Chicago Blackhawks win 3 Stanley Cups in 6 years – 2010, 2013 & 2015

The Islanders of the ’70s, the Oilers of the ’80s, and the Blackhawks of the 2010s. What do they all have in common? They’re dynasties. Debate this if you must, but winning three Stanley Cups in six seasons, in the salary cap era mind you, is amazing.

Along with the Penguins’ achievement of winning two in a row, the Blackhawks were able to win three in a six-year span. This would be pretty hard to not call them a dynasty, right? Players were moved constantly during this six-year span, but the organization, built around Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, and Corey Crawford, were able to put out competitive teams year in and year out. Just like Rutherford in Pittsburgh, Stan Bowman was able to find talent to play with its core and achieve ultimate success.
