Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- One Darling Backup Gone

Let’s say this for Stan Bowman, he knows how to get the team stocked with back up goalies. The Hawks have had Antti Niemi, Ray Emery, Antti Raanta, and Scott Darling backing up the starters during this great era of Chicago Blackhawks hockey.

Cristobal Huet and Corey Crawford were the #1 starters during this era, and the backups were huge reasons why the Chicago Blackhawks were able to win 3 Stanley Cups since 2010. It started with Niemi who ended up replacing Huet as the #1 goalie and winning the first Stanley Cup since 1961.
