My “Blackhawks” have nine games left and their season is done
Second last in the league and well out of a possible playoff run
“San Jose” occupies the basement but has two games in hand
Just two points behind “Chicago”, can you understand?
Once again we are in contention for pick number one
Of course we won’t know until the season is done
We will end up with more points than our previous year
Not really much of an improvement if I want to be sincere
This team could still end up in last place when this year is completed
Depending on how many more times they are defeated
They will be showcasing a lot of their young talent in the games remaining
It will be a chance to see them in action, so I’m not complaining
It will be interesting to see how many more they will win
Personally I am getting tired of being on the outside, looking in
I see a pattern that this team has used before
They need another “young gun” to help “Connor Bedard” score
It took just three years to win it all after “Kane” and “Toews” were united
So if we draft a great linemate we may have every reason to be excited!
They have so many young stars ready to shine
I think the future is looking fine
This year they have been more competitive but seem to just fall short
They need to bring in some great free agents to give them support
I think it’s time to give their youngsters free rein
It shouldn’t be too long before we are in the playoffs once again
This team is in the top ten in “penalty killing” and the “power play”
Get the right line combinations and we could be well on our way
So if they get the right pieces and put them in place
Perhaps next spring they could be in a playoff race
It’s now been a decade if you can recall
That this storied franchise last won it all
It would be so fitting for another reason
Next year the “Blackhawks” will be in their “Centennial” season
