Blackhawks players get fan sendoffs for SOCHI Olympics.

The Illinois Lottery and the Chicago Blackhawks are at it again with another video.  This one shows fans recording a personal message for their favorite Blackhawks Olympians before they head over to the Sochi to represent their country for the Winter Games.  Oh, and there’s a wonderful twist at the end :)

You can watch the video here. (it loads slowly, but it worth it)

Anything is possible.

While I like the idea that “anything is possible”, there are limitations.  For example, you’re probably not going to wake up one morning and find that you have morphed into a walrus.  However, if you find yourself on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, and head into the Blackhawks store, you just might find this guy behind the counter.

In honor of St Patrick’s (Kane) Day, the Illinois Lottery put this 24-year old to work at the Blackhawks Store at 325 N Michigan Ave.  Much to the surprise of some patrons.  Kane helped a few people at the counter, giving away a couple jerseys.  He also swept the floor, and rearranged some of the merchandise… which consisted of moving some of his KANE 88 jerseys over some of his (Captain)’s TOEWS 19 jerseys.  Kane and Toews give each other a lot a grief and joke around a lot, so I found that bit especially amusing.
