Today, we honor the best #33 as we are 33 days away from Hawkey season!! Did you guess correctly who the #39 was in the photo? It was a hard one!! The career summary below is brought to you by NBC Sports Chicago!

Before changing his number to 33 for the 2009-10 season, Byfuglien wore No. 52. At 6-foot-5, 260 lbs., Big Buff looked like a Bears linebacker on skates. He was originally drafted as a defenseman, but is mostly known for wreaking havoc as a forward during the 2010 Stanley Cup run when he lit the lamp 11 times and added five assists.
