Monday’s 5-4 overtime defeat has to be a tough one for Chicago to swallow. Nevermind that losing Game 5 pushed the Blackhawks’ to the brink of elimination; this is loss would have been frustrating at any point of the season. The Blackhawks start has be seen by them as simply unacceptable and their incredible late-game rally was spoiled by an early overtime error.
None of that seems to have soured Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews‘ outlook though.
“We feel that we’re a tough team to get rid of,” Toews said, per the Chicago Sun-Times.
