A trend that started with the likes of Lukas Reichel and Andreas Athanasiou reached its climax Saturday in Vancouver, when Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall was sent to the press box for the night.<\/p>\n<p>As the team returned to Chicago after the two-game road trip, we quickly learned that the move wasn\u2019t exactly the result of a meticulous plan. Hall told the media that he was blindsided by the decision and that he didn\u2019t necessarily agree with it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt was unexpected. I just didn\u2019t know I was even close to being in that spot, really. If there were some conversations in the days leading up about my game, or if I was constantly being shown video, it would be one thing. But I was a bit surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>\u2013 Taylor Hall<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That isn\u2019t to say that Hall is in the right \u2013 it doesn\u2019t take a mastermind to see that his play of late may have warranted a healthy scratch. But the fact that the player and coach seemed to disagree on the decision, and that Richardson didn\u2019t even have a discussion, is pretty intriguing. After all, what does sitting a player down do if you don\u2019t talk to them about it?<\/p>\n<p>To his credit, Richardson admitted he didn\u2019t handle the situation as well as he could have.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Wb52bdsWSVY\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Hall surprised by his benching, Luke Richardson communication needs  to be better #blackhawks - YouTube\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat could be part of my problem, too. Sometimes you give veterans a little bit more of a grace period. I know he\u2019s been frustrated and I don\u2019t want the frustration to leak too long, so it was a good time for a little setback. But for me to communicate with him, I need to get to know the player more \u2014 to see how they like to handle that. Obviously we\u2019ve talked a lot during and after, but maybe before, it needs to be more. That\u2019s just something that I learn about one player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>\u2013 Head coach Luke Richardson<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The news of a disagreement between player and coach further intensifies the Blackhawks\u2019 biggest question \u2013 has Richardson lost the locker room? Sure, that\u2019s a bit of an overreaction from one disagreement\/mistake. However, this is only the latest in a series of somewhat inexplicable actions by the head coach. He\u2019s rarely put out the same line combinations twice, sticking his lines in a blender that continues to fail night after night. This lineup wasn\u2019t exactly built to score a ton of goals, but there\u2019s a difference between a low-scoring team and one that has scored one regulation goal in each of its last five games, and some of that blame inevitably falls on the head coach.<\/p>\n<p>The players aren\u2019t oblivious to the team\u2019s recent failures. While there\u2019s no specific indication that the team is losing trust in its head coach, the relationship there grows a bit thinner with each loss, and mistakes like this one certainly don\u2019t help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news of a disagreement between player and coach further intensifies the Blackhawks\u2019 biggest question \u2013 has Richardson lost the locker room?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3449","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 -
