One bright side to the Chicago Blackhawks organization has been the addition of Sam Lafferty, a twenty-seven year old forward who came from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Blackhawks acquired Lafferty in exchange for Alex Nylander, who is the brother of Toronto Maple Leafs William Nylander. Alex never panned out accordingly, and as time goes on the Blackhawks truly continue to look like winners of that transaction.
Lafferty brings a physical level to his game, and never shies away from getting into the gritty areas, as well as standing up for his teammates.
Last night the Blackhawks faced the defending cup champs, the Colorado Avalanche; and the matchup got quite heated, Sam Lafferty decided to stand up for himself and go full on WWE style on a Avalanche defensemen.
