NHL Recap: Chicago Blackhawks



Chicago Blackhawks where one of the big surprises this season. They have a lot of great young talent after getting a couple of high picks past couple seasons. They proved they got a lot of grit to how the pushed the wings in the western conference finals.

They are extremely young at forward. They got some great talent at forward also. Patrick Kane is a rising star along with Jonathan Toews. Jonathan Toews lead the team in goals with 34. Martin Havlat led team in assists and in points at 77 points and 48 assists. They also have Kris Versteeg who was one of the nominees for NHL rookie of the year.

They are extremely young at defense also. They got some veterans on defense to help guide along the younger defensemen. Duncan Keith led the team in +/- at +33. I think that they won't do much about their defense maybe bring in another veteran for leadership.

They are set at goaltender with Christobal Huet. He has proven to be a good starter of the years. I'm only saying that if they lose Nikolai Khabibulin to free agency and have to use Huet as the starter. They are going to be pushing their way around western conference for next few years with all the young talent they have. Next year should be really good for them.
