I wouldn't have said this before I saw it in action, but - by complete happenstance - I think Joel Quenneville just partook in the one activity that could bring him even more support in the city Chicago. The vast majority of Blackhawks' loyalists were already firmly in the corner of the mustachioed man with which they celebrated three Stanley Cups, as opposed to the corner of the management team that needed a scapegoat for their stupid mistakes following said Stanley Cups. However, getting caught on candid camera slugging some soul warmer with the most devoted of diehards is enough to get the attention of even the casual hockey fans in the Windy City. That's just a "man of the people" move amongst the people that would be most appreciative of that sort of thing. The only thing that makes the heart grow more fonder than absence is alcohol, and Joel Quenneville currently has both those things working in favor of a resume that doesn't need reinforcement. So suck on that Stan Bowman, and by "that" I don't mean some bargain basement barrel aged whiskey from a repurposed piece of winter sports equipment. Instead, by "that" I mean yet another...ahem...shot to the credibility of a front office that was already deemed foolish following the firing of the 2nd winningest coach in NHL history, even before said coach became family with a grateful fanbase through a shared indulgence in firewater.
