Dear Chicago Blackhawks …

More of this, please.

As we speak, Your Chicago Blackhawks are facing off against the Cannucks in Vancouver in the deciding game 7 of their first round playoff series – this after having been down 3-games-to-none to the ’Nucks just a few days ago. According to the Chicago Tribune:

Only eight teams in the history of the NHL have done what the Chicago Blackhawks already have done, clawing back from a three-games-to-nil series deficit to force a deciding Game 7.



At Rogers Arena on Tuesday night, they were trying to join an even more select crew, aiming to become just the fourth team to vanquish an opponent with four straight victories after that 3-0 deficit.

So, apparently, the odds are against them.

Just the same, I’d surely appreciate it if the Blackhawks’d pull it off. It’s not because I’m greedy; it’s because the last time the Blackhawks won Lord Stanley’s Cup prior to the 2009-2010 season was in 1961, the year before I was born. And I don’t want to have to wait 49 more years just to see another Cup.

So when I say I want “more of this,” what I really mean is I want more of this:

Your Chicago Blackhawks. One (more) Goal, baby.
