Blackhawks Still Learning

from Greg Couch of the Chicago Sun-Times,

See Patrick Kane get a little uppity because someone checked him or elbowed him in the throat. Or smacked him in the head. See the Blackhawks learn how to go through their first little slump. See other teams testing the Hawks, hitting them in the mouth and into the boards to let them know that they’re not kings yet.

Truth is, the Hawks aren’t even grown up yet. We’re still in the early learning stages. They are the one bit of fresh air in Chicago sports now, what with the Bulls collapsing and Lovie Smith trying to figure out whom he can blame for his Bears.

Another young team with great talent, but a team that is getting ahead of itself. Just like I said in the thread about the Bruins, I’d take Detroit, San Jose, or Anaheim to feast on the Hawks in a 7 game series, with little remorse. Chicago would have to be reckoned with, no doubt, but in back-to-back games against Detroit you could see the immaturity of the Hawks both in their tempers and their tactics. If you frustrate them for 3 or 4 (or more) games…
