Blackhawks Talk Podcast: Are the Blackhawks for real? originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Here are the numbers: As of right now, the Blackhawks are 9-5-4, have won three in a row, seven of the last 10 games, and are tied with the Florida Panthers for first place in the Central Division. How are they doing it? Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis discuss the seemingly instant growth of the young players and whether this is sustainable. Later in the podcast, the guys dive into who has been outperforming expectations the most so far, and Alex DeBrincat’s chemistry with Patrick Kane.
