BUFFALO, N.Y. — At long last, this Blackhawks season, one so disastrous, so embarrassing, so miserable, so drawn-out it felt like it would never end, has ended.
The Hawks closed the book on 2021-22 — a year begging to be forgotten that, for Kyle Beach’s sake, must never actually be — with a 3-2 overtime loss Friday against the Sabres, more than seven long months after it began.
