Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- That Was Unexpected

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The Chicago Blackhawks went into Joe Louis Arena for the last time last night, and they left with a loss which was well unexpected. 

The Chicago Blackhawks last appearance in Joe Louis Arena went as well as a lot of them did during the years..Not to good.

The Detroit Red Wings are in last place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they still found enough game last night to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2.

The game started out like it was supposed to with Patrick Kane feeding Artemi Panarin with a perfect set up for his patented one timer to put the Hawks up 1-0, but it was pretty much all Red Wings and Tomas Tatar the rest of the way.

I will say I’m ready for the Tomas Jurco experiment to be over, and bring back Vinnie Hinostroza back from Rockford. Jurco doesn’t seem to be doing much as his clean scoresheet game in and game out proves.

I understand the reasons why the Hawks are playing Michal Roszival and sitting Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson, but it is a huge difference when Trevor van Riemsdyk who did score is on your 2nd defensive pairing and not your third.
