The Chicago Blackhawks have been to the Stanley Cup playoffs seven times under coach Joel Quenneville. During that time, they’ve compiled 73 postseason wins. Very few of them came in the 2011 and 2012 playoff runs, which saw the Blackhawks suffer a pair of first-round exits.
Today, we’re looking at the latter playoff appearance, a very frustrating six games against the Phoenix Coyotes. Fans will remember goaltender and Emmy nominee Mike Smith essentially stealing this series, posting a .950 save percentage over six games. They’ll also remember a series that saw five overtime outings, of which the Blackhawks lost three.
