No, this is not a direct response to the Chicago Blackhawks defeating the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.
Blackhawks fans are dissatisfied with the way the team has performed this season. Though Chicago earned a win Thursday, there have been more losses of late, and the squad is four points out of a Western Conference playoff spot with multiple teams to jump over.
Fans have wondered if coach Joel Quenneville has lost the locker room. Since the players are not so easily fired, the initial ire will always fall on the head coach. And with Q providing the same voice in the Windy City for nine seasons, it’s not exactly hard to see why.
