Opponents lining up to end Blackhawks’ streak

(MCT) — CHICAGO — The season after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010, it was like the numbers on their sweaters had been replaced with targets as every team ramped up its game to take its best shot at knocking off the defending champs.

After the Hawks soared through the first 19 games of this season without a regulation loss, the target has returned. About the only thing missing is a carnival barker shouting, “Step right up and try to be the first team to knock off the Hawks!”
