The Blackhawks are back!!! Hold down the applause. Yeah, I think it’s going to be a long season on the ice. Well, actually it’s a short season… 56 games I think, so I guess that’s helpful; 26 less opportunities for pain. Still, it ain’t going to be pretty this year folks, but that’s OK. I’m ready for it.
Opening night on Wednesday was our first installment. The Hawks were wiped out 5-1; it wasn’t even that close. Sure, it was the defending champions on their home ice on banner night, but I’m ready to witness more of these types of games. It would have been a tough season regardless, but when you add in the absences of Toews, Dach, shit even Nylander, the tough just got tougher. Even the healthy, but still old and slow, Seabrook is out for a while now; I will always love Brent. Yeah, Patrick Kane will not be able to score a hat trick every night. We’ll need offense from other sources; here’s looking at you Brinksy cat. We’ll need a lot more than that, because we knew, we wouldn’t have those guys capable of standing on their heads in goal to bail our anemic offense and swiss cheese defense out.
Subban got the first crack at it. He made a phenomenal save that will be on all the highlight reels for this year going forward, so hey, he’s got it in him. And yes, all 5 goals cannot be put directly on him, but… he’s no Crow… he’s no Lehner. We let both of our goalies go and now will have to pay the piper. Rolling with a combination of “need to prove something” goalies is the biggest reason for the tough season that lie ahead. But hey, no pressure right… at least not for coach Colliton.

I’m not as pissed as I was about Bowman sticking around… in fact, I’m kind of like whatever with it. Getting rid of Coach Q was another mistake, but that ship has sailed. Jeremy may be OK, I don’t know.. it’s still too early. Surely, he’s not going to look OK this year, if that look is based on the win-loss record. So they sign him, and signal that he will be the coach that guides us through this tough time, which will most likely extend beyond just this year. I hope he turns out OK; he’s certainly not the main one to blame here. Like I said, whatever…
Still, I rocked my Blackhawks jersey for opening night and watched as much as I could throughout the evening; I plan to do the same tonight, splitting time with the Bulls of course. I still swapped out the Bears flag with the Blackhawks flag in front of the house; don’t have a Bulls flag btw. I’ll enjoy watching them play; I’ll root them on. Unlike the past decade, my expectation level is very low this year, which will help the stress level stay down; any wins will be nice surprises. I guess we’ll just have to take this one on the chin huh? And yet Bowman stays? OK, I said my stress levels were going to be low… Go Hawks!
