I hear you. The Blackhawks needed rebuilding after 2017. But bad contracts and stubborn management kept kicking the can down the road. I doubt they win more than 20 games this year. So tank it and hope for the number one draft pick. Still going to watch.
Blackhawk tickets at the United Center are about 1/2 the cost from previous years. Season ticket holders have had the ability to do instant upgrades and sit (almost) anywhere they want....
