The Chicago Blackhawks are not a very good hockey team. They currently sit in 7th place of the NHL’s Central Division with a 26-41-22 record. They only have four more wins than the last-place Arizona Coyotes and one of those wins came against them on Wednesday night in overtime.
The Blackhawks have seen players like Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat have good seasons while they traded away other good players like Brandon Hagel and Marc-Andre Fleury. Outside of those individual performances, this team has mostly underperformed badly.
