from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
“It doesn’t matter how we feel out there,” Toews said. “There are going to be tough times during the schedule with little things nagging at you like injuries, fatigue or whatever it is.
“We need to figure out those little excuses don’t matter and we all need to step up and play better in those moments and learn how to play through adversity.
“We know what kind of team we are and showed it in December. We want to keep going down that path and keep getting better. Obviously the way we’ve played the last two games is a setback.”
The Hawks still are fourth in the Western Conference, but it’s a team in a downward trend, particularly offensively.
Quenneville questioned the Hawks’ work ethic in the last little while.
“The mind-set is we have to think of checking,” Quenneville said. “A lot of things are going to be resolved by checking and simple plays and getting opportunities off it.
“I think we’re probably sick and tired of people telling us how good we are instead of how hard we work, and that’s going to get us out of it.”

I just don’t see Chicago. I reaaly don’t…they aren’t that good. St Louis can beat you if they ever get good goaltending. They work their butts off. That’s the beauty of hockey. A last place team is still battling….you would never see than in the NBA or the other sports
