I was 12 listening to the Hawks lose to Montreal in '73. (I got autographs from the Canadiens at the airport because I was too young to "hate" them.)
The first game I saw live, the Hawks lost to the Islanders NINE-zip!
I have watched, attended, listened through "Baaaannnnnerman!", Eddie the Eagle and others.
I recall Pat Foley calling Savard's twirling puck handling... "Savoir Faire is everywhere!"
Amonte, Chelios, Roenick....many good players over the years and some very good teams, then a long dry spell.
But THIS team....THIS team is SPECIAL.
Wire to wire. Best start ever to an NHL season, and arguably the best finish.
Wow!
