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 have reached the number 55 which was worn for quite some time by Eric Daze, but it was worn for the first Stanley Cup champion in 49 years when Ben Eager was a role player for the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks wearing #55.
