My buddy tended bar in Chicago last night, he was a big winner
I still give the edge to the coffee shops because it's a work day.
And by the way, while I fully understand that fans are always thrilled to hear their team's goal song no matter what it is, what did Chicago fans do to deserve to be pushed to the limit with that obnoxious music?

Good ratings for the game last night.

Nothing in the world obnoxious about Chelsea Dagger.
We Chicago fans LOVE it.
Its my ringtone in fact.
I love this video about the song as well.

As long as you guys like it, I couldn't stand it from whatever commercial it was that used to annoy me all the time.

The vast majority of Blackhawks fans love that song.
I agree. Overtime in the NHL playoffs and Stanley Cup finals is too much excitement. My wife has to tell me to sit down and stop blocking the television. I don't sit down, but I try not to block her view.
I hated the outcome, but that was an exciting game last night.

Just got tickets for game 5 in Chi.
Might have been a dumb idea, but I think I am going to make the trip!! (assuming we dont sweep, which I certainly have no expectation to happen).
So envious. I made game 1 in 2010 and it was something I'll never forget. I hope you get to see them hoist the Cup right there in the Madhouse.

There seems to be too much Blackhawk love here. Let me add some Bruin history for my favorite team. : )
The New England love for the Bruins is not new. If you lived in the Boston area in the late 1960s and early 1970s, you were fortunate to have witnessed Bobby Orr era. Wow!

In fairness, I admired the Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita era in Chicago Blackhawk history.
Here is a clip to bring back some memories.

Don't mean to imply the love for Boston is new, just that I think they are getting some of the 'undecided' vote in the contest right now. I've got all kinds of respect for all the O6 teams, I just want mine to win.

Sure some New Englanders had that, but others had THE BRASS BONANZA.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
All right, the Whalers! I remember they had some big names at times. Terrible Teddy Green and goalie Al Smith were there in the Boston days. Gordy Howe and Bobby Hull were there at some point but probably after they moved to Hartford.
