Happy Anniversary- Blackhawks Winning the Stanley Cup!

Not much time to blog today, but remembering where I was a year ago today celebrating the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory!

Chicago will have to hand over the Cup soon- hopefully to Boston rather than the Canucks, but hopefully we can get it back next year!

A Truly Great Chicago Sports Night!

1. White Sox FINALLY win!
Apparently the line-up shake-up worked, or maybe it was just try for the bats to come out of their slumps, as the Sox scored 9 runs. More playing time for Vizquel! Can we get 2 in a row!
2. Bulls take a 3-0 lead over the Pacers. Again, the Pacers played a very physical hard-foul filled games. Lu stepped up as Luol Deng scores 21!
3. Blackhawks 5, Canucks 0! Lu did not step up in this game, as Luongo was pulled in the second period! 'Hawks are still down 3-2, but Game 6 is on Easter Sunday at the UC!!

The Blackhawks Have Some Life Left!

with K in the house (and Vince Vaughn), Luongo gets pulled out of the net and the Hawks win 7-2!

Avoid the sweep and back to Vancouver for another game.

Why the NHL Needs the Blackhawks To Win Tonight!

Blackhawks had 2nd most local TV viewership in NHL this season. Averaged 96,000 homes. Penguins 1st at 101,000.

Not exactly sure what those numbers represent other than the Blackhawks were #2. Last year's Stanley Cup run brought in the casual local hockey fans. Most of them were drop out as soon as the 'Hawks are eliminated this season.
