Blackhawks in the playoffs? Chicago’s sports fans might as well rally around it

It’s a gift. We’ll take it.

Yes, I’m presuming to speak for the whole lot of us here, but how could anyone disagree?

Look, we’re taking it.

Because if we don’t get all geeked up for Saturday’s best-of-five opener between the Blackhawks and Oilers from the NHL bubble in Edmonton, Alberta, we might as well stay stuck on our last playoff game involving a Chicago team in one of the big four professional leagues.
