Professional sports usually has a simple bottom line: win much more than you lose.
The Blackhawks, though, want to be judged on different criteria.
“Everything is judged by wins and losses, and that’s not the way it works,” Hawks coach Brian Sutter said again Tuesday. “If you played any sport or built any business, [you know] this is a process, and it’s not fun on some days.”
The Hawks’ nine victories are an NHL-low and their fewest victories on New Year’s Eve since 1956-57.
But Sutter said fans can’t get hung up on winning and losing.
“If I lose focus and jump up and down and go crazy over the results … regarding wins and losses, our team is going to totally lose focus,” he said.
WOLVES 2, AEROS 2: The Wolves extended its unbeaten streak to four games, rallying twice to tie the Aeros at the Toyota Center in Houston on Tuesday night.
