I dunno about 'all-time' but in the '13' PO's,it was this guy IMO...... www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-h46vxck4gwww.youtube.com/watch?v=F1cVmhPlmBMBolland's 3rd goal and 5th point of the SCF! The huge hit on Nyquist sprung Seabs for the 3-1 OT GWG.....LOL! 'Davey Boy' was good in '2010' too,chipping in 8/16 in 22 games and 17/43 +9 in 67 PO games for the Hawks while playing tenacious defense and being the ultimate pest. Three of those 17 PO goals came on the PP,three on the PK and three were GWG's! Hard to argue against the "rat". Not sure the Sedin twins liked him that much. I think Seab's to some degree was also underrated, both for what we brought on the ice but also in the dressing room. He might not have had a letter during the 3 cup wins, but he was by all accounts the vocal leader. In addition to the game 7 OT winner versus Detroit he also had two other OT winners (Preds in 2015, 3OT) and game 4 versus Boston in 2013. Hawks lose that game, and they are down 3-1. One of Bolland' best assets to the team was the effect he had on teammates,especially his linemates. Davey Boy had Kruger and Frolik 'up on the bit' all PO's,all three were fearless in the finals, against a team that could scare opponents. Bolland may have been gone in '15' but his influence wasn't,Kruger and Shawzie both learned a LOT from their time with him,ADJ was a nice complement when the three shut-down a RED HOT 'triplets line'......with the great Corey Crawford's help. If 'Davey Boy' woulda been healthier,he woulda had a longer and more offensively productive career IMO...........57/130 his last year @ London,91/215 his last two. |

Bolland would be my pick for most underrated Hawk - no question. Crawford is number two. Hjalmarsson is number three. Bob Murray is number four. I would switch Crawford and super Dave. CC never got much respect. |

CC never got much respect. Twenty-five goals allowed in twelve SCF games,only TEN in six SCF games against a red-hot Tampa squad that just chased both Price and the 'King'......LEGENDARY! NEVER got much respect is right my friend,this is a national article going into game 5 of the SCF back in '15' after allowing only nine in the first four games..... bleacherreport.com/articles/2492949-chicago-blackhawks-dont-need-superman-effort-out-of-corey-crawford-to-win-cup"Crawford doesn't need to be superman" to win two more and raise his second cup........really? The Hawks mustered four goals in those two games but won em both because "superman" stopped 56 0f 57 shots with a shut-out to clinch! |

This is the type of reporting and opinions that most likely will keep Crow out of the HOF, not fair and very disrespectfully. In the same article he quotes Toews (highly respectfully player in the league) that Crow should have won the Conn Smythe in 2013 over Kane and then says just needs to be average to win. Which is it? |

Even local writers would often find a way to pepper a positive article with some type of disrespectful 'house of blues' or 'Yotes PO series' reference and even 'Edzo' joined 'Doc' on their 'Crawford's glove' schtick back in game 5 of the '13' SCF on national TV.........even though Rask allowed more that game. The great Corey Crawford gave up three the rest of the way to win his first cup. I woulda got drunk and dropped F bombs too!LOL! |

I saw this "Walking tour of the streets" video from China and there was this girl wearing a Hawks sweater. |

Interesting family business! Hawks have had truly outstanding goaltenders over the years and Belfour was obviously one of them. Hopefully there is another one out there soon ready to join this elite group.

this is always a good sign.
it's like seeing the first robin in spring after a long winter.
28 days until the first exhibition game.

Should be interesting read particularly the finals disappointments with Pitt and then the Red Wings and then third luck the charm in 2010. |

wow! that's pretty much the last occupation i'd have picked for him for some reason. but he's a goalie...hard to figure them out. good for him to be doing something he likes. most aren't so lucky. |

He should team up with John Scott and become the next great comedy duo.....I can see them making it "BIG"! They'll be known as the Scotts-men |

i was hoping to find a video of him on YT doing his act. nothing yet but he does an interview on this podcast that's pretty interesting.
he is a complex and colorful cat...i'll give him that.
he also mentions NBC approached him for the color job on the hawks' broadcasts but he turned it down.
he was asked about his "proudest drunk moment" and he tells the story of helping that homeless guy in arizona by paying his hotel bill for a month (the one where president obama called him out at the whitehouse).
he went on to say that when obama called him out he was so nervous he almost threw up and had to "hold on to seabrook's pocket" to keep from falling over.
and speaking of throwing up, he regularly did so before games same as glenn hall.
i often wonder if scott darling wasn't on his game against nashville if we end up with just 2 cups? pretty good chance i reckon.

resurrected this almost 2 1/2 year old post because another p/o game popped up today on YT, 2013 game 5 red wings at chicago. thought i'd add it to the list as it was an incredibly important win in the '13 run. 37 days to go until the start of the season. if anyone needs a fix or 2 to get them there, you might find it here. edit: found game 6 and 7 of the detroit series as welll as a few others that are bolded. |

being there for games 6 and 7 vs the wangs in 2013 will always be a favorite live sports memory of mine, especially the "let's go 'hawks" ringing out as the wangs fans exited the building at the end of game 6 and the extreme rage then extreme joy of game 7...
