Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Going Back To Cali

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The fun of playing in the Western Conference is playing in Los Angeles the final week of the NHL season. 

So the Chicago Blackhawks get to finish the season in LA which means I get to show off this great video by LL Cool J from back in the day.

Yep this is a meaningless video on a Thursday morning which is exactly how the Chicago Blackhawks played on Tuesday night, and I expect them to play tonight in Anaheim.

The Chicago Blackhawks only have one real thing to do tonight which is stay healthy which is why the Chicago Blackhawks gave up two shorthanded goals to the Colorado Avalanche.

Of course there are two Chicago Blackhawks that do care what happens on the ice in the final two games in the City of Angels.  One is Ryan Hartman trying to get to 20 goals on the season in his rookie year, and the other is Artemi Panarin trying to get his scoring bonus which in the end would cost the Hawks a lot of salary cap.

Besides that there is nothing motivating the Hawks to play hard tonight until the playoffs start in a week or so.  So please bring the playoffs!
