Thoughts as Chicago prepares for a rare chamce at a championship
* There has never been a Chicago pro named Annti. I knew one but she was married to my Uncle Joe.
* Have you met the guy hawking the cheaper than list prices for team merchandise? They always surface in the post season and hardly ever seem to get in trouble. I won't even jaywalk.
* Target, THE store for everything has NO Chicago Blackhawks stuff. None. They have an aisle of Cubs stuff and an aisle of Sox stuff (both look untouched) but not so much as a Hawks handkerchief. A store spokesman tells me it's a corporate decision. A Chicago team makes a championship run as often as Donald Trump laughs. This might be a good money making opportunity but wht do I know?

*If a Chicago athlete was going to get 7 teeth knocked out why couldn't it have been Milton Bradley?
* Even though you are a Hawks fan and you know his name,whenever you read it you pronounce it as it looks....Byfuglien. (It's pronounced "Buff-lin")
* The Hawks are 4 victories away from attracting a better class of woman to their limo.
*Patrick Kane was the cover boy for the video game NHL 10. The jinx is over.
* Has the death of a team owner ever propelled a team to these heights before?
*The Hawks coach looks like the kind of guy who'd get a visit by 3 ghosts.But can he coach!
* Hawks fans miss having the team voice,Pat Foley, describe the Cup Quest
* The problem apparently has been that to win, Chicago teams should NOT use a ball. That's where the trouble starts.
*Each member of the championship team gets to take the Cup home for awhile.I'd hate to be the teaqm mate who gets it after Patrick Kane.
* Under no other circumstances can I see myself saying the word "Stanley"
* I know the Flyers staged an historic comeback in one of their playoff rounds and the threat can't be trivialized but I'm sure the Hawks are not about to let us down.They do everything well,they are in the process of peaking and it's their time. For once, a local team cannot and should not be doubted. They will be Champs by Bastille Day.
