Languishing at the bottom of their conference and second last in the league, not even a miracle will save their season. Yet, as the end of the regular season looms closer, it seems the team is struggling even to salvage whatever is left of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being in a five-match skid, the Blackhawks have hit rock bottom after losing back-to-back matches with identical 6-2 scorelines. That\u2019s 12 goals, against just 4 of their own. Their latest loss came against Seattle Kraken, a team struggling in 7th place in the Pacific Division. Naturally, <em>\u201ctensions are running high\u201d<\/em> as <strong>Anders Sorensen<\/strong> and Co. face some difficult questions.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the condition over at the Blackhawks camp is so bad that the team is giving up on<em> \u201csupposed\u201d<\/em> off days. Chicago Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope revealed that the whole team attended a video review of their latest 6-2 disaster, and then practiced. Sorensen explained it wasn\u2019t a pleasant affair: <em>\u201cWe were honest with each other. Looked at some not-so-pleasant clips from last night.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, honesty alone is clearly not working for the Blackhawks. Thankfully, Coach Sorensen assured reporters he and the team are working on turning things around in double time. In fact, that\u2019s the reason they got back to practicing despite the day initially starting as an off-day. <em>\u201cTrying to clean some of that stuff quickly. We play again tomorrow,\u201d<\/em> said the coach.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tensions are running high in the Blackhawks today. I think it was supposed to be an off-day, but they were called in for a video review (followed by practice).<\/p>\n<p>Sorensen: &quot;We were honest with each other. Looked at some not-so-pleasant clips from last night.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenPopeCST\/status\/1902415220452012392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another reason why the Chicago Blackhawks are desperate to get their act together. <em>\u201c[We\u2019re] trying to keep everybody on the same page, and I think the guys are, for the most part, doing a decent job,\u201d<\/em> revealed coach Sorensen. However, losing five games and the last two with such big margins is eating away at the confidence of the Blackhawks squad.\u00a0That\u2019s something the coach desperately wants to avoid. Sadly, there\u2019s a possibility that the interim head coach\u2019s days with the Blackhawks may be numbered.<\/p>\n<h2>Will the Chicago Blackhawks replace Anders Sorensen?<\/h2>\n<p>The Swedish ice hockey coach took over as the coach after Luke Richardson\u2019s departure. As if being a first-time NHL coach wasn\u2019t bad enough, Sorensen had to revitalize a slumping team. While things looked to be going in the right direction, Sorensen\u2019s Blackhawks have once again found themselves near the bottom of the lot.<\/p>\n<p>Under Anders Sorensen\u2019s leadership, the Chicago Blackhawks have gone 12-23-7 with a .369-point percentage. While that\u2019s a slight improvement from Richardson\u2019s .346-point percentage, the Hawks fell behind on a key metric. Besides struggling with defensive woes, the team\u2019s offense stats have also taken a huge hit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.essentiallysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Connor-Bedard-1-e1740292843886.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the Blackhawks sported a 43.5% goal share under Luke Richardson, that statistic is now 43%. And it\u2019s understandable, considering how the NHL team\u2019s biggest talents haven\u2019t had a great season either. Take 19-year-old prodigy <strong>Connor Bedard<\/strong> for example. After a stellar rookie season, Bedard has struggled to score goals recently, even earning back-to-back penalty dismissals.<\/p>\n<p>So all in all, it\u2019s safe to say that things are not adding up for the Chicago Blackhawks. Now the question is: Will their efforts to snap the losing streak pay off tomorrow against the LA Kings? Or will Anders Sorensen and Co. have to deal with another bout of disappointment?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Blackhawks coach speaks out on confronting difficult reality after his team&#8217;s massive back-to-back losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18080,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
