Arizona Coyotes Hunting For Points Against Blackhawks
By Alex Temes
AT: Chicago has had a lot of ups and downs recently, going between a complete dusting in Washington a couple weeks ago and a shutout over Boston a week later. What do you think has been the cause of these ups and downs?
GB: “Its been said time and time again that the Blackhawks are exhausted from countless playoff runs, but this is simply not the right excuse. The Washington Capitals were the better team by far and they still are. The Blackhawks have their fits with regards to finding consistency, but will all of the sudden flip the switch and look like no doubt contenders. The cause for these up’s and down’s is almost 100% mental. Earlier in the year, the ‘Hawks struggled at getting off to good starts in games. Well, now the problem has been finshing games and playing a strong 60 minutes. Of course thats easier said than done, but Chicago needs to find the even medium rather than letting up on teams.”
