It sure was a slap-shot in the face to learn that the Red Wings are moving to the Eastern Conference next season.
We’ve really enjoyed the rivalry around here. After all, Billy Goat Tavern is the ORIGINAL Blackhawks bar. We opened directly across the street from the Chicago Stadium in 1934, the same year that the Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup (against none other than the Red Wings).
2013 was extra satisfying chapter in the rivalry – beating Detroit in Game 7 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals after being down 3 games to 1. A fitting send off to the Red Wings. GO HAWKS!
Here’s a couple of pictures from our Game 7 Grilled Octopus Tailgate Party!
