The 2009–10
Chicago Blackhawks
season
is the club's 84th
season in the National Hockey League
(NHL). The season began on October 2, 2009; with a pair of games against the Florida Panthers
in Helsinki, Finland; and ended on June 9, 2010; when the Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers
, 4 games to 2, in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals
, giving the organization its first NHL championship since 1961 and fourth overall.The 2009-10 team are the first Blackhawks team to win their Division, Conference and the Stanley Cup in the same year.
and 4th in the Western Conference
. The Blackhawks' 46 wins were their most since winning 47 in the 1992–93 NHL season. The Blackhawks’ reached the 100-point mark for the first time since 1992–93 season and improved by 16 points over the past season when their 88-point total left them three points away of a playoff berth. They were the only NHL to improve on its record in each of the previous four seasons. The Blackhawks made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and it was their second playoff appearance in the previous 11 years. In the playoffs, the Blackhawks defeated the Calgary Flames
and the Vancouver Canucks
before losing to the Detroit Red Wings
in the Western Conference Finals
. It was the Blackhawks first appearance in the Western Conference Finals since 1995.
The Blackhawks, however, had a turbulent offseason. The Blackhawks saw assistant General Manager Rick Dudley
resign from his position and join the Atlanta Thrashers
as associate General Manager. On July 1, 2009, the Blackhawks made a significant acquisition to the team when they signed five-time all-star Marian Hossa
to a 12 year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks
worth $62.8 million. At the time, it was the most lucrative deal in team history. The signing of Hossa by the Blackhawks coincided with the departure of the team's leading scorer from the previous season, Martin Havlat
, to the Minnesota Wild
. Other key additions for the Blackhawks were John Madden and Tomáš Kopecký
. Along with Havlat, Nikolai Khabibulin
, Sammy Pahlsson, and Matt Walker were notable losses for the team.
Shortly after signing Hossa, the team disclosed that he was still rehabilitating a shoulder injury he sustained during the previous postseason. He underwent shoulder surgery and ended up missing the first 22 games of the season. During the offseason, The NHL Players' Association filed a grievance, saying that the Blackhawks missed the deadline for giving qualifying offers to restricted free agents. This caused Tallon to quickly sign eight players to make sure they didn't end up as unrestricted free agents. The mistake proved to be a large influence in the removing of Dale Tallon
as General Manager. He was replaced with Stan Bowman
, the assistant General Manager and son of Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman
. The NHL also investigated Hossa's contract as well. The Blackhawks named Kevin Cheveldayoff
, General Manager of the Chicago Wolves
of the American Hockey League
, as assistant General Manager. The team also promoted assistant coach Marc Bergevin
to the position of director of player personnel.
In August, the Blackhawks saw star player Patrick Kane
embroiled in controversy when he and his cousin were arrested in Buffalo, New York
. Kane was apprehended in the early morning hours after allegedly punching a cab driver when he claimed to not have proper change for their trip fare. Kane was charged with second-degree robbery, a Class C felony, and fourth-degree criminal mischief and theft-of-services, both of which were Class A misdemeanors. He pleaded not guilty. On August 17, Kane apologized for the arrest. Kane and his cousin appeared before a grand jury
on August 19. While they were cleared of any felony charges, the two were still indicted on misdemeanor assault, theft and harassment charges. Kane and his cousin reiterated their not guilty pleas when appearing in court the next day. On August 27, Kane and his cousin pleaded guilty to noncriminal disorderly conduct charges, and were both given conditional discharges.
The Blackhawks entered the 2009-10 NHL season with high expectations. Bob Duff of NBC Sports
predicted that the Blackhawks would finish with 101 points, finish 2nd in the division and be a 4th seed in the Western Conference. Jim Neveau of The Hockey Writer's wrote that the Blackhawks would win the division and be a 2nd seed in the conference.
