The last games before the All-Star break were played Wednesday night in stadiums around the NHL. So with the break finally upon us, every fan is deprived of real competitive hockey until Tuesday. The Chicago Blackhawks played their last game of the first half Tuesday night in Carolina, where they were shut out 5-0 (bleh).
So with no Blackhawks hockey for the next few days, let’s look back on their first half through the eyes of a teacher. That is right, we are doing a report card. Grades will be given out in the areas of offense, defense, goaltenders, special teams and front office.
