The Bulls, the Bears or the Blackhawks
Who do you got in Chicago right now? If you had to put money on one of these teams making the playoffs and making noise who would it be? Here is my overwhelming choice and why.
No! It is not the Chicago Bears they are just not good enough and if they played the New York Giants right now in the NFC championship they would have have no shot and get blown out worse than the beat down from the Green Bay Packers last week. The Bears are a big mess going in the wrong direction and the only hope we got lies on the arms of two back up quarterbacks and a rookie running back.
Although things are looking better with the Chicago Bulls who might of picked a quality and potential star in Derrick Rose, I still say no to them. This team is a year away from competing with the like’s of Boston and L.A. and not the Clippers. I just do not see the Bulls making a deep run in the playoffs, they might make it there, but as of right now, not good enough for a championship.
That’s right the Chicago Blackhawks will make a run and be the best winter sports team in Chicago this year. After a slow start the Blackhawks have awakened and are rising atop the Western Conference standings. Not saying it will be easy but the Hawks do have a lot of young talented forwards and defense men that are a threat to score. The Blackhawks could still use a big thumper that can take on the rest of the goons of the NHL but as for right now they are the pick to go the furthest and make the most noise as a contender and not a pretender.
In summary, make sure you do not forget about our sometimes forgotten Blackhawks who at one time in Chicago was the hottest ticket in town to catch during the winter. This team has made drastic changes and are looking to re create a hockey franchise that will be the new talk around the NHL for years to come.
