When the Hawks announced they were going to have a Jeremy Roenick heritage night, I knew that I was going to go to that game. The Blackhawks under new management really go nuts with these gimmick nights (can't wait for Sergei Krivokrasov night!), but it was nice to see JR back in a Hawk sweater, one even he admits he should never have been removed from (thanks old management).
I grew up watching Payton and the Bears, Jordan and the Bulls, Baines and the White Sox, but for whatever reason never embraced the Blackhawks until JR came around. I missed a lot of Savard, Wilson, and Larmer years and the anthems in the Old Barn; but glad Roenick, Chelios, and Belfour woke me up and opened my eyes to the greatest sport to watch.
So cheers, JR. Nice to see you again. And nice to see the Hawks beat San Jose 4-3 in overtime (cheers, to Seabrook too).
