June 23rd, 2017 - the Chicago Blackhawks just won the Western Conference before getting swept by Nashville in the 1st round of in the playoffs. Chicago scored 1 goal on 111 shots at 5v5 that series.
At the draft, GM Stan Bowman traded franchise superstar & Patrick Kane's linemate, Artemi Panain (w/ pieces) in exchange for Brandon Saad (w/ pieces).
Since then:
— Panarin has a 98pt pace across 668 games - 6th league wide in total points
— Saad has a 41pt pace across 616 games - 180th league wide in total points
The day the Blackhawks dynasty ended.
The Brewers set the tone in their series opener vs. the Cubs with a dominant 9-3 win, but Pat Murphy still expects his guys to be better.
"They don't even know most of our guys names so they're never going to be intimated by us, but we're not looking for that." @WISN12News
