This year's Winter Classic featuring the St. Louis Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks was an absolute disaster the fans at Wrigley Field, as the Blackhawksgot dominated by a score of 6-2.
Let's face it, the Chicago Blackhawks have been one of the most disappointing team's all year, and their downward spiral continues to intensify.
Following the dismissal of head coach Luke Richardson, fans were hoping for a quick turnaround, but unfortunately, the team continues to struggle.
Following the crushing defeat,
Taylor Hall spoke to the media with a heavy heart, almost on the verge of tears due to his disappointment.
Taylor Hall speaks to the media
"I'm shocked at how we played. It's really disappointing. Our fans have been through so much this year and they really came and supported us today... For us to lay an egg like that, I'm really sad for the people that support us."

Nick Foligno also addressed the media following the loss:
''It's just embarrassing to lose 6-2 in an environment like that,'' Foligno said. ''On this stage, with the excitement that we had before the game, I thought this was going to be a turning point for our club. And obviously it wasn't.''
-Nick Foligno
The Hawks now have lost three consecutive games by four or more goals for the first time in 1987, exemplifying just how horrendous this first week out of the holiday break has been.
Their 6-2 and 5-1 defeats to the Sabres and Stars on Friday and Sunday, respectively, might have been overshadowed somewhat by the anticipation of the festivities Tuesday. But this woeful showing put their flaws on all-too-obvious display for a national TV audience.
