Sheldon Brookbank is in charge of both the Blackhawks’ defense and the penalty kill, both of which have been lacking.
A questionable hire by the Blackhawks in January 2019, Sheldon Brookbank hasn’t done the best job with the responsibilities he was given. The defense looks great on paper, but their system doesn’t work. Their tendencies leave the goaltender out to dry, such as overaggressive pinches that result in an odd-man chance against.
I was confused about this hire by the Blackhawks as Brookbank didn’t do that great with the IceHogs with the same responsibilities.
