10. Kris Versteeg

We expect some heat for this, our only pick of current Cup winners. Toews has ice in his veins. Sharp has a dashing jawline and hair. There's the way Kaner dekes opponents out of their skates with his mouthpiece casually dangling from the corner of his mouth. But Kris Versteeg, who went away to the Panthers, a real NHL team in a swamp, and came back, locked in this spot in 2010, when he grabbed the mic at the Stanley Cup victory rally and rapped, "Every time I dive in my pool/ It's hard to be humble / When I do the breast stroke through an underground tunnel / And come up on the other side in a jacuzzi." Dude dropped an LMFAO lyric in front of 2 million fans. He has also crooned Fergie and Estelle on camera. Out of all the active Blackhawks, he's the one you want to take to the bar. Especially the karaoke bar.

As Andre 3000 asks in "Hey Ya!": "What's cooler than being cool?" The answer, of course, is "Ice cold!" We believe he was talking about hockey. From the mullets to the missing teeth, hockey players have always been the coolest professional athletes. Some of them, like Tim Horton, even have incredible doughnut franchises named after them. Our roster of the 10 coolest Blackhawks in history leans on the old timers. No wonder, those lucky bastards never had to skate around while Bush's "Machinehead" blared in the arena.

Who did we overlook? Leave your arguments in the comments below.
