He may blend in as one of the Tampa Bay Lightning's assistant coaches, but when the name Steve 'Stumpy' Thomas is heard by Blackhawks fans, heads turn. He played more than 1,200 games for five teams during his NHL career, which included 7 years in Chicago.
Now, in the Stanley Cup Final for the second time - his first as a coach - Thomas looked back at his time in the Windy City.
"I had the opportunity to play in the Old Stadium, and I had the opportunity to play in the United Center, so we had some good teams," Thomas told CSN Chicago last week in Tampa Bay.
