Joel Quenneville is handling his recent dismissal quite well.

The former Blackahwks coach and noted Bears fan was spotted tailgating with his fellow Chicago fans ahead of the team's primetime matchup with the Vikings on Sunday night.

Quenneville was even seen throwing back ski shots.

The Blackhawks fired Quenneville following a 6-6-3 start to the season and named Jeremy Colliton as his replacement earlier this month.

Quenneville, 60, is the second-winningest coach in NHL history behind Scotty Bowman with 884 wins. He joined the Blackhawks in 2008, winning three Stanley Cups and helping Chicago make the playoffs every season during his tenure with the exception of last season.

Colliton, 33, has gone 2-2-2 since taking over.
