On Saturday night, the Chicago Blackhawks will put an exclamation point on the third “chapter” of their year-long Centennial celebration. The events focusing on “The Banner Years” before and during the game should stir up enough nostalgia for the most recent generation of Blackhawks fans to have their “I remember when” moments come flying out.
There were so many incredible moments during the Blackhawks’ dynasty run. But so many of them were authored — or co-authored — by guys who weren’t the faces of the franchise.
Yes, Marian Hossa scored the ear-shattering overtime game-winner against Nashville in 2010. But it was Brent Sopel who found him on the back door.
The iconic goals scored 17 seconds apart came off the sticks of Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland.
In 2015, Scott Darling came out of the bullpen to win three games and post a .936 save percentage in five appearances to help the Blackhawks survive and advance.
Acquiring Johnny Oduya might not have been popular when it happened, but holy cow was he ever the perfect fit on the blue line!
Young guys like Kris Versteeg, Marcus Kruger, Andrew Shaw, Brandon Saad and Nick Leddy played beyond their ages. Old guys like Brad Richards, Michal Rozsival, Michal Handzus and Antoine Vermette contributed big ways in big moments, too.
There were characters on those teams, too. Shaw and Dustin Byfiglien might be the most memorable for many Blackhawks fans. But guys like Adam Burish and, yes, Dan Carcillo came along and made you laugh along the way as well.
There were so many guys who weren’t in the core seven who won all three championships who made an impact.
Let’s dust off the memories. Fill up the comments with the guy who stands out from those golden years of Blackhawks hockey. What moment (maybe other than Buff knocking Chris Pronger into the next week) will you remember forever?
Who were your favorite role players on the dynasty teams? What huge moment was impacted by a guy who didn’t… drive a Chevy like Kane and Toews?
As a reminder, Shaw is having a meet and greet autograph event on Sunday at Sports N More in Lombard to raise money to help his brother, who’s battling ALS. You can order tickets for that at www.amsmg.com.
