CHICAGO (AP)—Nikolai Khabibulin made 29 saves and Martin Havlat, Patrick Sharp, Brian Campbell and rookie Colin Fraser scored to lead the Chicago Blackhawks to their first victory of the season, 4-1 over the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Fraser’s goal was his first in the NHL. Campbell’s was his first with the Blackhawks after signing an eight-year, $56.7 million free-agent contract.

Peter Mueller scored for Phoenix, and Ilja Bryzgalov made 26 saves in the Coyotes’ first loss after opening with two victories.

i was there... great game for the Hawks... (they're now 2-0 lifetime in games I've attended, lol)


but not enough to save Savard's job. He got canned today.

I saw it on the News, *** would they fire him so early... He could have turned it around but they didn't even give him a chance. I'm no 'Hawks expert though, maybe you can give me an idea of what wrong ?

TSN was talking about it today, and they mentioned things, like, leaving Huet in net for 7 goals, with the B-Team playing infront of him, for a preseason game, and said that the ownership was doubting his decision making skills because of things like that...
