If you ever needed an excuse to get into hockey, today’s the day! At 2pm on NBC, the Chicago Blackhawks take on their heated rival the Detroit Red Wings for Game #1 of the Western Conference Finals. A contest between the Hawks and the Wings is like the St. Louis Cardinals going against the Chicago Cubs or the Chicago Bears battling it out with the Green Bay Packers or the Celtics being matched up with the Lakers. Heck, it’s the Ole Miss vs. Miss State of hockey! At least around here. During the regular season, the Hawks were 2 – 4 against the Wings but the last two wins came toward the end of the season. The winner of the series goes on to challenge either the Carolina Hurricanes or the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals. The last time the Hawks won the Cup was 48 years ago!
Hayden-I cannot wait until we get them in Chicago. I will be watching from the cabin and hope for several good fights-Love Dad
