I’m shocked by how bad the Chicago Blackhawks have played as of late. Right as we say, “the Blackhawks are back”, they lose seven of their next nine games. If anything helps, a couple of those losses were in overtime, so that helps.
What hurts this time around was the losses to the teams that mattered. The Blackhawks played against the Jets twice, who are ahead of them in the wildcard race. Those two losses are nailing the coffin on the Blackhawks season.
Other losses included the Oilers and Canucks. In every game besides the Canucks, the Blackhawks had a lead.
