Why we should have seen Bryan Bickell's strong 2013 postseason coming

Maybe we should have seen former Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell's remarkable 2013 postseason campaign coming. Prior to putting himself in the Conn Smythe discussion with 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 23 Stanley Cup playoff games that year and helping give Blackhawks fans 17 seconds they'll never forget, Bickell played playoff hero in the first game of the 2013 postseason.

At the United Center on April 30, 2013 the Hawks were tied 1-1 off a second-period power-play goal from Marian Hossa in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals, which is being re-aired Monday on NBC Sports Chicago at 4 p.
