Once they turned the corner from a less than stellar run throughout the 1980s, the Chicago Blackhawks were anticipating a more successful 10-year outlook between 1990-1999. They had stars that were becoming veterans with this team, along with up and comers who were quickly making their mark.
This combination proved to be a perfect mix of unbridled talent, helping lead them into the 1992 Stanley Cup Final. Unfortunately, they would be swept by a powerhouse Pittsburgh Penguins team, captained by Mario Lemieux with a slew of superstars around him.
They never would get back to the Cup final throughout the 90s, but their star power couldn’t be ignored.
