The title of this post may seem a little drastic, but if the Chicago Blackhawks have designs on winning the Central Division, this week is absolutely critical for them. We’ve reach the danger zone of the Blackhawks’ regular season, folks.
The men in the Indian Head managed to break a four-game skid with a 1-0 win over the lowly Winnipeg Jets last Friday, only to turn around and duff one at home against the Minnesota Wild. Yeah, they got a point out of it, but time is running short on claiming any sort of home ice in the playoffs, as the Blackhawks have just nine games remaining.
