Quoting: HatterTParty
I’m pretty sure he’s not talking luck or flukes. He’s talking the whole package and a season worth of proving a team’s worth. In that regard I think a wild card spot is at least a start. 17 seconds, let alone that season, wasn’t luck or a fluke, the hawks were just better than everyone that year. That was 7 years ago though, how we looking compared to the bruins? Not for the future, simply cuz “one goal” and “win now,” just at present.
My point is the amount of parity in the league and often that is determined in big games by luck or flukes. That is hockey. This isn't baseball, basketball or football. Teams can go from bad one year to good the next, that is how close the league is. The Hawks are one really good top 9 player away from making the playoffs straight up (not a wildcard) and a top line LHD from competing to go all the way. That is the parity of the league. The Hawks are also the youngest team out of the 24 in the playoffs right now and top 5 youngest teams in the league. This ship is turning around and unlike basketball, baseball and even football, in the NHL that can happen quickly.
I know you are constantly negative as evidence by your posts above and as I have yet to see a positive post you make about the blackhawks, but if you open your eyes, there is plenty to be positive about this team...dach, boqvist, mitchell, kubalik, cat, strome, Kampf, Highmore, nylander....all under the age 25 or younger....name a team with that much youth in volume that is better then the Hawks?
You know, sometimes the sky is not falling Hatter and at the end of he day, it's only a sport. None of us play for the team or collect a paycheck from them; if this is the way you need to get negative energy out in your life then by all means as you aren't hurting anyone, but otherwise, be reasonable and at least objective.
