Will the Blackhawks miss the playoffs again?

Anyone?

With the lack of leadership from the "Captain" over the past few years (resulting in a 1st round exit and missing the playoffs the following year) the Hawks have been in a steady decline. I don't really see the arrow pointing up any time soon unless the Hawks do the right thing and strip the C off of Toews (which should have been done years ago when I correctly pointed out that Toews was slacking off since he signed his contract. I was permanently banned for the 3rd time for suggesting such a fact...)

So the question remains... can the leaderless Blackhawks make the playoffs, or is this yet another season that ends in mid-April?

I think it's going to be close. We lack depth and quality on the blue line, and without Crow in net not sure Cam will be able to stand on his head. I feel we are a fringe playoff team.

SPOILER ALERT: Hawks suck

I had planned to find this out as the season went along.

Thanks for ruining this for me.

What an ass-hole you are.

With Crawford playing out of his mind again we'll be a wildcard.

With Ward? We'll be challenging Wankouver and Colorado (by proxy of Ottawa) for top slot in the Hughes sweepstakes.

It's not all doom and gloom though, I'm interested in seeing how El Gato, Schmaltz, and possibly Joker develop.

All depends if Crawford is healthy. Even Captain Toews, God that he is, can't carry a team that gets lit up like a Christmas tree every game. Also everyone else needs to start contributing more.

Maybe watch a few games first before there's a declaration of a Sox/Bulls race to last, tank job....
