Last night was a new rock bottom for the 2024-25 Blackhawks.
2-1 on the road to Utah in a game that could’ve been 8-1 if not for Soderbloom.
Seth Jones finally decided to call out what he sees out there.
He stopped just short of calling it “pond hockey”.
New day, same old shit for the Blackhawks.
Everything Jones said was on the money.
I said all year that I don’t care about the results of the games.
I care about habits and culture.
I’ve always been in Seth Jones' corner, but this pissed me off.
Hey man, you’ve been here for four years.
You’re the highest paid player on the team.
You’re the only veteran with a long term deal.
Maybe he has done it behind the scenes and it fell on deaf ears.
I don’t know.
Speaking up now feels like a guy who is simply trying to force his way out of town.
Which, whatever, I don’t care.
I don’t blame him.
The Blackhawks needed him to be a leader when they signed him.
We are still in the early phases of the rebuild.
Everyone says that the Blackhawks need more talent.
That is DEFINITELY true, but you don’t need talent to play the right way.
Two coaches haven’t been able to get a tune out of this roster.
And by tune I don’t mean wins, for the record.
That certainly isn’t the case.
This organization has a long way to go.
you’ve got the option to’t just light switch winning habits when the talent gets there.
