By any and all measures, the Chicago Blackhawks had a disappointing season last year. Many pundits believed that the Blackhawks would drop to maybe fourth in the Central Division, but all the way to the bottom? The thought was laughable.

However, as we learned in middle school science, for every reaction, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Just as the Vegas Golden Knights had an incredible season, the Chicago Blackhawks had a horrific season.
