In the 2007-08 NHL season, there was a newfound sense of hope surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks for the first time since the early 90s. Two promising rookies in Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane joined the team and immediately left their mark. The team missed the playoffs that year, but Blackhawks fans were about to witness the best decade of hockey in Chicago’s long history.
A decade that saw the Blackhawks make the conference finals five times, winning three times, also saw them bring home three championships. The era has had memorable moments such as a 24-game point streak that revitalized hockey not only in Chicago, but in the United States as well coming off a disastrous lockout.
