Blackhawks fire Yawney

A slow start has cost another NHL coach his job.

TSN.Ca is reporting the Blackhawks have fired Head Coach Trent Yawney and replaced him with former Blackhawk legend and current assistant coach Denis Savard. Injuries and a porous offense have led the Blackhawks to a bad start of the regular season. Martin Havlat and Nikolai Khabibulin have both missed significant time with injuries and Michael Handzus was lost for the season earlier this year with a knee injury.
