Here’s the ninth entry of our 10-week Throwback Thursday series (only one left!), counting down to the Hawks’ home opener on Thursday, October 5.

It had been one hell of a three-year run for the Hawks: Stanley Cup victories in 2013 and 2015, sandwiched around a conference final defeat versus the Los Angeles Kings in 2014.
