NHL team attempts to send a strong message on Tuesday night by scratching over 1,600 games worth of players - the outcome was truly a failure.
The Chicago Blackhawks made a bold move for their game against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.
They healthy scratched four players, who tallied up for a whopping 1,615 games worth of NHL experience.
Philipp Kurashev, Joe Veleno, T.J. Brodie, and Louis Crevier will all be removed from the lineup, and it shows that head coachAnders Sorensen isn't afraid to shake things up by putting his foot down.
Philipp Kurashev has 309 games, TJ Brodie has 962, Joe Veleno has 292, and Louis Crevier has 52.
Blackhawks make lineup moves after 6-2 loss to Canucks
That adds up to exactly 1,615 games of experience being left out of the lineup. This isn't just a small tweak, t's a loud statement after their recent loss against the Vancouver Canucks.
But it surely didn't help, as they endured another 6-2 loss against the Kraken.
The Blackhawks are saying that no one is safe, no matter how long they've been in the NHL or how many games they've played. If you're not playing well, you're out. It's a clear message to the whole team: step up or sit down.
