The players have spoken: The Blackhawks are one of the most respected franchises in the league.
The NHL Players Association polled more than 500 players on a myriad of topics and released the results today.
The players voted Blackhawks fans as the best in the league. Over 30% of the votes went to Chicago followed by Nashville, Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg.
"How many fans we have I think is amazing," Connor Murphy said. "I've never seen a team on the road have so many fans in any building. I think everyone around the league sees that."
