The National Hockey League named Patrick Kane as one of their 100 All-Time Greatest Players List when the league celebrated its centennial season. Of course, the Chicago Blackhawks superstar is more than deserving of this NHL honor.

He has been absolutely unbelievable for a long time and deserves his respect as a player in this league.

Now that he is being traded to the New York Rangers, it is time to reminisce on what made him so great for so long while wearing a Chicago Blackhawks uniform.

It is hard to narrow it down but there are three moments in his NHL career that stick out as the three greatest of his Blackhawks career.

There is plenty of debate to be had with these but there is no doubt that they were all memorable nonetheless. These are the three greatest moments in Patrick Kane’s Blackhawks career:

1. 2010 Stanley Cup Final Game Six Winning Goal

Patrick Kane won the Stanley Cup for the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010.

In 2010, the Blackhawks were 49 years removed from their most recent Stanley Cup which was amongst the worst in the NHL. Certainly, they were the laughingstock of the Original Six.

That all changed when they drafted Patrick Kane first overall in 2007. From there he helped guide them to lots of championship success.

It started just a few years into Kane’s career when the Blackhawks were in overtime of the Stanley Cup Final. With the Philadelphia Flyers looking to force game seven, the Hawks were trying to finally win it all.

The rookie, Patrick Kane scored a very strange goal in overtime to win the Stanley Cup for Chicago. As you’ve heard by now, Kane was the only one in the building that knew it went in the net. It was the wildest goal you’ll ever see to end a season.
