Blackhawks Press Release

The blackhawks continue to play very well and still trail those leafs by a few points. Its looking as the leafs will be taking 1st place overall in the league this season and with the blackhawks possibly taking second place no gurantees. Since the goalie change in net the team hasnt played the same. Fernandez definitely played better in net than varlamov but we need him to get back into his game he had before going to the bench.

In the farm we see the oil kings not being able to win with a top notch goalie in net or not. This team hasnt won a game in a long time. They actually almost won a game in the last game day but came out with a tie which does get them one point. As the farm season comes to an end the oil kings are barely holding onto a playoff spot. This team maybe needs a shake?? or will there be many more farmers dealt this season.
