This was “just another game” and “the streak” meant nothing. Yeah, right. There was no convincing anybody in Tuesday night's United Center crowd of 21,423 as they thoroughly ate up every up and down of the Blackhawks' 4-3 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks. “It's a remarkable start,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We're very happy and pleased. Guys should be proud of the achievement and where they're at, especially in a 48-game season.”
