Controversy surfaces in Chicago following comments by Blackhawks head coach
In the aftermath of another disappointing shutout loss, Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson shared his frustration with the media, expressing disbelief at the team's missed breakaway opportunities in last night's game.
"I don't know if I've ever seen six breakaways in a game and zero on the score clock. It's frustrating, but I told the guys we've got to keep playing like that and they're going to drop, and we'll start getting healthier and get some more help in that department."
Despite the challenges, Richardson made it known that the team's commitment to playing the right way is important. He stated that pride in their performance while acknowledging the competitive nature of the NHL is needed:
"We're proud of how we're playing, but it's still the NHL, and we've got to find results somehow."
Fans have now responded to the coaches comments, some suggesting he should be fired:
Richardson seems to be under a lot of stress following other comments that surfaced when he was asked how he'll spend his All-Star break coming up:
