Double Hockey Night...

"Fans Celebrate Blackhawks' Stanley Cup Victory...In Very Different Ways"

Slush mentioned seeing a "radio station" at my local rink's bar. It ended up being WBEZ, the NPR station.

About half of my rec team showed up for a game that was rescheduled to start AFTER Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals was over. Unfortunately, it went into overtime and my game couldn't be delayed.

So the the 16 players began their own game but stopped about 10 minutes into it after hearing cheering in the bar and being banging the glass. Most of us (including the refs) skated over to see the replay and celebration. (I'm at the left edge of the photo with my arms in the air.) 

So it was a great night for hockey. The Chicago Blackhawks won, and so did my team, 10-5. :)

Slush said you were quite scrappy. You know we all enjoy watching you fight on the ice. It makes us all giggle with glee!

Congrats on the win, and Go Hawks!

I really wanted to elbow one guy as he trapped me against the glass in our zone.

Our team was playing when the Sharks got eliminated. Most of us were unsurprised at the result as we've gotten used to playing our game and ignoring the important ones since the Sharks ignore how they play in those too.

I was talking to another fan. But the Sharks need to get more help from their farm system and draft picks. They seem to be surviving on their older/ veteran players. Also the goaltending has to improve.
