1. Was hoping for a game 7 here.

Good series.

[neverforget]

2. Woo Hooo! Congratulations 'hawks!

[HughMoran]

3. Been a long time coming

Congrats!

(why does the hockey season end in June?)

[Barack_America]

4. Two words: Expansion teams.

That's why.

[HughMoran]

9. Yeah, I remember the 6 team original league, then the 12 team 'expansion'

That's when my Bruins won their last Stanley Cup.

[Barack_America]

11. Why California needs 3 teams and Florida 2 is beyond me.

Particularly when Canada only has 6.

[Barack_America]

5. And the Flyers fans boo throughout the entire presentation...

Typical.

[Withywindle]

6. Yeah, what's up with that?

Classy.

[Barack_America]

8. That's how Philly fans are in all sports.

And they wonder why, by and large, the sports Gods do not favor them.

[Chisox08]

13. Philly fans would boo a cure for cancer

[O is 44]

7. Congrats in deed, too bad they could not win it back

in Chicago in front of the home crowd!

[NeedleCast]

10. Yay!

That means hockey is finally over and will stop taking up time from good sports.

[paranoid floyd]

16. Ah, so you're a dick...nice.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. Ahhh so That's why my neighborhood is going nuts. Near Wrigley Field.

Helicopters and fireworks. At least I HOPE they are fireworks.

[Barack_America]

14. That would be why.

There's going to be a huge parade sometime soon too. You might check the paper if you want to avoid the route.

15. I never leave the house.

I work from home and I'm in the middle of tiling my bathroom. My boyfriend calls me Howard Hughes. :)

Maybe I'll mosey on over to Wrigley and help turn over a car or two. I almost got caught up in the first Bulls championship melee on Clark street. Luckily I was about 15 cars back and didn't get flipped.

[reggie the dog]

17. yeah, chicago is champion at something again

[DailyGrind51]

18. Hockey deserves more respect among Chicago sports!

Baseball, Basketball, and Football receive a lot more local respect, but yield poorer results compared with Hockey, the "poor step-child" of Chicago sports.

19. This Cup Size Fits Real Nice...

In 1971 I was at the second game of that Stanley Cup final...Hawks ended up losing to Montreal on STADIUM ice...broke my heart. Then Bobby Hull left town. Last night was total satisfaction. Congrats to Rocky Wirtz for turning around this once proud franchise and created an even better one.

Now to ignore a dreadful baseball season.
