Die, Die my Darling

The reason the Chicago Blackhawks were able to send Antti Raanta away in a trade was because of the rise of Scott Darling. The Blackhawks decided that they were going to go with Scott Darling to back up Corey Crawford for the future and sent Raanta to the Rangers.

The story would continue as the Rangers and Blackhawks met on December 9, 2016. Antti Raanta would get the nod for the Rangers as would Scott Darling for the Blackhawks. He was back in the United Center in Chicago but he was walking into the visiting locker room.

Raanta finished the game stopping 26 of 26 shots and securing the 1-0 overtime win. With Raanta standing on his head against his former team makes this a memorable moment.
