We had so much fun doing our Countdown to Faceoff series last season that we decided to do it again. In case you’re new to the series, we’ll do a roster preview as we count down the days until the Chicago Blackhawks raise their 6th Stanley Cup Banner on October 7th season opener against the New York Rangers.
We are at the 79 day mark on our countdown to the Chicago Blackhawks 6th Stanley Cup Banner raising, and the third Stanley Cup Banner raising in the past 6 seasons. As is the case when we are in the 60 and 70’s of the countdown, there has never been a player to ever wear #79 in Chicago Blackhawks franchise history.
