No, not the ones in your underwear. It’s Blackjack time baby. 21. The point streak continues. The Blackhawks lost again, but the Patrick Kane point streak is alive and well. Yeah!
Well it ain’t good they’re losing, but we know they’ll be fine. It’s the Blackhawks for God’s sake. We’re a dynasty. We’re invincible. The new line of Patrick Kane and the Russians is just plain awesome. This current streak he’s on, the one where he just tied Bobby Hull for the most games in a row with a point, is very impressive. Did I ever tell you my Bobby Hull story?
I used to be a bus boy at this Italian restaurant. I met some famous people in there including George Wendt, Dennis Farina, Carlton Fisk, Stan Mikita, and yes, the Golden Jet. Great guy. First time I walk up to his table with a glass of water, he gives me a 20. I remember shaking his hand when he was leaving; his hands were like twice as thick as a normal hand. Maybe it’s because I was only 16, 17 years old, but that sticks in my head. That and all the scars on his face; then I think of that famous picture where the blood was running down his face. A legend for sure. He now shares his streak with 88.
There are other streaks that come to mind, like the one from 2013. That may have been my favorite. 24 straight games with at least a point. The Blackhawks were at their finest to start that shortened season. As the streak went on, you knew how special that team was. You just knew they would win it all. It almost didn’t happen, but a comeback win against those Wings propelled us to complete the Cup run.

Another one that comes to mind, since we just celebrated another rookie of the year, was Jerome Walton’s 30 game hitting streak in his rookie season of 1989. It never did get close to Pete Rose’s NL record of 44 games, and DiMaggio’s streak of 56 which may never be touched, but it was fun while it lasted.
More recently is the 20 game winning streak to start the season that the Warriors are enjoying. And as I was sitting in the 300 level at the Bulls game the other night, and I looked at all those banners, specifically the 1996 one with the 72 flying below it, I hope for the Warriors streak to be over. Even though there will never be a better team than those Bulls, I don’t want anyone to win more regular season games than them. Like I rooted for the Patriots to go down that year they finished 16-0…and they did go down.
Back to streaks that will never be broken is the one that Kane is still chasing. The 51 game streak of Gretzky may never be touched, although that is one I’d like to see fall. That is one I’d like 88 to catch and pass. It’d be nice if the Hawks could win some of these games too… Go Kaner and Go Hawks!
