Here’s the fourth entry of our 10-week Throwback Thursday series, counting down to the Hawks’ home opener on Thursday, October 5. Today, it’s the 2011-12 season and some Stanley Cup Playoff heroics from Brent Seabrook and Patrick Sharp.

They’re certainly not as indelible as the plays that have defined the last decade of Blackhawks’ hockey, but they were still magical enough to earn a “Remember when” or two when you’re sitting at the bar on a late summer evening counting down the days until the next NHL season.
