I keep telling myself that we at least have Connor Bedard.

Who am I kidding though? If you're a Chicago sports fan, you should be pretty used to mind-numbing losses. The only difference is that Hawks fans are lucky with #98 on the roster.

Imagine being a Sox fan (me).

***Feb. 21 vs Flyers*** 
***3-1 Hawks Lose***

**Blackhawks** **Flyers** **Goals** 1 3 **Corsi** 56 68 **Shots on Goal** 22 33 **xGF%** 43.06 56.94 **Scoring Chances** 30 30 **High Danger Chances** 11 13

John Torterella warned his team not to take Chicago lightly, and they almost did.

The first period was probably the Hawks' best effort and the Flyers' worst. The fancy stats don't really do the Hawks' effort any justice with an expected goals percentage of 39.84%.

The first goal would come just after the 14:00 mark. **Seth Jones** looked like he was doing something other than defending. **Arvid Soderlblom** did Arvid things and well, 1-0 Flyers thanks to Travis Sanheim.

A few seconds later, **Colin Blackwell** would tie the game 1-1\. Other than Boris Katchouk, Blackwell had been missing a lot of close chances as of late. He finally got one home. The play was initiated by **Joey Anderson** who made a smart pass off of the boards to a streaking Blackwell.

The second period would deflate the Hawks' momentum when **Jarred Tinordi** got hypnotized by Travis Konecny. Tinordi didn't do anything wrong by sticking with Konecny. His partner, Isaak Phillips, read what he was doing and picked up his lane. It's the fact that Tinordi lacks the speed (or anything) to do this. And this is a basic hockey play. Konecny dusted him and made it 2-1.

The final goal of the game would come at the 8:05 mark in the second. Watch Tinordi in this clip. He is doing a terrible job defending and sticking to the most basic defensive structure in the game (Box+1). Garnet Hathaway had no problem getting this greasy one in.

Soderblom was bad but he's not fully to blame on this one. I do want to point out his rebound control. It's pretty bad and he faced a total of 5 rebound shots again at even strength.

Not else to really talk about in this one.

Let's Go Hawks.
