Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Must Win Situation

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The Chicago Blackhawks are in a must win situation according to Joel Quenneville which shows you his attitude about winning. We can have our gripes about Coach Q and his use of young players, but you can never dispute his will to win and the will he puts into the Chicago Blackhawks roster.

The Chicago Blackhawks have another day of rest which is probably a good thing for the Chicago Blackhawks big 4 defenseman. I’m sure we will continue to hear about Trevor van Riemsdyk playing on the 3rd D pairing for the rest of the Stanley Cup Final until he makes his first appearance in a Hawks jersey since 2014.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter the last pairing when Kyle Cumiskey and David Rundblad are only getting 7 and 5 minutes a game. The Big 4 were able to survive and then thrive against the Anaheim Ducks so even if they are a bit winded look for Coach Q to continue to call their number time after time.

Here are some morning links to kick off your Friday morning.
