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 finally into the month of September, and our countdown is at 36 which makes today feel kind of good with the summer days dwindling down. At 36 we find a player that was a fan favorite, and the first player to every win two Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks and then face them in a regular season game later in his career.
