10 game winning streaks don’t come often. I think it’s just been us and Florida so far this year. And that’s with teams like Dallas and Washington in the league. This is an incredible feat. So let’s take a look at how we got here.

Happy New Year. Quite a good way to ring it in for the Blackhawks. Let’s get to it.

This is what should happen versus the Canucks. This is a complete game of hockey. We have three productive lines, and gone are the days of reliance on the second. Bryan Bickell is actually playing really well now too, so that’s good.
