Dear Chicago Blackhawks...
Thank you.
Thank you for bringing hockey back.
Thank you for setting a winning standard...
...and for living up to all of our massive expectations.
Thank you for making every late night worth it.
And for winning in arenas that tried to keep us out.
We know this is not normal.
We know this is hard.
But we also know this team is special.
We know captains like this come around once in a lifetime.
And trustworthy defenders are remarkably rare.
We know these skills are unique.
And that good goaltending is more than just good luck.
We know it's nearly impossible to have a loaded team like this in the salary cap era.
So thank you for putting it together and keeping it intact, Mr. Wirtz and Mr. Bowman.
And thank you, Coach Q, for continually putting the winning combinations out on the ice.
This is a team Chicago will never forget.
So thank you for allowing us to witness greatness FOR THE THIRD TIME IN SIX YEARS!
Now let's celebrate!
