Last years’ Stanley Cup Champs have had a rollercoaster year full ups and downs, which gives true diehard fans something to worry about come playoff time, when one loss could mean the end of a season. So, once again I put the question to our team at Gunzo’s Hockey Headquarters. What are the chances that the Chicago Blackhawks will make it into the playoffs, and if so, how far will they go this year? This is what they had to say:
“Call me an optimist but after last year, I think my Blackhawks can do anything. So they haven’t had a great year, that’s what I love about the playoffs you get a second chance to turn a whole season around.”
“I think they will make it into the playoffs, and they could make it to the conference finals.”
“Right now, like the Blackhawks play, it is a coin toss. They will most likely make the playoffs, but with inconsistent playing, especially at goal tending I don’t see them going too far. I thought this year would be an adjustment, with the core players and new players stepping up to a well above 500 team, but I’m afraid that they just can’t get comfortable in front of Turco or Crawford.”
“The chances of the Blackhawks making the playoffs are good. They need to play great hockey, but once they make the playoffs I can see them going as far as the second round and then running out of gas.”
“The Blackhawks have a slim to none chance of making the playoffs. However if they make it, I think they will beat Vancouver in the first round and lose in the second round.”
“We will definitely make the playoffs, but we probably won’t go further that the second round. But I don’t look at that as a bad thing, because we’ve lost so many players this year. I think next year could be a championship season.”
