The problem was evident when Luke Richardson was head coach and it has still popped up under Anders Sorenson. This team has struggled all season keeping its focus for sixty minutes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">They sometimes play like they think they can win on talent alone when they do not have enough talent to win on talent alone (credit the movie Miracle for that great line).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">You would like to see the Hawks get up for every NHL team they face instead of putting on their best effort for only the elite teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">Hey, winning is winning so you take them any way you can get them. It is just so odd that the Hawks can crush the Dallas Stars 6-2 or beat the defending Stanley Cup champions Florida Panthers 3-1 but then get boat-raced by the Buffalo Sabres.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 of the 15 Blackhawks victories have come against teams in contention for the playoffs.
