3. Blackhawks get over the hump

Before the Chicago Blackhawks built a modern NHL dynasty in the 2010s, they were a young team knocking on the door that still couldn’t get in. After finally ending a streak of five-consecutive seasons without reaching the playoffs in 2008-09, the Blackhawks were bounced in the Conference Finals by the Detroit Red Wings.

The following season, Chicago would get its revenge. In the 2009-10 Western Conference Semifinals, the Blackhawks got a rematch with Detroit — and this time, the up-and-coming team was ready for the moment.

The Blackhawks ousted the Red Wings in seven games, propelled by Brent Seabrook’s sudden-death-snipe and went on to win their first Stanley Cup since the 60s. This would become the first Cup in a span of five years for the Blackhawks, and signaled a changing of the guard in the league as they became the new top-dogs and the Red Wings slowly faded into rebuilder status.

Sure enough, Doc was right there with the call. Featuring a patented “Oh my,” after Gustav Nyquist was hammered by Dave Bolland, Doc quickly shifted back focus back to Seabrook who cut into the zone and wired a wrister past Jimmy Howard.

In a span of about five seconds, Doc goes from stunned observer on the Bolland hit, to ecstatic play-caller as his tenor voice screams of an extended “He scores!” It shows how quickly these events seem to snowball in hockey, as the goal is rarely if ever an isolated incident, but instead a progression of escalating events.
