This year has been a rollercoaster ride for the Chicago Blackhawks and their fans. One of those rides that only seem like they belong at Cedar Point, or watching the Dow Jones go up and down. But as of right now, things seem to be on an upward trend. Before we get into that, let’s see what happened month by month.
The Colorado Avalanche were one of the top stories last season. After having just 48 points in a miserable 2016-2017 season, the Avs bounced back with making the playoffs last spring. In the post-season, Colorado took it to heavy favorites Nashville Predators, but they fell short in Game 6 loss at the Pepsi Center in Denver when the Preds closed out the series with a resounding 4-0 victory.
Pittsburgh Penguins won eight straight games going to Sunday night, but as soon as they learned Their opponent would be, the Penguins knew the streak would come to an end. The Blackhawks defeated the Penguins for tenth straight time and in comeback fashion. The Pens scored two early goals to jump to a 2-0 lead, but Chicago came back to win 5-3 to offer a little bit of consolation for fans from Windy City.
Marian Hossa announced his retirement from active playing career past May, but that doesn‘t mean Hossa refuses to return to the NHL. The Slovakian power-forward won three Stanley Cups in his career, all of them with Chicago.
The Boston Bruins have been relying on immense depth at the blue line this season, just to tread water in the Atlantic division race.
In their last 15 games, the Wild have won just five times. Just two teams have been worse than the Wild in the meantime and they are the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes. After a very strong start to the season, the Wild are struggling and seemingly cannot catch a break.
The Vegas Golden Knights came in rocking into their inaugural NHL season, in which they won the Pacific division. Then in the playoffs, they easily made it through to the Stanley Cup finals. On their way to the Cup finals, the Golden Knights lost just three games during the playoffs. The Cinderella story came to an end with a 4-1 win for the Washington Capitals in those Stanley Cup finals last June.
It was a heck of a game yesterday at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. Fans across the NHL might be arguing about the Blackhawks playing their third Winter Classic game since 2015, or the Bruins playing their third Winter Classic game since 2010. But it was a great show for players, fans, and everybody, who tuned in to watch it. The game was a promotion of hockey and it was successful.
As the calendar flips over to 2019, the NHL season is heating up, and the division races are getting closer. One division that is tightly contested as we head into the new year is the Pacific Division. In our analysis of each division, it’s time to take a look at the Pacific Division.
It’s no secret that the Calgary Flames are putting together one of their best in franchise history. Or is it a secret that is being kept away in the Pacific division?
After three seasons and change, Dave Hakstol has been relieved of his duties as the Head Coach of the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers have promoted Scott Gordon from the AHL affiliate, Lehigh Valley, to take over the vacancy as an interim head coach.
Fights in practice turned into a practice of cuteness for the St. Louis Blues this week. On top of that, a potential fire sale is on the horizon as the NHL season is inching toward February 25.
