Blackhawks won the 1st of their 3 recent cups.

Matt Tkachuk's father was still playing in the league.

Darryl Sutter was still the Flames GM.

The Atlanta Thrashers were still a team.


Seems far doesn't it?
I believe this was a time when the Tampa Bay Lightning signed Steven Stamkos to his last contract with the team before he'd use his UFA freedom to sign with his hometown Leafs or nearby Red Wings.
