Blackhawks fire Mike Haviland
A Blackhawks coach is leaving Chicago, but it’s not Joel Quenneville – yet.
The ‘Hawks fired assistant coach Mike Haviland on Tuesday in a surprising move few saw coming. It’s pretty safe to assume the first head on the chopping block would have been Mike Kitchen, given his responsibilities with the horribly bad special teams.
Al Cimaglia wrote recently he heard Haviland had an “unwritten promise” to succeed Coach Q, but that sure doesn’t seem to be the case now. I’m assuming Haviland was just as surprised as we are.
Then again, the Blackhawks needed a fall guy for another disappointing playoff “run,” and rather than Kitchen, Q decided to let go of supposedly his right-hand man.
So, in a matter of months Haviland went from being a finalist for the Winnipeg job to unemployed. Seems like a tough break.
We’ll be back with an update once we hear from those who made the decision.

Q's hook-up of kitch will prove to be his claim to fame when Chicago gets rid of Him. assistent coach firing only to direct attention to someone else . Shows His character
Strange move. Q's defense of Kitch was even more alarming. I saw the white board in Kitch's hands before an epic PP fail not Havi's. Either the hawks are not buying into Kitch and Q doesn't like that or Q is hooking up a friend. This is much is certain; if the Hawks fail next season Q is a gonner by December and Kitch is too.
HAVI S A CHARACTER GUY WHO WORKS WELL WITH YOUNGER PLAYERS,UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOUR TEAM IS NOT DOING WELL ITS EASIER TO DUMP A COACH THAN A PLAYER.i SAY HAVI WILL NOT BE UNEMPLOYED VERY LONG,maybe a head coaching position is in the horizon.Goodluck Mike
mikes the best.......Q is an asshole
Although its a BIG suprise and a HUGE loss to the Blackhawks, we probably did him a HUGE favor. Havi deserves to be a Head Coach of his own team!! He wont be unemployed very long!!!!
maybe the canadiens came calling..
