What a horrible year for Chicago Sports! constant let down after let down, due to injuries. Starting the bad luck was the Chicago Bears. With an excellent start to their season, many of us fans believed that they had a chance at making a run in the playoffs. All until Jay Cutler got injured making a tackle, after an interception. If that wasn't enough to make a Bears fan lose hope, shortly after, running back, Matt Forte got injured. With their 2 best offensive players injured, the Bears quickly kissed their season goodbye. Next came the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks had a good season going, and made the playoffs again. But towards the end of the season their captain Johnathon Toews got a concussion that sidelined him till the first round of the playoffs. As good as it was to have him back, it would have been better if he was at 100%. With a injured captain the Hawks started their push in the off season, until game 3 when all-star Marian Hossa got hit in the head and had to exit the series earlier than planned. With 2 teams down, the last hope for Chicago was the Bulls. Going into the playoffs with the one seed, they were predicted to do very well. All until the fall of their captain Derrick Rose, who tore his ACL in game one of their opening series. With little hope, the Bulls continued, but ended up losing Joakim Noah a few games later and eventually losing the series to the Sixers. 3 teams up, 3 teams down, as a Cub fan, I again will have to "wait till next year".
