Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Back In Line Again

Good Morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas, and guess what there are still three more days until the Chicago Blackhawks are back on the ice. 

Behind Black Friday which is just nuts, but with online shopping not as bad as it used to be, today is one of the worst days to be involved in retail or going to a retail store.

Welcome to return day! It’s the day we show how much we don’t care that someone took the time to buy us a present, and we stand in more lines to return things. It has to be the most miserable line to be in every year.

The Blackhawks are beginning to frustrate their fans and make them miserable on a weekly basis.  One week they look like their glory days, skating up and down the ice like world beaters.

Then there are weeks like this past one where they look totally uninterested and listless and all it takes is one goal by the opposition to put them into a tailspin that evening.

It’s a tough one to put your finger on when you watch them.  They have so much talent, and yet there are so many veterans playing under their norm.

One thing is for certain, they are not going very far with Patrick Sharp on the ice.  He’s just a role player now, and if he accepts that position the Hawks are fine, but if he’s pushing Joel Quenneville for a bigger opportunity then the Hawks are just a flawed team.

The Hawks need to figure it out since we are almost halfway through the season!
