Less than a decade ago, Chicago didnt care. The Blackhawks were losers, and the teams owner, Bill Wirtz, had alienated fans by blacking out home games on TV, based on the assumption that people would be more likely to buy tickets to see the action live if they couldnt see it anywhere else. Things
but for the second time. Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Denis Savard, JR( does Eig know who JR is?) these players and others consistently packed the Chicago Stadium for DECADES. Only the borderline criminal mismanagement by Bill Wirtz and Bob Pulford interrupted Chicago's love affair with the Blackhawks.
