Greg Cullinan Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Just would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our board members from Chicago and/or Blackhawk fans for being the NHL Stanley Cup winners of 2010. Very well done and couldn't go to a more deserving city(well maybe Philly). Usually when a team I am routing for lose, or even while they are playing,even winning I despise the opposition but those feelings never came up for the Blackhawks cause they are a real class act, as is Chicago.They played hard and fair.True champions. Enjoy your year and good luck next year.
Greg Cullinan Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 That is awesome.One heck of a birthday present.
crazyjim Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 We rode our bicycles over to St. Mary of Celle Church in Berwyn, IL for Stan Mikita's wedding a long time ago (late 50s or early 60s). Stan's wife lived in Berwyn. We were able to meet Stash, Bobby Hull, Ed Hall, Mike Ditka, Bronco Horvath, Ed Litzinberger, and others. Somewhere I have the old library card with their signatures on it. My old hockey team used to rent Ridgeland Common ice rink in Oak Park, IL for practice/games and when the ice capades were at the Stadium, the Blackhawks would run their practice at Ridgeland Common. We would get to share the ice for a few minutes. Stash and the Golden Jet always made time to talk with us and give us pointers.
beefheart22 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Congrats to the Black Hawks, they put together a great team that worked hard to break their long long cup drought. If only the Cubs can break a much longer curse
ZIL 111V Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Nice to see an "Original Six" team win the cup, like Detroit(drought was long there too!), Hockey is a "Big thing" in Chi-Town, at least the cup was won in a city where Hockey matters & fans have been true followers/supporters for decades+++ BH jersey is still the best looking one after all those years!!! well deserved....Boston Bruins in near future
MikeMc Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Being a Cheesehead, not much from Chicago works for me ....BUT the hot dogs........AND THOSE HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry P. Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Official estimates of the crowd for today's downtown Hawks parade/rally/love fest: Between 2 and 3 MILLION! Yeah, Chicago loves its hockey!
