CHICAGO — At the table to my left in a suburban Chicago restaurant, three older guys discuss whether the Blackhawks are a dynasty.
At the table to my right, a mom and dad tell their three young children, who actually seem partly interested, about how dominant Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls of the 90s were. It's a pretty good bet that conversation started with the Blackhawks, too.
It's unavoidably the talk of the town—and the sports world—right now. What is a dynasty? What is not?
We know the Bulls were. They won six titles in eight years, ending in 1998.
