Molly Tucker+FollowThe Chicago bus rule that stopped a Kane-Swift romancePatrick Kane almost had a storybook moment with Taylor Swift after a Blackhawks game in Nashville, but coach Denis Savard’s strict team bus rule put an end to it.

Looking back, it’s wild to think how a simple hockey rule might have changed pop culture history. Do you think strict team rules should always come before once-in-a-lifetime moments like this? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share
Martha Garza+FollowChicago Blackhawks games finally back on TVRemember when catching a Blackhawks home game from your couch was nearly impossible?

But for fans hoping to see immediate progress, it’s tough: GM Kyle Davidson didn’t land any big names in free agency, and the roster around Connor Bedard is still thin. While the future looks promising, it feels like another season of growing pains is ahead. What do you think—should the Hawks have done more to support Bedard now, or is patience the right move? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share
Molly Tucker+FollowWhen Crawford took matters into his own glovesCorey Crawford throwing punches at Robby Fabbri in the 2016 playoffs is still one of those wild Blackhawks moments you can’t forget. The Hawks were fighting to keep their dynasty alive against the Blues, and then—boom—Fabbri crashes into Crawford, and instead of waiting for a teammate, Crawford goes full enforcer himself. The refs handed out a pile of penalties, but somehow Fabbri got tagged for goalie interference, even though it looked like he was pushed! That gave the Hawks a power play and a goal, even if the Blues ended up taking the series. What’s your favorite unexpected playoff moment? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share
