Timeline
Denis Joseph Savard (born February 4, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.
As a youth, Savard played in the 1973 and 1974 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Verdun, Quebec.
He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1980 to 1997, and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000.
Savard was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks and became the forefront of the team during the 1980s.
He led the Blackhawks to the Conference Finals four times, losing each time, twice being to Wayne Gretzky's Edmonton Oilers.
Savard is known for the spin' o rama move, a tactic in Hockey used to create distance between the puck carrier and opponent.
For the 1980 NHL Entry Draft, the Montreal Canadiens held the first overall pick and many fans hoped the Canadiens would use it to draft Savard.
Instead, the Canadiens drafted Doug Wickenheiser and Savard was chosen third overall by the Chicago Blackhawks.
He began his career during the 1980–81 NHL season in which he had three assists in his first game.
He then went on to set the Blackhawks' record (since broken) for most points by a rookie with 75.
He was known for his trademark move, the 'Savardian Spin-o-rama' (a term actually coined by Danny Gallivan, referencing the move performed by Serge Savard ), which entailed Savard whirling around with the puck in a full rotation allowing him to defeat defenders and goaltenders alike.
Savard had two separate stints with the Blackhawks.
The first was from the 1980–81 season to the 1989–90 season.
His highest point total of 131 came in 1987–88 and his highest goal total of 47 came in 1985–86.
In 169 playoff games, he scored 66 goals and 109 assists for a total of 175 points.
During his absence from Chicago, he played for the Montreal Canadiens (1990–91 to 1992–93) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (1993–94 to 1994–95).
On June 29, 1990, Savard was infamously traded to the Montreal Canadiens for star defenceman Chris Chelios and a second-round pick (Mike Pomichter), a transaction that has since been considered largely in Chicago's favor as Chelios would produce some of his best seasons as a Blackhawk while Savard's career was on the decline.
Savard won one Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Savard won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1993, although Savard was kept out of much of the postseason due to a hairline fracture in his ankle, and was essentially an assistant coach by the clinching game five.
He signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the summer of 1993, where he played a season and a half.
Savard also played with the Tampa Bay Lightning for two seasons before returning to the Chicago Blackhawks in 1994, and then retiring there in 1997.
He has also served as head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL, and now serves as an ambassador for the Blackhawks' organization.
Savard was born in Gatineau, Quebec, but grew up in Montreal.
The second was from 1994–95 to 1996–97.
On April 6, 1995, Savard was traded back to Chicago, for a 1996 sixth-round pick (Xavier Delisle).
Savard's NHL career would end where it had started, with the Blackhawks.
In 1,196 NHL games, Savard scored 473 goals and 865 assists, totalling 1338 points.
Five times during his career he scored at least 100 points and for seven straight years he had at least 30 goals.
Savard officially retired from professional hockey on June 26, 1997.
Shortly after his retirement as a player, Savard began a coaching career with the Blackhawks in December 1997.
On March 19, 1998, the Blackhawks retired his jersey number #18.
Savard was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 13, 2000.
On November 27, 2006, Savard was named interim head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks after Trent Yawney was fired mid-season.
He was commended for leading a young Blackhawks team to within 3 points of a playoff berth during his second season as coach.
He was the highest drafted player in Blackhawks' history, until the organization drafted Patrick Kane with the first overall pick in 2007.
The Hawks finished just one victory away from the .500 mark in 2007–2008.
In 2017 Savard was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history.
