After winning their game on Wednesday night, the Chicago Blackhawks have now made it through half of the season without losing a single game in regulation. That means, including last season, they have gotten a point (won or were tied at the end of regulation) in every regular season game since March 25, 2012. That’s a really long time. To show just how much time has passed, I’ve made a list that I like to call: Things That Were True the Last Time the Blackhawks Lost.
No one had heard of Gangnam Style, and the Harlem Shake was pretty much only done in Harlem.

Basically, it was a whole different world the last time the Blackhawks lost. Crazy, right? And they way they’re playing, who knows what new dance crazes, mind-melting drugs, or religious turmoil will come along before the Blackhawks lose again.
We want to hear from you. What are some things that have happened since the last time the Blackhawks didn’t get a point that are different now?
