Blackhawks Head Coach Luke Richardson's recent comments about young star Lukas Reichel have sparked controversy among fans.
Richardson remarked:"We realize when players are down on themselves and we don't want to pile on but it's the NHL. We have to somehow push them to get over that, and a lot of that's internally with the player. We can only do some much."
Following these comments, Blackhawks fans took to Twitter to express their frustration.
One fan wrote, "How does he say that after a fairly good game from Reichel, including an assist? What he says just doesn't match up with what we're seeing."
Another fan expressed, "Richardson's handling of Reichel pisses me off so much. That wasn't a bad game! Every time the kid makes any progress he gets demoted. It's so stupid."
Another chimed in, "That's crap. Most of this team won't be here next year and you have a young guy sitting on the bench. Do what you're supposed to do and coach him."
The comments from Richardson and the subsequent backlash from fans highlight tensions within the Blackhawks community regarding the handling of young talent like Reichel.
