Lord Stanley's Cup...Chicago-bound




It's a little late, so I will post more on this later, but I am pretty excited for the Blackhawks. The 16-year old version of me who owned a cheap replica Blackhawks sweater (and hat) is especially happy.
As I am sure most know by now, the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on Wednesday night, beating the Philadelphia Flyers in OT on a goal by Patrick Kane, who initially seemed to be the only person to know he scored a goal. It was weird to watch, because he was starting to celebrate and no one seemed to know why. Once they declared a goal scored, the rest of the Blackhawks eventually joined in.
Anyway, the Blackhawks are the second biggest impediment to Wisconsin getting the NHL (the biggest being that Milwaukee is an oversaturated sports market). Milwaukee is considered to be Blackhawks territory...I think. I still believe this should be settled in this manner.
But, being that the Blackhawks are a team I used to follow as much as someone in a non-NHL state could in the early 90s, I have to congratulate them. And, yes, I am happy they won.
