The Blackhawks' streak

The Chicago Blackhawks are in the midst of one of the most impressive streaks in recent sports history, but we understand if you're not aware of it. This is hockey, after all, a sport that does its level best to turn off both hardcore and casual fans. But take a moment to appreciate Chicago's streak of games without a regulation or overtime loss – 24 games and counting to start the 2013 season – that actually extends all the way back to March, 2012. This kind of sustained excellence doesn't come along often in any sport.
