I missed the first two periods because of Tommy's graduation, but I got back in time to see the excitement.
For me, the gravity of the moment didn't sink in until Jeremy Roenick started to cry in the broadcast booth. He told that story about seeing a little kid in Chicago crying after the 1992 series, and he thought about that kid when the Hawks won. Roenick, who never publicly admitted what team he was rooting for until that moment, is a Chicago Blackhawk down to his very core.
I got a little verklempt.
Congratulations, Hawks!
