It's that time of year again. Even though the NHL has only been closed down for a few months, it seems as though a whole year has passed since ive seen the puck hit the ice. Fortunately, the 2010-2011 season is just around the corner and as usual, i can smell the expectations in the air.
Expectations are great and all but i have to set a few things straight. Blackhawk fans, YOU WILL NOT REPEAT, I'm sorry,but the truth is, you have lost the main ingredient you had last year that enabled you to bring home the cup, and that is depth. I don't care that you think you have a new band of rookies coming in that will carry you magically to the Stanley Cup. It must be hard for you to realize that players who have not played in the NHL before NEED to develop before they can compete with top teams in the league. Just because a player slips on a Blackhawk jersery does not mean they will automatically play like kane, toews, or any other talented Blackhawk. My main point is, sure the Blackhawks have a chance of making the playoffs but COMMON people, they have been stripped down to a team who has nothing after their top 8 players. So please, lower your expectations Blackhawk fans, unless ofcourse you enjoy the feeling of dissapointment as much as mapleleaf fans do.Well, i could go into alot more depth of why the hawks will not repeat but i'm sure if you have a little common sense you can see the many flaws in the logic of the hawks repeating.
