Like 2 hours ago i had a discussion with a buddy about the og 6 because of a lighter he had, and we couldnt even think of the blackhawks, and were surprised when we looked it up lmao
You should give more props to Hossa. He was so impactful throughout those years. The seabrook and Keith combo was also on the level of toews/makar today
Yea he set it up as only dynasty of the salary cap era then didn’t mention any moves they made like having to let go of players after 2010 cup or bickell illness after 2013 or the dynasty ending bc toews and seabrook regressing but on massive contracts
Completely agree Hossa deserves more credit and brought this team to a new level. Honestly Hossa is probably one of the best free agent signings across Chicago sports history with how much they won.
From 2002 to 2011 the Blackhawks drafted in order (most of whom played big parts on Stanley Cup Champions): Duncan Keith, Adam Burish, James Wisniewski, Brent Seabrook, Corey Crawford, Dustin Byfuglien, Dave Bolland Bryan Bickell, Troy Brouwer, Niklas Hjarlmarsson, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Ben Smith, Marcus Kruger, Philip Danault, Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw. Thats how you build the bulk of a roster.
Same here. Blackhawks dynasty Cubs world series run and just overall being really good for years Bulls with d-rose and Jimmy butler And the bears were... There Chicago sports 2009-2020 were fun
The core 7 that won all 3 cups were not just elite talents. They worked their asses off and set the tone for the rest of the team. That’s why 4 are HOFers, (Kane, Toews, Keith, Hossa), 2 fringe HOFers (Sharp, Seabrook), and the best defensive D-man of the Cap era. (Hjalmarsson)
also, altho bizarrely snubbed from getting his name on the Cup in 10, Bryan Bickell was also on all 3 Cup teams; played in the regular season and multiple playoff games for all 3 teams. You can see him on the bench celebrating during Kane's tying goal in the iconic Nashville game.
@@shhhhip52 Crawford was starting goalie for 2 Stanley Cup teams, won 2 Jennings trophies (fewest goals against), has the 11th best save % in league history, and a lot of really good numbers in general. Tom Barrasso is in w similar numbers as far as adjusted point shares, Jon Quick will get in. Crow will have a serious argument and will probably eventually get put in.
@@dalton7726 Yea the regular season only encompasses 80% of the hockey played. Modano didn't cover up rape, beat up cab drivers over 20¢ or have rape accusations. So I'll take that guy over the known scumbag. Also when did Kane captain a team? Oh that's right he was too much of a cancer to get the big C
@@dalton7726 and on ice performance is in favor of Modano bro has more goals, assists and points in the playoffs and regular season than Kaner. Only reason his stats don't look as "impressive" to you is he played until he was 40 something your butt buddy will fail to accomplish
The Blackhawks from 2009-2017 were the reason why I fell in love with hockey as a kid and were probably the greatest times of my life as a Chicago sports fan. And while I doubt we’ll be able to recreate what we accomplished back then with Bedard. I have a lot of hope for the future of this team
They were dominant in the clutch and calm in the clutch in a way that was almost comical. Even when they lost they tended to take a bite out of whomever - they weren't an easy out. I saw an image w game 6 records of all the teams from like 06-20, the Blackhawks were 15-1 in game 6. Even the best other teams were barely over 500. They were 15-1. 2011 they were the 8 seed, down 3-0 to the 1 seed eventual runner up Canucks, took it all the way to game 7 overtime. 2012, clutch late wins vs AZ then the all time cheap shot on Hossa took the heart out of them the end of that series. 2014 down 3-1 to LA in the WCF, Kane carried them to game 7 OT where they lost on a bad bounce and bad officiating. 2013 back from 3-1 down vs Det to win it, had the game winner taken away at the end of regulation, won in OT anyway; they were also down a goal in the 3rd period in game 6 on the road in that series, facing elimination. Won anyway. Down 2-1 to Boston, won the series 3 straight (multiple OT and comeback late wins). Down 2-1 to Tampa, won the series 3 straight, choked the life out of them. Tied 2-2 w Anaheim in 15 WCF, down 2 goals w a minute left in game 5, Toews scored twice to tie the game and send it to OT. Hawks LOST in OT to go down 3-2. STILL WON THE SERIES. Like where other teams would have been demoralized or folded, they very rarely did. 2016 down 3-1 to St Louis, forced game 7 and lost by 1, in the 3rd. 2013 WCF game 5, Kings tied right at the end of regulation. Hawks didn't care, won it in 2OT anyway to make the finals. 2010 Cup finals, Philly rallied from 2-0 down to make it a 2-2 series - Hawks didn't care, momentum meant nothing, they won 2 straight to end it. In game 6, Hawks think they're about to win the Cup, Philly ties it with 4 minutes left, has all momentum. Hawks don't care, win in OT. 2009 2nd round vs Vancouver, game 6, Hawks w a chance to clinch, they blow an early 3-1 lead, Vancouver goes up 4-3 in the 3rd. Hawks tie it like a minute later wo flinching. Vancouver then takes the lead again with 8 minutes left. Kane scores less than a minute later to tie it again. Toews scores less than a minute after that. Kane then puts them up 2 w a famous goal to end it. 2010 1st rd vs Nashville, game 5 of a 2-2 series, Hawks are down a goal and shorthanded w under a minute left, about to go to Nashville down 3-2. Kane ties it w 15 seconds left. They win in OT. 2013 stanley cup game 6, down a goal w 1 minute left, Boston expecting to go back to Chicago for game 7, Hawks score 2 in 17 seconds to win it. There has never been another team like this. Not just in the cap era either. Ever. There is dominance but dominance can be quite boring. The dynasty Hawks were never boring. They were always or often enough anyway facing legitimate peril. It never felt or looked easy or automatic. But they would almost always do it when it mattered, to a degree no other team has ever done it. My theory on this is that Patrick Kane is the main catalyst, I believe he's the most clutch player in hockey history and the calmest and most confident in big situations and I believe he infected his entire team. There had already also been clutch work from Toews prior to being drafted, so he had it. But it became the whole team. If you watched Detroit late last year btw you can see Kane infecting THAT team too. They started doing crazy clutch stuff, all kinds of guys not just Raymond. Being around a player like that and seeing how he is in the big moments just - instills it in others. Takes away the nerves and the fear that normally are involved. Or so the theory goes.
I like this analysis very much. It'll be hard for any team to give their fans a product that good ever again. Like you said, dominance can be boring. But the flavor of dominance those Blackhawks delivered was a level of sports entertainment that is unlikely to be reached again. I'd like to see your theory discussed on the relevant subreddits
They were never eliminated in less than 6 games aside from first making the playoffs in 2009 and last making the playoffs in 2017. They also never lost in the Semifinals, never in the Stanley Cup Finals, and only once in the WCF after Detroit.
As a Blackhawk’s fan I’d argue that 2013 was the greatest offense of all time. I’d consider the pens a dynasty with their 09, 16’ and 17’ trophy. Syd is a dynasty himself keeping that team solid for a decade and a half.
The 2013 Hawks may have been the best hawks team ever. That final was probably one of the few finals in the last 20 years that was actually the 2 best teams. That Bruins team was extremely good
@@tylerkochman1007 yes I completely agree with you, but injuries have hindered Letang and Malkins ice time. Those injuries have allowed us to see that Syd is capable of carrying without his costars
For as long as I live I’ll cherish the moments the Hawks won the city our Stanley cups. Celebrating with my family some who are here today and some aren’t. It makes me emotional because it was a such a happy time in my life. Truly amazing.
Please be joking. Cause if you're serious we need to institutionalize you. They were even top 5 in their own era. Malkin Crosby, Zetterberg Datsyuke, The Sedin twins, Bergeron Krejci, Kopitar Carter, McDavid Drai, OVI Backstrom. I can keep going but I hope you get the point
@@NicolaParise-h8c absolutely, I’m excited about Bedsy and the other prospects like Nazar , Moore, Levshunov , Vanecker, Boisvert and others, they will definitely be dominant again
This was a fun video. I loved reliving the three cups. The 2 goals in 17 seconds in 2013 has got to be my favorite moment due to the confusion around Kane's winner in 2010.
I sure miss those teams, but I'm grateful for the memories and will remember those championship teams forever. 2010 was a young talented team on fire, 2013 was the dominating veteran team that basically dominated everyone, and 2015 was the hard grinding team that turned it on in the playoffs. That Blackhawks Ducks series was something else, and it made me a coffee drinker lol.
This cup win hit home since my mom's uncle was the Blackhawks chief scout from 1992 to 2010 and won it with them. I still find it crazy to this day that i've been lucky enough to hold his stanley cup rings.
Didn’t talk about the transition from 2010-2013. The 2010 team hit a massive cap wall and had to get rid of so many players. The fact that they were able to put together an even better roster around the stars they kept and win again just a few years later is one of the greatest sports front office moves in history.
Not mentioning Hossa and the other 2 really good defenseman they had in Hjarlmasson and Seabrook is a disservice to those guys and all those GREAT trades they made at different points in their cup run. Trading for Sharp, Versteeg, and Ladd. Drafting Saad and Shaw. Then some of those midseason trades for like Oduya, Handzus, Frolik, and Vermette who all had huge moments. They played the 2015 playoffs with pretty much 4 defenseman, a 5th who played sparingly and a 6th who barely saw the ice.
I was at game 4 against SanJose.... I've never heard the UC that loud in my entire life....I miss good... great.... Blackhawks hockey , Marian Hossa getting that 5min major against Nashville and coming out of the box to hit the game winner caused a sensation to rush through my body and explode out in a myriad of profanity and cheering. God that was an amazing run, thank you for this video.... it brought back great memories
Thanks for this. I’m a Chicago sports fan, and hockey is admittedly the sport I pay the least attention to, but this run was magical and made me care about hockey for the first time. I watched every single game of the 2010 regular season and post season and I’ll never forget the feeling after they won the cup.
You can't forget the Islanders hold a North American pro sports record of 19 consecutive playoff victories, that is the best team by far, the NHL (based in Montreal at the time) had to change the playoff format to heavily favor the Oilers to stop the Isles from winning a 5th-straight Cup to officially tie the Canadiens' record, though the Habs had to win much less playoff rounds to win those 5
sports is entertainment. when it's that automatic it loses the entertainment. nobody ever really got tired of the dynasty Hawks, bc they were always incredibly dramatic, and would actually lose - but dramatically, and always after dramatically fighting their way back. and their wins were just as dramatic and did not feel quite inevitable, even if maybe they were - unlike the later Lightning whose 'clutchness' always felt inevitable and easy and contrived, like how top NCAA football teams never quite lose even when ostensibly threatened.
@@paulwt9783 It was dramatic for the Islanders every time, barely anyone expected them to win no matter how many cups they already won, regardless that has nothing to do with the Montreal-based NHL changing the playoff format to favor the opposing finalist
I'm not really a huge hockey fan but this was such an electric time in and around the city when it was happening. I remember many a crazy night at the bar and going absolutely nuts when they were dominating. Still not much of a hockey fan but subbed because I've watched a few of your videos and they're very well done. Keep it up!
Great Video. When The Miracle happened, 2 goals in only 17 seconds, I texted my buddy in Florida, who, as A Kid, was A Huge Terry O'Reilly Fan, while I was A Huge Tony O Esposito Fan (as our Jerseys showed, in playing Street Hockey in The Late 70s), Chicago! Chicago! Chicago! It was great winning at TD Garden, rather than us having to go back to Chicago for A Game 7.
@@HecticHockey Even though I like The Rangers a bit more, also, now, I'm still A Huge Chicago Blackhawks Fan (I'd even say that there's more of A Tie).
man i was so truly blessed to grow up watching this team. my dad had to wait the full 49 years as he was born just a few months after their 1961 cup win. that’s why i honestly can’t complain too much about their performance the past few years. it just feels ungrateful to complain when i literally got to come into this world and watch a team be great that just years prior was a dead franchise. they’ll be back on top someday.
I remember watching the Toews and Kane era of the 2010s when I was young at that time. It also got me into watching sports, Toews and Kane were my first two favorite sports athletes that I liked, and will always be my favorite Blackhawks players of all time. Man it was so fun to watch them play and bring three Stanley Cups to the Windy City in the 2010s during my childhood. It was so amazing! We had a great run! Also, bowman should’ve never traded Artemi Panarin to the Blue Jackets for Brandon Saad back in the summer of 2017, that’s when the dominos started to fall, they went on a downward spiral following that. If Bowman didn’t trade Panarin, we would’ve been a playoff team for at least 3-4 years and added 1 or 2 more cups to the 2010s dynasty. Hopefully the Bedard era will be like the Toews and Kane era. Go Hawks! ❤️🖤
My first year watching n my team got to win, nostalgia kicking in while hearing it and after they won I screamed the loudest I still ever had to this day
As a sharks fan who suffered through that 2010 sweep living in Chicago and watched all their subsequent cups after that living in the city, the trajectory the sharks are on is looking similar and I’m so excited.
My Grandpa and I used to watch the Hawks all the time together. The last time we ever did was when we lost to the Kings in the Western final in 2014. I was really bummed because he had cancer and I really wanted us to win the cup that year so he could see it. We ended up winning it the next year, but it was a little bitter sweet for me, personally.
As a lifelong die hard Kings fan my favorite series matchups were the Hawks V Kings when they played you know whoever won that series was likely to win the cup they were so intense and cut throat it was amazing
As a Minnesota fan im so glad this era is over. Those wild teams were a lot better than people gave them credit for, they just weren't the blackhawks. Hopefully we will have more matchups in the recent future, the Minnesota Chicago rivalry goes wwaaaayyyyy back
I was in a fortunate enough position growing up that our family business had a split of a box at the United Center from ‘98-‘10 and got to watch the truly dark times of the Hawks (and Bulls), but also get to see their emergence. I literally couldn’t give tickets away to Hawks games in a few of those years. But getting to be there for Toews, Kane, Keith, and Seabrook taking off, was truly amazing. We had the tickets if 2010 went to game 7, and I remember being in a bar in my hometown, and while I was ecstatic that Kane snuck that goal in to win the series in game 6, I was a touch disappointed that we weren’t going to be able to be in the building for game 7. But my god, were they awesome to watch. That building would be pure electricity when the nuclear line of Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, and whoever would be the 5th between Hossa/Sharp/Big Buff, because everyone knew that the play was ratcheted up and a goal was incoming. Dammit, it was the best.
As a Flyers fan I hated them in 2010 but there’s something about watching the young guns dominate early in their careers that makes it hard not to like.
If you haven't made one yet I'd love to see a video made by hectic about Ovechkins or The caps' playoff struggles throughout the Ovechkin-Era, all the way to the run that would go on to become the clubs first cup win🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
As a biased as Kings fan, I always saw the Hawks and Kings as similar company in those years. We literally traded cups for a while. I loved that Chicago team, even as a Kings fan tho. Electric to watch.
try canucks fan... ruined our chance at our cup. even when we beat them in 2011 they forced game 7 which we won but if we solved them in 5/6 I think we would of had more in the tank against boston.
Thanks, Max for bringing that up. While I'm a Hawks fan (form Makita-Hull era), Modano is the better all-around pUSA-born player over Kane. He had 29 SHG. Says a lot about his abilities other than goals & assists.
2010 OT cup winning goal. 2014 ot winner in conference finals against Kings, and 2015 SCF goal against TB. Patrick Kanes 3 most iconic goals. And great cellts on top of it to follow! 😎
Did a great job at covering up Kyle Beach and Brad Aldrich even wrote a letter of recommendation for him and he went on to do the same thing at a high school.
Such a fun era. My buddy and i text back and forth almost every game until his wife finally said, "why don't you guys just watch them together"? Duh. Still love the Hawks as i have since i statrted watching in jr high, over 30 years ago.
Niki the Hammer , the Saad father , Duncan teeth , soupy Campbell , Teuvo The Terrible , Big Buff , Crow , Brent Slowpel, god I miss watching that hockey
A Big reason the hawks were so dominant during the lockout season was because a majority of the key players were practing together throughout the lockout. Toews was hosting practices for hawks players and some others from around the nhl at the time
Loved this team, very rarely does a team do something like this. The 2013 team was the best of the bunch. If not for LA, they likely would have threepeated
I was in 10th grade win they won their first. I remember no one in school cared but me and my friends (NWI) by 2012 my senior year EVERYONE had hawks gear lol
One sure sign of a dynasty is when a significant portion of a league's fans start to dislike a team for "winning too much". This happened to the Blackhawks, much as it is currently going on with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Been watching and following hockey for over 20 years, and gotta say no team could control and dominate a game like the prime time Hawks. They’d put on a puck possession clinic. Also Kane favorite player, and funnest to watch. I know now u got McKinnon and McDavid, super fast, but NOBODY could manipulate a defense, do so lot with so little, either slowing down, stopping up, changing angles, delaying, like Kane could. He slowed the game down to the pace he wanted it
I never knew that Toews came back after being drafted (UND is what i mean) makes me even more happy to be from a mere hour Northwest of the Ralph Engelstad Arena
I think what the Lightning achieved for a decade is incredible, nearly winning three cups in a row, losing to the Hawks in the 2015 finals and nearly making the finals in 2016 but losing game 7
This was the greatest thing to happen to Blackhawks hockey but came with a dark side. Because our core players were so good (def and Offense) many of our 1st round picks didn't get the playtime their talent deserved. Thus they were traded to other teams. We had great minor league player development but no time to play them. (Salary cap didn't help either). I had season tickets to the Rockford Icehogs (AHL to Chicago) for 7 years. I saw the talent before they came to Chicago. I would say names but don't know how to spell many of them so won't try. Great times to be a Blackhawks fan.
Thumbs up from the uploader to every comment that doesn't mention Kyle Beach tells you everything you need to know about the 2010-2015 hawks. "It never happened."
Penguins won in 2009, a year before Chicago won their cup in 2010, plus they played in scf in 2008 on top of their consecutive cups in 2016 and 2017, that's 4 scf appearances in 9 years, also making playoffs each year from 2007 through 2022, so not sure what you mean by them being dominant for only 2 or 3 years
Patrick Kane is one of the best clutch players in history. He kind of embodies those Blackhawks, they aren't among the best teams of all-time but they played their best when it mattered.
Literally just served Patrick Kane at a restaurant and then went on my break and saw this haha
No way

The 2013 Hawks may have been the best hawks team ever. That final was probably one of the few finals in the last 20 years that was actually the 2 best teams. That Bruins team was extremely good
@@C4m4r0That year, the final four teams were the four previous cup champions, so winning2013 was that much sweeter.
Crosby, Letang, Malkin. Those three have been playing together record number of years
@@tylerkochman1007 yes I completely agree with you, but injuries have hindered Letang and Malkins ice time. Those injuries have allowed us to see that Syd is capable of carrying without his costars
For as long as I live I’ll cherish the moments the Hawks won the city our Stanley cups. Celebrating with my family some who are here today and some aren’t. It makes me emotional because it was a such a happy time in my life. Truly amazing.
There won’t be another era as good as the Kane and Toews era
Sid and Malkin
Hawks are gonna be a dominate team again. They drafted well this year again and Beddard is going to be a stud and superstar.
Please be joking. Cause if you're serious we need to institutionalize you. They were even top 5 in their own era. Malkin Crosby, Zetterberg Datsyuke, The Sedin twins, Bergeron Krejci, Kopitar Carter, McDavid Drai, OVI Backstrom. I can keep going but I hope you get the point
@@jackfoster3652 LOL 😂
@@NicolaParise-h8c absolutely, I’m excited about Bedsy and the other prospects like Nazar , Moore, Levshunov , Vanecker, Boisvert and others, they will definitely be dominant again
This was a fun video. I loved reliving the three cups. The 2 goals in 17 seconds in 2013 has got to be my favorite moment due to the confusion around Kane's winner in 2010.
As a Chicagoan, I miss those days
I sure miss those teams, but I'm grateful for the memories and will remember those championship teams forever. 2010 was a young talented team on fire, 2013 was the dominating veteran team that basically dominated everyone, and 2015 was the hard grinding team that turned it on in the playoffs. That Blackhawks Ducks series was something else, and it made me a coffee drinker lol.
I was 17-22 years old for their run.. went to every parade in Chicago.. man what a time
This cup win hit home since my mom's uncle was the Blackhawks chief scout from 1992 to 2010 and won it with them. I still find it crazy to this day that i've been lucky enough to hold his stanley cup rings.
Didn’t talk about the transition from 2010-2013. The 2010 team hit a massive cap wall and had to get rid of so many players. The fact that they were able to put together an even better roster around the stars they kept and win again just a few years later is one of the greatest sports front office moves in history.
Not mentioning Hossa and the other 2 really good defenseman they had in Hjarlmasson and Seabrook is a disservice to those guys and all those GREAT trades they made at different points in their cup run. Trading for Sharp, Versteeg, and Ladd. Drafting Saad and Shaw. Then some of those midseason trades for like Oduya, Handzus, Frolik, and Vermette who all had huge moments. They played the 2015 playoffs with pretty much 4 defenseman, a 5th who played sparingly and a 6th who barely saw the ice.
Yeah how can you skip over those three guys? They were core guys.
The most fun years of my life. Season tickets for 9 years with my best buddy.

This made me smile. Hope they surge back, maybe you'll get another decade of the same seats ;)
I was at game 4 against SanJose.... I've never heard the UC that loud in my entire life....I miss good... great.... Blackhawks hockey , Marian Hossa getting that 5min major against Nashville and coming out of the box to hit the game winner caused a sensation to rush through my body and explode out in a myriad of profanity and cheering. God that was an amazing run, thank you for this video.... it brought back great memories
Thanks for this. I’m a Chicago sports fan, and hockey is admittedly the sport I pay the least attention to, but this run was magical and made me care about hockey for the first time. I watched every single game of the 2010 regular season and post season and I’ll never forget the feeling after they won the cup.
You can't forget the Islanders hold a North American pro sports record of 19 consecutive playoff victories, that is the best team by far, the NHL (based in Montreal at the time) had to change the playoff format to heavily favor the Oilers to stop the Isles from winning a 5th-straight Cup to officially tie the Canadiens' record, though the Habs had to win much less playoff rounds to win those 5
sports is entertainment. when it's that automatic it loses the entertainment. nobody ever really got tired of the dynasty Hawks, bc they were always incredibly dramatic, and would actually lose - but dramatically, and always after dramatically fighting their way back. and their wins were just as dramatic and did not feel quite inevitable, even if maybe they were - unlike the later Lightning whose 'clutchness' always felt inevitable and easy and contrived, like how top NCAA football teams never quite lose even when ostensibly threatened.
@@paulwt9783 It was dramatic for the Islanders every time, barely anyone expected them to win no matter how many cups they already won, regardless that has nothing to do with the Montreal-based NHL changing the playoff format to favor the opposing finalist
i’m from chicago, great video man, captured all the electric moments i felt watching this team growing up
Living in Chicago as a lifelong hawks fan, these teams were the best! Fxn loved every second of this championship runs!
I’m so grateful being from Chicago and young seeing all 3 wins . These teams were insane and Q is a g .
This is so nostalgic, growing up in Chicagoland during this dynasty was incredible. Thanks for putting this out!
I watched every game during the dynasty run and was at game 2 of the 2010 Stanley cup final. It was an hour to watch them
I love the Blackhawks when they won the Stanley Cup since 2010-2013-2015 this video awesome
ur videos don’t get enough credit, you’re genuinely My favorite NHL youtuber right now keep it up brotha
Thank you!
Easily same
Him and Hockey Psychology are the best check him out too
I'm not really a huge hockey fan but this was such an electric time in and around the city when it was happening. I remember many a crazy night at the bar and going absolutely nuts when they were dominating. Still not much of a hockey fan but subbed because I've watched a few of your videos and they're very well done. Keep it up!
This was the team that got me to love hockey in general I use to hate hockey but after this team I’m in love with it till today 😊
Great Video. When The Miracle happened, 2 goals in only 17 seconds, I texted my buddy in Florida, who, as A Kid, was A Huge Terry O'Reilly Fan, while I was A Huge Tony O Esposito Fan (as our Jerseys showed, in playing Street Hockey in The Late 70s), Chicago! Chicago! Chicago! It was great winning at TD Garden, rather than us having to go back to Chicago for A Game 7.
Love stories like this
@@HecticHockey Thank You. He's, unfortunately, going through a lot with A Skin Thing. Thanks for the kind words & comment. Keep up the great work
@@HecticHockey Even though I like The Rangers a bit more, also, now, I'm still A Huge Chicago Blackhawks Fan (I'd even say that there's more of A Tie).
i miss this team. good times. i wish i was a little older in 2010 so i would remember it more.
What a time to be a Hockey fan. Especially in Chicago at that time. It took the city by surprise and it made the ride so much more special.
Never stop making videos man. They’re genuinely so good!
Thank you!
man i was so truly blessed to grow up watching this team. my dad had to wait the full 49 years as he was born just a few months after their 1961 cup win. that’s why i honestly can’t complain too much about their performance the past few years. it just feels ungrateful to complain when i literally got to come into this world and watch a team be great that just years prior was a dead franchise. they’ll be back on top someday.
Kinda wish you touched on game 7 of the 2015 western conference finals just a bit more. That was absolute domination by Chicago.
It was such a good run. I'm ready for the future!
I remember watching the Toews and Kane era of the 2010s when I was young at that time. It also got me into watching sports, Toews and Kane were my first two favorite sports athletes that I liked, and will always be my favorite Blackhawks players of all time. Man it was so fun to watch them play and bring three Stanley Cups to the Windy City in the 2010s during my childhood. It was so amazing! We had a great run! Also, bowman should’ve never traded Artemi Panarin to the Blue Jackets for Brandon Saad back in the summer of 2017, that’s when the dominos started to fall, they went on a downward spiral following that. If Bowman didn’t trade Panarin, we would’ve been a playoff team for at least 3-4 years and added 1 or 2 more cups to the 2010s dynasty. Hopefully the Bedard era will be like the Toews and Kane era. Go Hawks! ❤️🖤
As a MN wild fan I agree. Broke our hearts many times.
Excellent video sir
From Chicago it was a great time went to a bunch of playoff and final games . Heck I don’t even watch hockey and the hawks made me a fan
My first year watching n my team got to win, nostalgia kicking in while hearing it and after they won I screamed the loudest I still ever had to this day
I met my wife shortly before they did their cup run in 2015 so I will always associate that run with her. Showed her hockey for the first time.
Amazing video. Very intriguing and easy to watch. Really love it.
Let’s not forget Patrik Stefan was the reason the hawks got Patrick Kane lmao
I think he was the first pick, before the Canucks picked the Sedins, if i remember right
I will never forget that 2013 season!! Truly a special memory from my childhood🥹
As a sharks fan who suffered through that 2010 sweep living in Chicago and watched all their subsequent cups after that living in the city, the trajectory the sharks are on is looking similar and I’m so excited.
I’m a Bruins fan, but this team was the reason I love Hockey so much the Blackhawks were probably the coolest thing in sports from 2010 to 2015
9 June 2010, I was at game six when that phantom puck went in. Good times as a Hawks fan.
Can’t forget what happened to Kyle Beach during the 2010 run
Just making sure someone reminded this braindead uploader that these wins are all scars on the back of Kyle Beach.
Growing up with the blackhawks as hometown team was so inspirational seeing two kids just fucking ball was so cool
My Grandpa and I used to watch the Hawks all the time together. The last time we ever did was when we lost to the Kings in the Western final in 2014. I was really bummed because he had cancer and I really wanted us to win the cup that year so he could see it.
We ended up winning it the next year, but it was a little bitter sweet for me, personally.
I miss Pat Foley more than anything tbh
One of the GOATs
09 was a great team too.
Hey man, great video, great pace, super interesting and great cuts to highlights. Well done
As a lifelong die hard Kings fan my favorite series matchups were the Hawks V Kings when they played you know whoever won that series was likely to win the cup they were so intense and cut throat it was amazing
As a Minnesota fan im so glad this era is over. Those wild teams were a lot better than people gave them credit for, they just weren't the blackhawks. Hopefully we will have more matchups in the recent future, the Minnesota Chicago rivalry goes wwaaaayyyyy back
Blackhawks OWNED the 2010s
seems like yesterday i was watching the hawks crush the flyers for their first cup win in my lifetime, can't believe its been 14 years
lets go hawks man i miss the 2010s hawks
I was in a fortunate enough position growing up that our family business had a split of a box at the United Center from ‘98-‘10 and got to watch the truly dark times of the Hawks (and Bulls), but also get to see their emergence. I literally couldn’t give tickets away to Hawks games in a few of those years. But getting to be there for Toews, Kane, Keith, and Seabrook taking off, was truly amazing. We had the tickets if 2010 went to game 7, and I remember being in a bar in my hometown, and while I was ecstatic that Kane snuck that goal in to win the series in game 6, I was a touch disappointed that we weren’t going to be able to be in the building for game 7. But my god, were they awesome to watch. That building would be pure electricity when the nuclear line of Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, and whoever would be the 5th between Hossa/Sharp/Big Buff, because everyone knew that the play was ratcheted up and a goal was incoming. Dammit, it was the best.
I still get chills when I see Kane’s goal against the Flyers.
As a Flyers fan I hated them in 2010 but there’s something about watching the young guns dominate early in their careers that makes it hard not to like.
You did a fabulous job with this. 👌💯
13:19 that’s me holding the cup! claim to fame
Ha no way, that's awesome
Wow! I forgot how gorgeous Sarah Kustok was and still is.
If you haven't made one yet I'd love to see a video made by hectic about Ovechkins or The caps' playoff struggles throughout the Ovechkin-Era, all the way to the run that would go on to become the clubs first cup win🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
As a biased as Kings fan, I always saw the Hawks and Kings as similar company in those years.
We literally traded cups for a while.
I loved that Chicago team, even as a Kings fan tho. Electric to watch.
I hated the 2010's Hawks but I god damn respect them
As a wings fan, I couldn’t stand the Blackhawks in the 2010-14. But damn did I respect that team. So happy to have Kane in the winged wheel.
try canucks fan... ruined our chance at our cup. even when we beat them in 2011 they forced game 7 which we won but if we solved them in 5/6 I think we would of had more in the tank against boston.
Chicago won in 2015 roo
Those Minnesota Wild teams in 2014 and 2015 were very good but ran into the Blackhawks in peak form.
Game five against Nashville. Patrick Kane’s only shorthanded goal of his entire CAREER.
Wow that’s insane
@@HecticHockeyI Miss Jonathan Toews And Patrick Kane As Legends Who Won 3 Stanley Cups For The Blackhawks ❤️🖤 2010 2013 And 2015
Thanks, Max for bringing that up. While I'm a Hawks fan (form Makita-Hull era), Modano is the better all-around pUSA-born player over Kane. He had 29 SHG. Says a lot about his abilities other than goals & assists.
@@js60540not true
Kane has more stats
2010 OT cup winning goal. 2014 ot winner in conference finals against Kings, and 2015 SCF goal against TB. Patrick Kanes 3 most iconic goals. And great cellts on top of it to follow! 😎
Your TH-cam Channel Is The Greatest
Did a great job at covering up Kyle Beach and Brad Aldrich even wrote a letter of recommendation for him and he went on to do the same thing at a high school.
And at the same time, the Cubs won the World Series! That was a great time to be a Chicago fan.
Such a fun era. My buddy and i text back and forth almost every game until his wife finally said, "why don't you guys just watch them together"? Duh. Still love the Hawks as i have since i statrted watching in jr high, over 30 years ago.
I’ve been watching since Jeremy Roenick was on the Blackhawks and Eddie Belfort was goalie 😂
Niki the Hammer , the Saad father , Duncan teeth , soupy Campbell , Teuvo The Terrible , Big Buff , Crow , Brent Slowpel, god I miss watching that hockey
A Big reason the hawks were so dominant during the lockout season was because a majority of the key players were practing together throughout the lockout. Toews was hosting practices for hawks players and some others from around the nhl at the time
The Blackhawks were a juggernaut
Loved this team, very rarely does a team do something like this. The 2013 team was the best of the bunch. If not for LA, they likely would have threepeated
I was in 10th grade win they won their first. I remember no one in school cared but me and my friends (NWI) by 2012 my senior year EVERYONE had hawks gear lol
As a sharks fan i remember this team well 😔
One sure sign of a dynasty is when a significant portion of a league's fans start to dislike a team for "winning too much". This happened to the Blackhawks, much as it is currently going on with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Its pretty sad how far they’ve fell after their dynasty. This was certainly the teams prime and they might not ever get better than they were.
Been watching and following hockey for over 20 years, and gotta say no team could control and dominate a game like the prime time Hawks. They’d put on a puck possession clinic. Also Kane favorite player, and funnest to watch. I know now u got McKinnon and McDavid, super fast, but NOBODY could manipulate a defense, do so lot with so little, either slowing down, stopping up, changing angles, delaying, like Kane could. He slowed the game down to the pace he wanted it
I never knew that Toews came back after being drafted (UND is what i mean) makes me even more happy to be from a mere hour Northwest of the Ralph Engelstad Arena
Since it got mentioned, as a preds fan I’d love to see you make a video about the 2017 preds run
That could be good
Sharks 2016 run as well? They're similar so i just thought of that
I think what the Lightning achieved for a decade is incredible, nearly winning three cups in a row, losing to the Hawks in the 2015 finals and nearly making the finals in 2016 but losing game 7
Oilers were never a big market team, they just drafted well early on along with Gretzky being sold to them.
I was more going at the fact that their owner at the time was worth well over a billion dollars meaning that they could attract better players
@@HecticHockeythey literally sold the greatest player of all time. They weren’t and still are not a big market team
This was the greatest thing to happen to Blackhawks hockey but came with a dark side. Because our core players were so good (def and Offense) many of our 1st round picks didn't get the playtime their talent deserved. Thus they were traded to other teams. We had great minor league player development but no time to play them. (Salary cap didn't help either). I had season tickets to the Rockford Icehogs (AHL to Chicago) for 7 years. I saw the talent before they came to Chicago. I would say names but don't know how to spell many of them so won't try. Great times to be a Blackhawks fan.
Thumbs up from the uploader to every comment that doesn't mention Kyle Beach tells you everything you need to know about the 2010-2015 hawks. "It never happened."
Penguins won in 2009, a year before Chicago won their cup in 2010, plus they played in scf in 2008 on top of their consecutive cups in 2016 and 2017, that's 4 scf appearances in 9 years, also making playoffs each year from 2007 through 2022, so not sure what you mean by them being dominant for only 2 or 3 years
This was so much fun.
I dont understand how you only have 20K subs. Your videos are really well made
I appreciate that!
Patrick Kane is one of the best clutch players in history. He kind of embodies those Blackhawks, they aren't among the best teams of all-time but they played their best when it mattered.
