If a hockey pundit had suggested prior to the start of the 2013 NHL season that the Chicago Blackhawks would get off to a hot start, many fans would have nodded their heads in agreement. After all, this was a team returning with just about every key component and, with a shortened training camp and no preseason to speak of, the Hawks had an advantage over other teams with more fluid rosters.
Still, no one could have predicted this record start to the season. A points streak has allowed the Hawks to jump out to a huge lead in their division and to a respectable gap in the conference standings. While the Blackhawks have been surging, Madhouse Enforcer has remained relatively quiet.
Until now.
