You might think counting Stanley Cup wins is as simple as, well, counting. But fear not, mathletes! We're here to break it down Barney Stinson style (legendary high five!).

Hold on to Your Hockey Sticks, Folks! Here Comes the Fun Part
Here's where things get interesting. The Blackhawks have a long and storied history, bringing home the Stanley Cup a whopping six times throughout their existence. But how many of those glorious victories happened in the age of flip phones and low-rise jeans? Buckle up, because we're about to reveal the answer in all its shiny glory:
- Drumroll please... The Chicago Blackhawks have claimed an impressive three Stanley Cup Championships in the 21st century!
Three Cheers for the Threepeat! (and the Party)
That's right, folks. The Blackhawks reigned supreme in:
