I'll preface this post by saying that I'm only a casual Hawks fan. I cannot profess having any expertise in hockey or having suffered through the many dark eras of Chicago Blackhawks fandom. What I will say is that listening to the idiots calling in to the Score this morning made me almost shake my head off. What I saw from that series is a pretty damn good LA team and a Chicago team that probably overachieved. Does it kill having it all come down to one possession and losing? Absolutely. But hearing someone call in and ask what Bowman has ever done and having guys calling in and blaming the olympics, or Corey Crawford's contract or how they overspent on (insert any number of players here).
Be grateful. This team has won two cups and experienced a lot of playoff success in a short period of time. You dropped a 7 game series, in overtime, to a former champion, after being down 3-1. There's not a lot of shame in that.
2024: Maybe there's some hope?
