The National Hockey League season is officially underway. Over the weekend, the San Jose Sharks and Nashville Predators got it kicked off overseas and then it began in North America on Tuesday night. The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t play but we saw two really good games.

The New York Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Los Angeles Kings in a thriller.

It was a magnificent way for the league to get kicked off. Now, the rest of the teams are going to start getting their first sets of games in.

For the Hawks, they are getting things started on Wednesday night. It will be a later game for the local folks as they are on the road to take on the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.

The Chicago Blackhawks will have their work cut out for them this season.

The defending Stanley Cup champions are going to raise their banner to celebrate what was an excellent ending to a fantastic season. Blackhawks fans know a thing or two about nights like that for their team. It should be a very special night as the Avalanche celebrate what was a special team.

It is certainly not going to be easy for the Chicago Blackhawks to spoil their special night. With players like Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and Mikko Rantanen ready to defend their crown, they are going to be hard to beat.

Things are actually going to be very hard for the Chicago Blackhawks all season long. These are the three boldest predictions that you will find about the team going into this season:
