All good teams must eventually fall. While the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins were dominant for the better part of a decade, they eventually had to fall from the top.
It was expected that the Chicago Blackhawks would stop winning championships eventually. Their core group was eventually going to get older, and the depth chart will take a hit when trading away top prospects each year for rentals at the deadline. While fans are not frustrated that the Blackhawks have fallen off the map, they are upset that teams like the Penguins and Bruins have continued to win.
