Bryan Bickell played in the playoffs during all three Stanley Cup runs by the Chicago Blackhawks, but his name didn’t get on the Stanley Cup for the 2010 championship.
Bickell made his mark in the 2013 Stanley Cup run, but I feel like fans forget that he was very solid in the 2012 playoff series against the Phoenix Coyotes including an overtime goal to win Game #2.
This of course was the beginning of the myth of playoff Bickell. Well, it really wasn’t a myth, because the player that Bickell was in the playoffs, a hard hitting power forward that could score wasn’t the same guy you watched game in and game out during the regular season.
