We had so much fun doing our Countdown to Faceoff series last season that we decided to do it again. In case you’re new to the series, we’ll do a roster preview as we count down the days until the Chicago Blackhawks raise their 6th Stanley Cup Banner on October 7th season opener against the New York Rangers.
We have officially reached the 2nd half of the countdown to opening night and we are starting out our talk about a player that is in the minors this season, a player that Patrick Kane beat in 2010 in overtime of Game #6 of the Stanley Cup Final, a player who’s career started in Chicago, a player that holds an obscure franchise record, and that players name is Michael Leighton.
