The king is dead...long live the king.

Wirtz has passed. Now I do not wish death on anyone, may he rest in peace...but maybe now the blackhawks can finally get something going. Like maybe a winning season for once.

Hoping for the best.

Ah yes, "Dollar Bill" Wirtz. I believe he was what is called "a piece of work." I don't know much about hockey, but I do know he pretty much ran the Blackhawks into the ground.

Well, may he rest in peace, but this is seriously probably the best thing to happen to the Blackhawks since the early 90's. It's good, it was painful to see yet another great hockey town having hockey slowly drained from the city.

Soon we may see a filled United Center!
