Unfortunately, Conacher was not blessed with a lot of talent around him, and he never played a playoff game for the Chicago team.
Still, Roy Conacher had a promising career, and he would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998.
38. Roy Conacher
Roy Conacher was already a two-time Stanley Cup Champion (with Boston) and a World War II veteran before he arrived at the Blackhawks in his early 30s, and while it would have been a reasonable assumption for most fans and pundits to think that his best seasons were behind him. That wasn’t the case as he would still be a productive player and would put forth his best season in the 1948/49 campaign, where he was a First Team All Star, the Art Ross Trophy winner, and the leader in Power Play and Game-Winning Goals. He would follow that up with two more 50 Point seasons.
