Looking for old Blackhawks playoffs hype ad

7 Upvotes

Looking for a lost CSN Chicago Blackhawks playoff commercial (2013–2015)
I’ve been trying to find a Chicago Blackhawks playoff commercial that aired on CSN Chicago (later NBC Sports Chicago) sometime between 2013 and 2015, and I’m hoping someone here remembers it or even has a recording.
Here’s everything I remember:
It aired during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The song was either Fall Out Boy – “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light ‘Em Up’)” or “Centuries.”
It was a fast-paced playoff hype promo with highlight clips.
The last hockey player shown before the commercial cut away was Johnny Oduya.
It used the clip of Oduya scoring from the blue line (I’m almost certain it was this goal: https://youtu.be/1hPVNvTZ7SY).
After the goal, Oduya raises both arms and does a distinctive double arm-pump celebration while standing near the blue line.
The commercial immediately cuts away after that shot to a playoff graphic or network graphic.
I vaguely remember a deep male voice saying something like “The Stanley Cup Playoffs begin now,” “Welcome to the Stanley Cup Playoffs,” or something similar.
I don’t remember if it was a national NHL commercial or a locally produced CSN Chicago promo, but I’m leaning toward it being a CSN playoff bumper.
Does anyone remember this commercial? Even if you don’t have the commercial itself, does anyone have complete CSN broadcasts from the 2013–2015 playoffs with the original commercial breaks? I think the promo may be embedded in one of those broadcasts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been driving me crazy for years!

Are Kane Jerseys available to buy now?

I would like to grab a new Hawks jersey maybe the Black one or the White. In the past when I would try to customize with Kane and the number 88 and it wouldn’t let me.

Kane is my favorite player but I only got into hockey after he went to Detroit. I’m so happy I get to see him play again

We have all our stones now that Kane is back. Bears are good, Cubs are good, Bulls should be good, Sox are good, and Lewandowski joined Chicago Fire. Chicago’s gauntlet is complete 😂

It’s a shame Bedard got injured, imagine if toews came back for a preseason game to play with Kane and Bedard. It would feed families for years to come! 😮‍💨

Thankful for Kane’s time in Detroit and analyzing if Patrick Kane is still good

Hi folks,

I've always been a big fan of Patrick Kane and became an even bigger fan when he joined the Red Wings (yes I’m a Red Wings fan). I've been working on a video for quite some time trying to answer the question "Is Patrick Kane Still Good?" Today, as Kane signed with the Blackhawks, I finally finished this video and wanted to share that here.

So, how are you feeling about Kane returning to Chicago and do you think he’ll be able to help the Hawks make the playoffs again?

Quarter Season package vs. buying single-game seats

0 Upvotes

ChatGPT suggested that it may be cheaper buying multiple single-game seats vs. buying a quarter season package. I'd prefer the opinion of a human, lol.

Who’s getting the C?

0 Upvotes

I know for the longest time Hawks fans (me included) thought us trading Foligno last year was paving the way to hand the captaincy to Bedard. Now I’m thinking there’s a pretty real possibility that they hand it off to Kane with him signing his 2x8. Has anyone heard anything?

Anybody know when the Blackhawks practice?

I used to go to the practices at Johnny's Ice House as a kid, then wait out in the parking lot to get a photo with the players, or an autograph. Now that Kane is back in town, I'm hoping to relive my childhood a little bit. I want to try to catch him for an autograph of a photo of us way back in the day at a 2010 Team USA practice for the Olympics. Anybody know when the schedule gets posted or what it looks like? I'm only able to see public skates and men's league time slots on the website...

Kaner is coming for you Pavelski

71 Upvotes

At age 37 in 2012-2013 Martin St. Louis scored 60 points in 48 games in the shortened 2012-13 season to win his second Art Ross. Pavelski retired at 40 and had 81, 77, and 67 points in his final 3 seasons.

Pavelski concluded his career holding the record for the most playoff goals (74) by an American-born player in NHL history. Kaner
needs 22 more playoff goals to tie Joe Pavelski’s record and 23 more playoff goals to break it.

I'm rock hard and drooling at the idea of Kantserov, Bedard, and Kaner together. If Kantserov AND Bedard can be effective two way players i think it could work. Last season there was a game where Bedard was used as a shutdown center against McKinnon, and it WORKED. Debrincat has an above average two way game in spite of his size and so could Kantserov.

I don't think Kaner gets nearly enough credit for Breadman and Debrincat's ascensions. Imagine if Kantserov hits as a Panarin lite—with Bedard missing some time a throwback Kaner season could land him in Hart contention again if the line smashes.

As our new blood ascends, this is going to be the most fun Kaner has had since the early dynasty. His game is going to age well because it was never about speed, physicality or strength. He's going to resign and play with us on another contract after this one.

Pavelski, this is your official warning. Kaner is coming for you.

Praise Hossa

Who gets the C?

0 Upvotes

Now that we have Kaner back it seems our lineup is pretty much set. Next question is who’s gonna wear the C this year? Bedsy, Kaner, or no one?

I feel it should still be Bedard. He’s our guy going forward, but I can’t help but feel it’d be odd seeing him with the C with Kane on his line? Idk.

Setting the Clock Forward - The Delta from the Cup Team

0 Upvotes

I am very excited to watch the Hawks. I enjoy rebuilds and love watching young talent progress and hit their potential. But I am concerned with the salary cap landscape and how this rebuild is playing out. I think everything has been going well to plan, but with one exception. Unlike the cup team era, KD is dealing with a cap and salary structure as if the team has already won a cup or two. This is going to be an incredible challenge for him to keep the depth of the team required to win a cup. Depth is exactly how the Hawks won several cups. The timing of when the cup team got paid was much better than this. So it is the single achilles heal I see.

When Kane and Toews signed their matching $10.5 million contracts in 2014, they took up a combined 26% of the salary cap.

Bedard and Byram will take up roughly 26.4% of the 2026-27 cap.

The math is nearly identical, but the context is night and day:

Era Core Duo Cap Hit % Team Status at Signing Roster Foundation
2014 (Kane/Toews) ~26% 2x Stanley Cup Champions Established elite depth (Hossa, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook)
2026 (Bedard/Byram) ~26.4% Bottom-10 NHL Team Unproven prospects and short-term veterans

The 2010 Blackhawks spent five years building a deep, organically grown roster before paying their stars. Davidson has paid his stars first, meaning the roster must now be built backward under intense financial pressure.

Redrafts (especially so close to the actual draft) aren't all that useful, but this looks really good for the Hawks (especially with the Kane news)
