Chicago Blackhawks Should Model Penguins’ Path To Cup Contention
The Chicago Blackhawks are mired in their third straight season with no playoff success after winning the Stanley Cup in 2015. Should they emulate what the Pittsburgh Penguins did after losses mounted following winning their Stanley Cup win in 2009?
Only the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup three times over the past 10 years. While the Blackhawks won their three in a more condensed timeframe (three in six seasons), they are now faced with a similar situation as Pittsburgh was in 2012.
There are many similarities between these organizations, and the ‘Hawks can learn something from the path Pittsburgh took to get back to an elite level.
