One day to go. In one day—in fact—in 23 hours, game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals will be underway. The Chicago Blackhawks will look to close it out against Pronger and the boys. Who has the edge? Who knows, but I did learn today that both Lovie Smith (Chicago Bears) and Tony La Russa (St. Louis Cardinals) called Joel Quinneville to wish him good luck. REALLY? Tony La Russa? That’s like saying that the Cubs Northsiders like the Sox Southsiders! Crazy times, indeed.
Interestingly enough, it definitely seems that baseball has taken a back seat in this city. The cross-town classic is this weekend, but the people of Chicagoland can’t look past June 9th. The city has united in a cause. The pictures speak for themselves.
Take a look at these buildings!

I mean…wow! Only in Chicago!
It’s not just the buildings. People all over the city are donning their Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup T-Shirts everywhere. The GAFY.com tees are not only popular and clever, but they come in an amazing array of styles and colors. Something for everyone, indeed. Whether you want a Blackhawks Hockey Shirt or an Old Blackhawks Logo Shirt, you’re bound to find something for that special person in your life!
Back to the pre-game! Shannon Ryan said it best, “The Blackhawks will settle for the immediate over the ideal.” She, of course, is referring to the desire to cap it off on home ice. It still could happen, but if the Chicago Blackhawks do win the Stanley Cup on home ice, it would mean that they lost tomorrow and everyone who purchased Stanley Cup Champions Tees would be a bit early on the trigger. Indeed, because in that scenario, the Philadelphia flyers win tomorrow and bring the series to a 3-3 tie. It wouldn’t come as a major surprise. So far, every game has been won on home ice. We’ll have to wait to see what happens.
“Winning at home would be icing on the cake,” captain Jonathan Don’t Toews Me Bro Toews said Tuesday. “But really it doesn’t matter to us. We want it more than anything. Whether it’s on the road or at home, to us it doesn’t matter. We know we have to be better in this building especially.” Anyone and everyone in Chicago agrees. Let’s just get it over with and bring home the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961. It’s better than waiting over 100 years for a Cubs World Series championship!
Whatever comes first, you’ll always have the ability to purchase Chicago Blackhawks tees at www.GAFY.com. Get your cool t-shirts now while supplies last.
Oh…one more thing! Apparently, GAFY.com is about to come out with a One Goal T-shirt. How cool will that be? A One Goal Tee that essentially says, “Mission Accomplished!”
