Old Tyme Hockey! Eddie Shore, puttin' on the foil!

I am more and more amazed at the dramatic turnaround of the Chicago Blackhawks organization.

First it was Jimmy Buffet and his Parrot-heads,

then it was The Police on their reunion tour,
and NOW, it's Cold Steel on Bricks and Ivy.
The puck-heads in the Chicago and Detroit offices of MB/KO are a-buzz with the upcoming outdoor match between the Hawks and Deadwings at Wrigley Field. People already asking about tickets (it's not even officially been announced yet) and trash-talking abounds.

The official announcement to come just prior to or at the opening of the first annual Blackhawks Fan Convention July 18-20th, 2008. I'm anxiously awaiting ticket information!

Here come the Hawks, the mighty Blackhawks. Skate the attack, yeah, we'll back you Blackhawks.
