Two views of the state of the Blackhawks

Here is a bad assessment of the Blackhawks by GM Stan Bowman, and a good one by the Trib's David Haugh.

Since it's Bowman rather than Haugh who is going to make the decisions, I can't say I'm optimistic about next season. Maybe that Pirri kid can be the Hawks' second line center next year- he led Rockford in scoring- but Patrick Kane belongs on the wing. And while we might as well resign ourselves to another season of the Crow between the pipes; Bowman badly underestimates the importance of a consistent goaltender.
