Bowman's now GMThe above is a haiku offered by the Chicago Sports in Haiku blog. Who knew such a site existed? (Don't expect me to start writing Badger Haiku; I've never been good with that sort of thing.)
Tallon has a new title
Senior Advisor
Were those late offers
To free agents, the straw that
Broke McDonagh's back?
Anyway, the Chicago Blackhawks have made an official announcement on their website. Stan Bowman is the new GM. And rather than being fired, Dale Tallon has been reassigned to Senior Adviser, Hockey Operations. There will be a live press conference available on the Hawks website at 3PM CT today.
Meanwhile, I have a few more links for you:
- In case you missed it when I added them to last night's post, here are Mirtle's and Puck Daddy's posts.
- Mirtle also reports that former Hawk Matin Havlat is making some cryptic comments on twitter about Tallon's reassignment.
- The Hawks website has a feature video with the Bowmans from the 2009 NHL Entry Draft in Montreal.
- The Second City Hockey blog expresses their displeasure with the recent events.
