 lead against the Blues and go down 4-3 in the S/O. Quennville got his first win in as Hawks coach in the next game downing the Canucks 4-2.
