I don’t really understand this move. John McDonough didn’t do much as far as hockey operations is concerned. That being said, I would have to guess that general manager, Stan Bowman, is next.
It’s been five years since the Blackhawks last won the Stanley Cup. I felt strongly that they had a great chance in 2017 with the best record in the conference. Instead, they were swept in the first round by the Predators. They haven’t made the playoffs since.
On the other side, this shows that Rocky Wirtz does not tolerate losing. It’s been three years since they’ve been to the playoffs and that was enough for him to make a change. He’s the only owner in Chicago sports that when he sees his team losing, he makes changes. It took the Bulls 17 years to finally make changes. The Bears make changes every few years, but that’s not saying much.
We’ll see what happens as the summer gets underway.
SHOW DA FIRE AND PASSION, MY FRENDT!
