Tale of the Tape: Chicago Blackhawks Offense Shows Little Weakness

It may be early into the off season, but by the looks of the Chicago Blackhawks, they are sure contenders for the 2009-2010 Cup Finals. When we look at the depth of this young Chicago teams offensive core, they show many strengths. Here is a look at the possible lines for the upcoming season: Line One Sharp - Bolland - Kane This line has played well together in the past and I have no doubts they can repeat the success they had last season.

This line speaks for itself for the most part. ... (link)
