Remember, just one week ago how deflating it felt to be a Blackhawks fan after that Friday debacle against the Red Wings followed up by the Sunday loss to the Blues? Remember how important that seemed, how much time those hockey-related thoughts dominated your mind?
I promise that was only one week ago, although it probably feels like a decade given the inexplicable events unfolding in the real world.
Even the Blackhawks’ last game, played just five days ago, feels like ancient history: a 6-2 thumping of the Sharks at the United Center that was as thrilling as it was baffling because of how good this season’s Blackhawks team can look juxtaposed with how bad it’s looked in other instances.
