For Blackhawks, the numbers don't lie

I've always been a numbers guy. So much so that at 4 years old I'd create calendar after calendar with my crayons while sitting on the living room floor of our house in Buffalo Grove.

Must be in my DNA.

It's a big reason I pass along what many of the Blackhawks have accomplished - and what they still might accomplish - as each season ends.

For Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, it's a long list - and a more impressive one than last year.
