Luis Robert on HR in 7th: "The pitcher was throwing hard and I was too aggressive in that at bat. When I swung and missed, the fans started making jokes and booing and I didn't like that. That's why when I hit the ball I did what I did because I didn't like the fans reaction."

No Toews. Mostly no Dach. One of the youngest rosters in the NHL. They completely exceeded expectations. Kinda hard to say it was a good season for a team that missed the playoffs. But I think it was a good season for the #Blackhawks . Long way to go but something to build on.
