Chicago: .317 last year, .417 so far this year.
San Jose: .287 last year, .167 so far this year.
Yeah, pretty damn early to claim any kind of success for either of them.
Chicago hasn't won a best-of-7 playoff round since their last Cup win in 2015. They've missed the playoffs in every season since 2017, except the Covid year when they squeaked into the qualifying round (12th in the conference) and knocked off the no-good Oilers to make the first round of actual playoffs – where they were curb-stomped by Vegas.
San Jose has missed the playoffs five straight years and appears to be worse than ever.
