Nice piece in USA Today from last week about the resurgence of the Chicago Blackhawks. Apparently, the popularity of this team has reached far beyond Chicago’s city limits.
If people didn’t notice this team during their surprising playoff run last season, they are bound to notice them this year. No longer playing in obscurity, the Hawks are now among the NHL's best teams. They are the hottest ticket in Chi-town these days, and they are featured on NBC’s game of the week two weeks in a row (last Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings and this coming Sunday against the Washington Capitals). And while they carry the city’s hopes for a Stanley Cup on their young shoulders, they seem undaunted by the task ahead of them. I think that bodes well for the collective psyche of this team heading into the final few weeks of the season.
Now if they can only get their defense and goaltending back on track…..
