Welcome to a new installment where we will preview each of the other NHL teams who simply make up the bulk of the league the Avalanche play in. Today, we preview the Chicago Blackhawks.
Their head coach: Joel Quenville, who the former Avs management decided in 2008 didn't have the tools necessary to make it as a head coach in the NHL. Since then, Quenville has won the Stanley Cup on three separate occasions as head coach of the Blackhawks. Good move, guys. Quenville does have lots of Colorado ties, as he was an assistant coach when Colorado won its first Stanley Cup in 1996.
