DAILY DOZEN: THE BLACKHAWKS

It seems like there are so many issues facing the world that the only topics to cover are problematic. But, every once in a while, something happy happens. The Chicago Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup is one of those happy events. It is even sweeter when the beat the Philadelphia Flyers, a team I was raised to hate (I was born a New York Ranger fan). Congratulations to the city of Chicago. After 49 years, Stanley's Back In Town!
