As an aside..Comcast Sports Net carries the Bulls, Hawks, Cubs and Sox. The Hawks clincher over Vancouver was the most watched game involving ANY team in their history...that is pretty amazing.

I think it speaks volumes about the rest of the sports landscape in Chicago these days.

This includes the Sox winning the World Series, The Bulls taking the Celts to 7 games and two Cub Division winners

It's the old what have you done for me lately deal.

Sox is going to be 5 years removed from their championship this October, currently 6 games under .500 (understood still alot of basebalfl to be played)

Cubs 5 games under .500 and seem to have a ton of issuses

Bulls, can honestly say I haven't watched that much basketball in a while, but it just didn't seem like the Bulls generated that much as a buzz as far as being a sleeper team that could go deep into the playoffs. Besides, didn't they just fire their coach anyway?

I'm not saying they don't suck now, but there were some good teams in the past and that's why I was surprised to read about the ratings.
And yes, this is offically beat to death..(need an emicon for that)

The FlyGuys sure picked a HELL of a time to be playing their best ball of the year. Backs to the wall.

I still say, and many agree, that their best game of the series was game 3 when they lost 4-1. They outplayed them in every facet, except goaltending. Rask was standing on his head early on in the series, but looks pedestrian as of late.

Yeah, every team sucks besides the Hawks, and even those little bitches turn it into a drama flick.

Thanks Bob. It taken me a couple of decades to get over that one.

Old time hockey. Gotta love it.

Gils Gilbert was my most fav Bs goalie evar.

Looting makes Montreal merchants skittish about Habs playoff run

(Canadian Press) -- MONTREAL -- Downtown Montreal merchants
are having mixed feelings about their hometown hockey team's
second-round playoff win.
Some stores were looted in the aftermath of the Canadiens'
dramatic Game 7 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on
Wednesday night.
Among the hardest hit were a trendy clothing store and a
Foot Locker outlet.
Police say 41 people were arrested in all.
Now some merchants are worried about how rabble-rousers
will behave during the Canadiens' next playoff series.
"I'm very happy with what's happened with these guys (the
hockey players), because no one gave them a chance," said Jean-
Jacques Trudel, manager of an audio store near the site of the
looting.
"But our concern as merchants is another story."
At the same time, the improbable playoff run has been good
for businesses, especially for merchants selling Habs
paraphernalia.
Nour Nury, who manages a souvenir store not far from the
Bell Centre, says he has sold out T-shirts emblazoned with
goalie Jaroslav Halak's name.
He also notes that anything tied to Mike Cammalleri, who
had seven goals in the series against the Penguins, is
especially popular with women.
"The top players have been stepping up," he said. "The
merchandise that needs to be sold is getting sold."
