Did the Blackhawks Fire the Wrong Coach?

On Tuesday the Chicago Blackhawks announced they have fired assistant coach Mike Haviland. This means that both assistants from the 2010 Stanley Cup team are no longer with the team.

Head coach Joel Quenneville had this to say about the move:

I know I can be better in certain areas, and at the same time I had an assessment that there was some dysfunction to our coaching staff and we needed some change. He gave me the opportunity for the first time since I’ve been here to look if I needed changes to our coaching staff. I felt a change was necessary going forward, and it’s not an easy decision.
