We’ve covered the defense and the goaltending so far in re-hashing everything that went wrong with the 2017-18 Chicago Blackhawks season. Now, it’s time to focus on the other end of the ice.
While there were plenty of other areas where things went wrong on offense this season (hey there, power play), two players bore much of the criticism for a Chicago offense that ranked 22nd in goals scored this season: Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad.
These two players spent over 700 minutes of even-strength ice time together, each serving as the other’s most frequent linemate this season.
