Not going to do it… not going to do it… No… NO! I’m not going to get my hopes up… The Blackhawks are not going to storm back and make the playoffs. Nope… not me… not going to happen. Oh hell, who am I kidding? The Blackhawks are back!!!! Haha…
4 straight wins now after the latest victory over the Oilers on Thursday night, and yeah, they weren’t all against crappy teams like the Ducks. In fact, beating the Lightning, the Panthers, and the Oilers is no small task; these are good teams. If that fact alone doesn’t get your hopes up, I don’t know what will… And oh yeah, the Red Wings are next; pencil in a W and 5 in a row?
The Blackhawks sit 4 points out of the final Wild Card spot; they sit 5 points out of the first Wild Card spot. However, there are 6 teams battling for those same 2 spots, and the Blackhawks are at least 4 points behind all of the other teams. I’m not trying to snuff out our hope here… I’m really not. I want to believe, trust me. I’ve just seen this before. In fact, we’ve seen this all year from the Hawks.
It goes like this: lose 9 out of 12, split the next 4, win 4, lose 6 out of 7, win 2, lose 5 out of 6, win 6 out of 8, lose 2, win 6 out of 7, lose 9 out of 11, and finally, win 4. What’s next? Where will this roller coaster ride take us these last 15 games of the year?

Kane, Towes, DeBrincat x 2… and then holding on for dear life in the 3rd period to win 4-3. I was happy to send Mike Smith to the bench after our 4 goals. Watching him swing his stick in anger as he walked to the locker room brought a smile to my face, knowing how this guy has plagued us over his career. Getting the 2 points is what it’s all about.
OK, let’s look at the last 15. Dare I try to predict how the Hawks will fare in each game? It will probably be the exact opposite, but let’s give it a shot. W @ Detroit, L vs St Louis, W vs San Jose, W vs Ottawa, W at Washington, L at Minnesota, W vs Minnesota, W at Buffalo, OTL vs Nashville, OTL vs Pittsburgh, L vs Dallas, W vs Los Angeles, W vs Montreal, W at New York Islanders, and L at New York Rangers. If my predictions hold up, which they won’t, the Hawks will finish with 90 points. That just doesn’t feel like enough when there are 5 other teams in the mix. OK, let’s take a closer look at their schedules… just kidding.
It’s anyone’s guess how the Blackhawks will fare from game to game; I’m sure it’s been a betting nightmare for folks trying to make money off these “guesses”. I’m glad I’m not betting on them… this roller coaster ride has me queasy enough. But I’m going to hold it together… I’m going to dig deep… I’m going to allow that hope to creep in… again… and wait to get slapped back down… again… I’m a glutton for this. Go Hawks!
