The Eve of a Championship?
The City of Chicago doesn't possess a long of history of sports championships. It almost feels like most of Chicago's sports titles were won when U.S. Presidents wore powdered wigs. OK, they were won more recently than that time, but they still seem few and far between.Tomorrow night, the Chicago Blackhawks will face off in Philadelphia against the Flyers for Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. The Blackhawks lead the series 3-2. A win on Wednesday would bring the Stanley Cup back to Chicago for the first time since the 1960-1961 NHL season. If the Blackhawks can win, this will only be the fourth Stanley Cup championship in the franchise's history.
Here's a look back at the three championship teams (1934, 1938 and 1961).

Charlie has a problem...he has a hockey game scheduled for Friday night at 7:50, right down the street from the United Center. He's assuming they'll cancel the game--can't imagine any of the guys would show up to play when they are all such huge Hawks fans, not to mention how ridiculously hard it will be to navigate around the UC before, during and after the game, especially if we win!
