Tyler Johnson Sounds Off After Yet Another Ugly Performance

The Blackhawks have dealt with injuries and the fallout from the trade deadline, but the lack of talent and drive seems to have finally caught up to the Blackhawks with 11 games left in the season. Tyler Johnson had some interesting comments after Thursdays 6-1 blowout loss to the Washington Capitals.

Johnson stated "It's a little embarrassing. We have to play a lot better. We're not sticking to our structure, not sticking to our system. We're just out there right now. We've got to compete and play a lot harder for each other." Johnson isn't wrong with his comments, but given the current situation the Hawks are in, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which they turn it around.

The Blackhawks next four games are against the Wild in Minnesota, then three straight games at home against the Vancouver Canucks, Dallas Stars, and St. Louis Blues. With the Blackhawks injuries once again piling up and lack of experience in the lineup, we can expect much of the same down the stretch.
