So much for momentum, the Chicago Blackhawks scored first against the Vancouver Canucks then left Western Canada with a 4-2 loss. Tonight they travel to Calgary and look for a much need Win in their quest to get into the Western Conference Playoff race.
The good news is there is 31 games left in the season, and the bad news is there is only 31 games left in the season. Normally at this point of the season, I’m say is it April yet, but now we don’t want the calendar to get there quite as fast as we normally do.
The Chicago Blackhawks youth movement is on full display which is partially to blame for the inconsistency the team is showing right now. This stat is pretty impressive if you are for a youth movement.
The problem as you probably can tell from this stat is that the core isn’t playing up to it’s usually high standards. For the Chicago Blackhawks to succeed and reach the playoffs they need Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Brandon Saad to lead and score. That hasn’t been happening lately and it’s about time for them to put the team on their back and show them how to get to the playoffs.

It starts tonight with a strange decision to start Jeff Glass in net instead of Anton Forsberg who has played good in his last few starts.
Maybe Joel Quenneville knows more than us with this decision. The Hawks need a win that’s for sure!
