After Blackhawks goaltender Scott Darling started his first NHL playoff game on Sunday, he and his family gathered for dinner at a downtown steakhouse that overlooks the Chicago River.
At a nearby table sat puckish teammate Andrew Shaw, who was only too happy to out his teammate to fellow diners as the unlikely hero of the Blackhawks' 4-2 win in Game 3 of their series against the Predators.
But other than that, Darling kept the dinner low key.
With a chance to celebrate what was the biggest athletic accomplishment of his life, he did not head to a bar or a club — and he certainly didn't have any alcoholic drinks with his dinner.
