I'm going to share a story about Joel Quenneville I've never shared before.

Back in 2010, the Hawks' Cup party was a week-long event all over Chicago. I went to Stanley's on Lincoln one night with some buddies ... late in the night, the place goes wild ...

Joel Quenneville didn't build this roster. But he took the fall for it, ending a power struggle with the Bowmans that has lasted more than six years.

The Blues visit the United Center on Nov. 14. Wouldn't it be something if Joel Quenneville was behind the visitors bench?

Media room wag: "If Joe Maddon takes the Cubs to the World Series next year, does that qualify as a lame-duck dynasty?"

White Sox GM Rick Gahn said that manager Rickey Renteria had his contract extended "awhile ago" The Sox never announced that move. Hahn also said that reports that Renteria having signed a three year contract when hired is not necessarily correct.
