We’ve entered the portion of the Chicago Blackhawks’ season where they can get a little healthier in the NHL standings and with their statistics. The Blackhawks have another four-game week, and it’s full of relative cupcakes. Of course, there’s a reason they don’t play the games on paper — the Blackhawks still need to show up and win these contests.
But let’s recap last week first. The Blackhawks played four games and took three of them, though it wasn’t as impressive as it sounds. They looked solid last night in a 4-0 trumping of Vancouver, but they looked pretty rotten in two games against Nashville (a win and a loss) and just OK in another win against Winnipeg.
