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)

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

[@paulwt9783]

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.

[@brandonbroholm1830]

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

I remember watching the Toews and Kane era of the 2010s when I was young at that 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.

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

[@paulwt9783]

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.

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

New Jersey Devils Dallas Stars Pretty solid teams in the early 2000’s late 90’s

[@salamander0729]

You should have mentioned Hossa getting sick. He was key to the blackhawks, and without him we fell off and were no longer a playoff team.

[@Yambag]

Yeah an old school dynasty is three consecutive while a modern one is maybe 3 in 5

[@Tony-r7v]

When I think dynasties I think of the Canadiens, Islanders, Oilers. Hawks had a good run but I don’t think it should be called a dynasty. Heck if the Kings would have won in 2016 would you call them a dynasty?

[@Yambag]

@@Tony-r7v i just stated the criteria for a modern dynasty. I think you're smart enough to do the math and answer your own question

[@Tony-r7v]

@@Yambag that’s your definition of a dynasty. Teams have to win consecutive titles to be considered a dynasty. Don’t get me wrong when you talk the top teams ever in the NHL the Hawks are in the conversation but can’t define them as a dynasty.

[@Yambag]

@@Tony-r7v if it comes down to opinion and most people consider them a dynasty, then for all intents and purposes you are wrong.

Sorry man, but not mentioning Marián Hossa a single time is from my point of view disrespectful. There were 3 Slovaks playing in Hawks during that time. Tomáš Kopecký, Michal Handzuš and Marián Hoss the Boss. I can understand that Tomáš and Michal (you even mentioned Michal once in a video, Even you mentioned Zdeno Chára) was not that big building stone of Franchise, but Marián was free agent after 2 loses in Finals in 2 years, so lets be honest, probably the most experienced player in a roster, so definetely, he was not just a role player. This is not a hate, this is just a view of myself during 2010s. Every single morning I was looking through teletext in TV just to see if Chicago had won and who from Slovak players scored or assisted. No matter what, keep doing what you are doing now.

LOL Why I am using my nickname from 2015 xDDD

[@Bandanna-keyring-hardcore]

This era created so many bandwagon fans in my area lol. People who never watched hockey before and haven’t watched it since this dynasty ended
