The Blackhawks head into Anaheim this evening to face a Ducks team that… well, sucks. The Ducks are awful. They are one of three teams — with the Blues and Blue Jackets — to still have only single digit points in the standings on Nov. 12. In the Bad 4 Bedard Circle of Trust, they have a chair at the table.
But while their stats and record indicate they’re a terrible team, there’s still talent there. Trevor Zegras, someone many Blackhawks fans wish was wearing the road sweater tonight, has become known as one of the artists who can pull off “The Michigan” in the NHL. We’ll see if he tries it tonight against the Hawks.
