Ryan & Mom's 1st Blackhawks Game

Some Phoenix Coyote fans came to town and wanted to experience hockey Chicago-style, so Grandpa took the entire family to a Blackhawks game. This was Mom & Ryan's first Blackhawks game! Little did we know that we'd get to experience history. 7 minutes into the game, the Calgary Flames had scored 5 goals (we were starting to wish that we had paid the extra $$ for easy out parking). But the Hawks went on a run, scoring 1 at the end of the first, 3 in the second and tied it up in the third. They clenched it in OT. The crowd was wild! [insert the Fratellis' Chelsea Dagger song here] ...not sure how to spell the Da-Da-Duh/ Da-Da-Duh that is now synonymous with the Hawks.

One of the many faceoffs we got to see. Our seats were behind the net, so you can see it in this shot.
