The Blackhawks got whacked around last night at the United Center, falling 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild. The Hawks’ lone goal came from Martin Havlat in the second period, as he scored at the 10-minute mark. No biggie. The season goes on, right?

Well, for one dude chilling in the United Center last night, Havlat’s goal won him $1 million. Thanks to an Illinois Lottery promotion, if a Hawks player scored at the 10-minute mark in the second period, the fan would win a million bucks. I don’t know the exact odds of this happening, but I’m betting they are, how do you say this, “incredibly low.” Or maybe put another way, “not a snowballs chance in hell.”

So what does Joel Quenneville think about this fan winning some cheddar last night?

When told during the postgame news conference that a fan had won $1 million on Havlat’s goal, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said, “He did? Good for him.”

The excitement, it’s overwhelming.

One day after replacing Denis Savard as the Blackhawks head coach, Joel Quenneville has made the first change to his staff. Marc Bergevin (or is it?), most recently the team’s director of professional scouting, has been made an assistant coach. When questioned about the new hire, Blackhawks players and personnel could only note that they had never seen Bergevin and Goldblum in the same room.
