Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

What With DaHawks Rolling: "Chelsea Dagger"-- Part 1

This is probably the kiss of death which will cause the first regular time loss, but I came across this entry material in my notebook, written back in 2010 when the Black Hawks won the Stanley Cup.

From Wikipedia.

The song they played after every goal was "Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratelli's.  I'd never heard it before then, but quickly grew to really like it.  The song is played after Black Hawk goals.  I liked the one Vancouver player, who after they were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by the Hawks, was asked what he thought about the song, well, refrain.  He said, "That song, I hate it."

I remember looking all over for it, but being unable to find a copy.  For some reason, every store around Chicago was sold out.  We were on a drive to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri and the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, Missouri, before hooking up with the Illinois Route 66 Motor Tour, when I finally found it in a used CD store in Jefferson City, Missouri. 

Played it the rest of that day, which proved to be when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup.  Watched the game in several lake of the Ozarks places.  The locals could have cared less since their hockey team wasn't in it, but, we were heard and did a lot of "Chelsea Dagger" for their benefit.

More to Come.  --RoadDog
