When it comes to the three Stanley Cup Championships won by our beloved Chicago Blackhawks in the past six years, 2013 has to be my favorite. I mean come ‘on you can’t beat two goals in 17 seconds, right? There isn’t a ‘Hawks fan around that still doesn’t get chills watching the last two minutes of that game.
However, this Blackhawks’ highlight reel is not without its bittersweetness. While Dave Bolland, scorer of 2013 Stanley Cup-winning goal, was understandably traded while his stock was high and the salary cap was low, now it looks like the other major component of 17 Seconds, Bryan Bickell, may have played his last game for a team whose history he has become an integral part.
