Boy, is today going to be exciting.
The Chicago Blackhawks will be raising their sixth championship banner into the United Center rafters tonight ahead of their season-opening tilt against the New York Rangers. Meanwhile, approximately 462 miles away, the Chicago Cubs will experience their first postseason action in seven seasons when they face the Pittsburgh Pirates in a wild-card game to determine who moves on to the National League Division Series.
If you’re a fan of both of these clubs, as I am, your viewing loyalties will be seriously tested. And, if you’re a fan of both of these clubs, your nerves will certainly be put to the test.
