I’ll be honest with you and admit seeing the Chicago Blackhawks looking in from the outside of playoff contention is a weird sight.
After being in the hunt or on top of the pack for many years, the Blackhawks are now minus Joel Quenneville and will not taste playoff glory again. For the first time in ten years, they will have missed April entry for two straight seasons. In fact, the last playoff win Chicago had was against the Blues in that thrilling seven game series three years ago.
Tonight, the Blues play their final road game of the 2018-19 season, before the playoffs begin next week.
