Hawks Win! Hawks Win! Hawks Win!

So far the highlight of my year...only improved upon if the White Sox or Cubs make the World Series (dream on) or a Republican takeover of Congress in November.

I've noticed this around this forum. Why do some people insist on dragging politics into here. That's a clear cut statement, that has nothing to do with sports or game used.

In general people look to argue on here alot although it has gotten much better since the moderating committee came in and nothing stirs up an argument like politics. Although i am not saying that in this case that was Dave's intent at all. I am speaking in general.

Not an attempt at starting a scrum...just a truthful statement. I won't rip officeholders or candidates I disapprove of any more, in deference to this mindset, but if something is a heartfelt belief of mine, at least in a general sense, I will not hide who I am.

To look at it another way, how much difference is what I wrote from members who make reference to sexual escapades, real or (generally) imagined. That's hardly game used, either (although I guess it could be considered sport). I don't exactly enjoy those, but I'm not gonna post a complaint every time I see one. Lighten up, people!!

It's fine to express how you feel about politics, this just isn't the place.

Micah:

I guess we agree to disagree.

With that said, let's return this thread to its intended purpose...the Blackhawks taking home the Cup for the first time in 49 years. The Cup (and the team) visited the Cubs home field for last night's Cubs/White Sox game...the first time the home team brought the trophy to Wrigley Field, but not the first time the Cup was brought to the immediate area. A few years ago, when Detroit won the Cup, Chris Chelios brought it to a rooftop or similar type of party across the street from the bleachers.
