The Hockey Writers Chicago Blackhawks writing crew of Brooke LoFurno and Gail Kauchak get together to discuss the week that was for the Blackhawks, being patient with defensive woes as the team finishes out the season and their current lack of accountability. They also talk about Lukas Reichel being sent down to Rockford and whether it was the right decision, the play of Alec Regula and Alex Vlasic and their potential to be number-one defensemen, player shoutouts to Tyler Johnson and Boris Katchouk, and more.
