Re: BlackHawks!
Great victory for the Blackhawks! I originally said it was going to be a 7-game series, and with a couple minutes to go in Game 6, I thought it would be. Great finish! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
We laughed so hard when we heard Shaw yelling "F'in A!!!" over and over again. On the last utterance of that phrase, they finally turned the microphones down. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
For those not living around here, and maybe aren't familiar with the Blackhawks organization, it really sucked trying to follow the Blackhawks when Bill Wirtz was President. Known as "Dollar Bill" Wirtz, he forbid Blackhawks home games to be shown on TV unless they were picked up by national broadcasters, which only happened when the Blackhawks made the playoffs. He was disliked by all the fans, and over the years, he was responsible for letting some great players go, including Dennis Savard, Ed Belfour, and even as far back as Booby Hull and Phil Esposito.
When he passed away in 2007, the torch was passed to his son Peter, then later to Rocky Wirtz. Things have been fantastic ever since. Policy change, and Blackhawk games were aired on TV for the fans. Since then, we've captured two Stanley Cups since 2010. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
