The Chicago Blackhawks are losing another member of their championship years. Andrew Shaw announced on Monday that he is retiring from the NHL.

Andrew Shaw was one of those missing pieces before 2013. In order to win the 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cups the team needed some intensity, and Shaw provided it. Shaw doesn’t have the most skill in the league or the most size, but with the game on the line with a minute to go there is no one else a team should want on the ice.
