Sports are a performance based, results oriented business where people, even friends, are fired and moved out due to their results or lack thereof. Some stays are longer and some are shorter, but….when it’s over, it’s over.
Those facts became even more evident Tuesday, as the Chicago Blackhawks fired three-time Stanley Cup Champion Joel Quenneville. Along with multiple Stanley Cup wins, Quenneville has amassed an impressive 890-532-77-137 record with an even more impressive 452-249-96 record in Chicago. It turns out this proven coach’s leash was exactly 15 mediocre games long.
