There isn’t a single scenario where the Chicago Blackhawks can make the NHL playoffs. Languishing at the bottom of their conference and second last in the league, not even a miracle will save their season. Yet, as the end of the regular season looms closer, it seems the team is struggling even to salvage whatever is left of the season.
Besides being in a five-match skid, the Blackhawks have hit rock bottom after losing back-to-back matches with identical 6-2 scorelines. That’s 12 goals conceded, against just 4 of their own. Their latest loss came against Seattle Kraken, a team struggling in 7th place in the Pacific Division. Naturally, “tensions are running high” as Anders Sorensen and Co. face some difficult questions.
In fact, the condition over at the Blackhawks camp is so bad that the team is giving up on “supposed” off days. Chicago Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope revealed that the whole team attended a video review of their latest 6-2 disaster, and then practiced. Sorensen explained it wasn’t a pleasant affair: “We were honest with each other. Looked at some not-so-pleasant clips from last night.”
Tensions are running high in the Blackhawks today. I think it was supposed to be an off-day, but they were called in for a video review (followed by practice).
