Actually Speed I figured it was in because I was watching the Philadelphia goalie and after the shot he didn't move from his sprawled position and I think he knew it was over. It's a shame to admit it but I'm old enough to remeber when the Hawks won the last cup in '61, but I feel very glad I was able to watch a great player like Bobby Hull play and Stan Mikita. I still get goose bumps when I see the old films of Bobby take the puck down the ice and shoot with his very hard slap shot like nobody else. |
Another Hawks fan here. Lets hope the next cup does not take 49 years. My wife gets tickets occasionally and I make sure she always invites me. |

Unfortunately, I started watching hockey around '96. I can't even imagine what it would have been like watching Gretzky, Messier, Lemieux and all those great players back in the day. |

However, this year was clearly Chicago's year. They had a great team and worked really hard to win, so they definitely deserve it. My wife doesn't like watching hockey on TV, but we go once every year or so to Dallas when they play the Wings, and she really enjoys it. We used to have an ECHL team in Lafayette, LA: The Louisiana Icegators. After setting record after record in attendance, because of poor management it ended up fading and the team went away. I miss going to local games :( |
Someday try to come up to the United Center to watch Detroit play the Hawks it would be a once in a life time experience for you. Listening to the unbelievable roar of the crowd during the National Anthem is one of a kind in all of sports. It's a shame the Hawks play Detroit probably only twice a year at home since both were in the original six teams and those games are sold out as are all the games. Stub Hub seems to be the best way to get tickets here if you don't have season tickets. This is the second year now that the Hawks are broadcasting on T.V. all their games home and away which was never done before thanks to Rocky Wirtz the son of the owner that passed away a couple of years ago. The old man was known as "Dollar Bill" Wirtz because he was so cheap. It's amazing just a couple of years ago the Blackhawks franchise was voted the absolute worse run franchise in any sport and Rocky Wirtz turned that around in just a couple of years. Maybe I better stop my hockey babbling here the woman probably think they got on the wrong forum. |
One more fast thing Speed I go back to Gordie Howe and Alex DelVechio with Detroit. |
