The greatest Blackhawks in history — Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Glenn Hall — won all of one Stanley Cup in Chicago.
While playing, for the most part, in a six-team league.
The greatest of the modern day Blackhawks — Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith — have been part of three Stanley Cup championship teams in a 30-team league. And they’re not done yet. The Hawks are among the real contenders for the Cup again this year, and who knows how many titles this group will end up winning?
The Hull-Mikita-Hall Hawks, which also had Pierre Pilote, Kenny Wharram and for a short time Phil Esposito, won the Cup in 1961 but then lost to the eventual champion six times in seven years from 1965 to 1971.
