Luke Richardson is more focused on the New York Yankees than the Chicago Blackhawks in latest interview
TheNew York Yankees lost the World Series last night to the Los Angeles Dodgers and wunderkind, Shohei Ohtani.
Today in an interview with Luke Richardson, Blackhawks analyst Darren Pang asked the coach about his opinion on the World Series.
He was happy with the victory as a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, who won the series, 4-1 over the legendary baseball team, the Yankees.
He editorialized on the Yankees' three errors, as they lost their momentum in the series and allowed the Dodgers to capitalize upon them, and win.
Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts were pivotal pieces for the Dodgers and capitalized upon the Yankees during the series.
The Yankees blew a 5-run lead which Richardson was addressing:
Young shortstop Anthony Volpe and ace pitcher Gerrit Cole also committed costly mistakes. New York's bullpen squandered a one-run lead in the eighth, and the Dodgers held on for a 7-6 victory Wednesday night in Game 5 that wrapped up their eighth championship and second in five years.
Which leads us to question, after last night where is Richardson's head? The Blackhawks may have had some solid wins recently, but they're not the improved club they should be.
While he was correct about the Dodgers executing to win, the Blackhawks need his help to execute on the ice. An issue that has plagued the team as of late.
The Hawks are 3-6-1 and facing their bottom-dwelling brethren in the San Jose Sharks, who are 2-7-2.
Richardson should be more focused on the team on the ice instead of the team in Los Angeles. This is another case of Richardson's lack of oversight being an issue, as he's pulled out productive players like Ryan Donato recently, while letting Philipp Kurashev in a 2C spot he didn't belong in.
The Sharks should come out hungry tonight, as they are energized after their 4-2 spanking of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Sharks aren't an elite team, but they have pieces that are solid in Mikael Granlund, Tyler Toffoli, William Eklund, and Fabian Zetterlund( a 20-goal scorer last season.)
Can Coach Richardson pull himself out of the Dodgers' rear end to get us a win tonight against the trash-eating Sharks?
