Last night's Blackhawks-Bruins game went on for what semmed like forever. It was part way into the third overtime when the Hawks finally scored to win 4-3 in Game One of the Stanley Cup Championship Series. That was essentially two games worth of play and it didn't end until just short of midnight here in the Chicago area, CSDT. I feel very sorry for the Boston fans in that lousy ESDT.
We watched the regulation game and first overtime at Tommy's here in Spring Grove. This place really gets hopping for Hawks (and Bears) games with yelling, chanting and plenty of folks wearing Hawk gear. What they need to get is one of those airhorns, the flashing lights and the "Chelsea Dagger" song for all Blackhawk scores and victories (like they have at the Twisted Moose in McHenry).
We lost reception twice because of the storms coming through last night. At one time the flags at the banks across the road (US-12) were flying straight out and did the rain come down. No having to take the vehicle to the old car wash today.
Listening to Lin Braehmer on WXRT this morning, he said that the game ought to count as a double victory since the Hawks won and had almost played two complete games.
This game reminds me of the of the Hawk win Saturday to clinch the West Division Championship over the L.A. Clippers. which wasn't won until the second overtime period. What made it worse was that I was in Goldsboro, NC, so that was midnight as well because of the ESDT.
Looking forward to some great hockey these next 3-6 games. We have two great and evenly-matched teams. Even better, the Bruins and Blackhawks are two of the "Original" six NHL teams.
It Would be Nice If the Hawks Could Just Win in Regulaion Time, But If That Is What It Takes, So Be It.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
