What a season! Back in November we were telling the NHL that the lockout was a slap-shot in the face. For 119 days, we didn’t even know if we were going to have a season, and now we have THE CUP! We’d say it was worth the wait.

We knew it was going to be a special season since the beginning. Their 24-0 start frequently sent Sam on GOAL PATROL.

 The playoffs brought many pregame cheezborgers and post-game celebrations. We bid farewell to the Red Wings in an amazing series. We like to think our Game 7 Octopus grilling brought the Hawks a little luck.

There was no better place to celebrate an original 6 Stanley Cup Finals than at The GOAT – the original Blackhawks bar. We’ve been serving fans since 1934. It was the ideal place to watch the Hawks leave the Bruins in Ruins.

Congratulations Blackhawks on an incredible 2013 season! Next time let’s see if we can win one wearing the home red jerseys!
