How it works
Fan Pulse is a quick read on how Blackhawks fans are feeling. Throughout the day we sample recent public fan posts about the Blackhawks on X and on Reddit’s r/hawks community.
We filter out bots, spam, promotions and media or team headline posts, so what’s left is fans talking. Each post is rated positive, negative or neutral, and posts that get more likes and reposts count a little more, but no single post can swing the result.
The result is a score from 0 to 100. 50 is neutral, higher means fans are feeling better and lower means they’re feeling worse. The score is smoothed over the last 24 hours so one hot take or one bad period doesn’t send it bouncing around. The trend arrow compares it with where it stood a day ago.
Keep in mind that Fan Pulse is a sampled read of fan mood. It’s not a poll or a scientific survey, and the people who post online aren’t a perfect stand-in for every fan. Treat it as a fun gauge of the conversation, not the final word.
