Savard firing seems ridiculous. 4 games into the season? Why not fire him over the summer or give him a chance to succeed?

Totally agree.

Interesting that they hire a guy who was just arrested for drunk driving...good example for all those young guys.

After closer inspection I think this was the plan from the beginning...they weren't just bringing him in as a scout.

Could have been handled with a bit more class, IMHO.

Or hired him before the start of the season...its still confusing to me how a guy with a recent DUI is in charge of running of a team that is so young.

Talk about Social Responsibility

You know, one DUI can be a case of a night of poor judgment...I wouldn't trash a guy's career over it.
