Chicago Blackhawks 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
The misery continued for the Chicago Blackhawks in 2024-25. Since their dynasty years of 2009-2017, which included playoff berths every season and three Stanley Cup championships, the Blackhawks have been out of the money in every full NHL season. Since 2020, Chicago has not posted a winning season. This year, Chicago improved by nine points over last year, but it was hardly a blip in comparison to the rest of the league. Chicago was never a serious playoff contender and finished dead last in the Central Division for the eighth consecutive season.

Chicago Blackhawks History
Few sports teams can match the rich history and tradition of the Chicago Blackhawks. Born in 1926 as an “Original Six” franchise, the Blackhawks have six Stanley Cup championships. Owner Rocky Wirtz, head coach Joel Quenneville, and star players such as Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and Patrick Kane won Stanley Cup titles in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Ironically, the Blackhawks had great teams in the late 1960s and early 1970s but could never finish. Stars such as Hall of Famers Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, and Tony Esposito were on those teams that made four Stanley Cup Final appearances and eight more semifinal runs from 1962-1974. Sadly, Esposito passed away in August 2021. He remains one of the most beloved athletes in Chicago sports history.
Following the greatest era in the storied history of this Original Six franchise, the Blackhawks have reached a new dark age that resembles the early 2000s when ESPN rated them as the worst franchise in team sports. It all came to a head in the fall of 2021 when the Kyle Beach sexual assault story broke. Beach was assaulted in 2010 by a team employee, and the Blackhawks tried to cover the incident up with the playoffs approaching. Chicago was forced to pay Beach a settlement and clean house.
Once upon a time, John McDonough was rated as the best team president in sports. General manager Stan Bowman and head coach Joel Quenneville were with McDonough for all three Stanley Cup championships. This trio built a team that led the NHL in attendance for over a decade. But because of the Kyle Beach incident, they are out of the NHL, and their former team is a shell of itself.
