With three Stanley Cup championships during the 2010s, the Blackhawks were named the best NHL franchise of the decade Friday by NHL.com and NHL.com International staff members.
The Blackhawks ended their 49-year championship drought with Patrick Kane’s overtime goal in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final against the Flyers in Philadelphia. Chicago then won again in the lockout-shortened 2013 season when Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored two goals in a span of 17 seconds to defeat the Bruins in Game 6 in Boston.
