As members of the Original Six, the Chicago Blackhawks had to give the group the tribute they deserve as Season No. 100 approaches.
Earlier, I talked about how cool that December 13th matchup would be against the Detroit Red Wings when the Blackhawks cap off honoring their time at Chicago Stadium. I also touched on how other capstone games will include tilts with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins.
Well, it almost makes everything full circle since, if you remember when the NHL and the Blackhawks released their schedule last month, their home opener will be against none other than the Montreal Canadiens, yet another Original Six team.
