The1976–77Chicago Black Hawks season was the Hawks'51stseason in theNHL, and the club was coming off a 32–30–18 record in 1975–76, earning 82points, and finishing in first place in theSmythe Division. In the playoffs, the Black Hawks were quickly swept out in four games by theMontreal Canadiens in the NHL quarter-finals.[1]

During the off-season, the Hawks made a big free agent signing, as the club signed eight timeNorris Trophy winnerBobby Orr. Orr missed the majority of the 1975–76 due to a knee injury, as he was limited to ten games in his final season with theBoston Bruins. The team also namedKeith Magnuson to become a tri-captain, joiningStan Mikita andPit Martin in that role. The NHL also made a few changes, as theKansas City Scouts were relocated toDenver, Colorado, and renamed theColorado Rockies, while theCalifornia Seals moved toCleveland, Ohio, and were renamed theCleveland Barons.

The Black Hawks got off to a solid start to the season, as in the month of October, they had a 7–5–1 record, however, injuries took a toll on the team, and the Hawks fell into a slump. The Hawks went 3–14–4 in their next 21 games which cost longtime head coachBilly Reay his job. Reay had been with Chicago since 1963, and left the team with a record of 516-335-161 in his fourteen seasons with the club. He was replaced by recently retired Black Hawks defensemanBill White, who played with the team from 1969 to 1975. Under White, the Hawks played better hockey, as they went 13–12–5 in his first 30 games, however, the team would go on an eight-game losing streak, and find themselves battling theVancouver Canucks for the final playoff spot in theSmythe Division. The Hawks eventually finished the season with a 26–43–11 record, earning 63 points, and squeaked into the post-season. The 26 victories and 63 points was their fewest total since the team won 24 games and earned 55 points in 1957–58, while their 43 losses was their highest since losing 51 games in 1953–54.[2]

Offensively, the Black Hawks were led byIvan Boldirev, who had a team high 24 goals, 38 assists and 62 points.Darcy Rota tied Boldirev for the team lead in goals, as he also scored 24 times, while earning 46 points.Pit Martin had 17 goals and 53 points, whileStan Mikita had 19 goals and 49 points while appearing in only 57 games. On defense,Dick Redmond led the way, scoring 22 goals and 47 points, whilePhil Russell had 9 goals and 45 points from the blueline, along with a team high 233 penalty minutes.Bobby Orr, limited to only 20 games, earned 23 points, while posting a team best +6 rating.

In goal,Tony Esposito played the majority of the games, winning 25 games, while registering a GAA of 3.45, and earning two shutouts.[3]

The Hawks opened the playoffs in a best of three preliminary series against theNew York Islanders, who finished in second place in thePatrick Division with 106 points, which was 43 more than the Hawks. The series opened with two games atNassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York, and the Islanders made quick work of the Hawks in the first game, easily winning 5–2 to take the series lead. New York would then complete the two-game sweep, narrowly defeating the Hawks 2–1 in the second game, as Chicago was swept out of the playoffs for the second consecutive season. The Black Hawks were originally scheduled as the home team for the second game, but its home rinkChicago Stadium had already been booked that night for the second of threeLed Zeppelin concerts.[4]
