New Beginnings

After a heart breaking end to our Stanley Cup Champ repeat journey, the Blackhawks will be returning to the ice September 23rd for the first preseason game against the Red Wings and the first game of the regular season will be October 9th at the Dallas Stars. Many transactions this off-season  with the signing  of Brad Richards, the addition of Kevin Dineen as an assistant coach, and Jimmy Waite as the new goal tending coach.

Now many people might be wondering, "What are the expectations this season?", well to put it simple, this team is still very talented. The Blackhawks have one of the most feared line-ups in the NHL and on paper the Blackhawks appear to have the most talented roster. With that being said, this season looks to be very exciting for the Hawks as they are one of the favorites to win (via Vegas Insider) with a 8/1 odds of winning the Stanley Cup (odds are as of September 1st), which is tied with the Bruins and Kings.
