Be Glad You Didn’t Wait In Line For This

By Eamonn Brennan

Long lines at the voting booth this morning. Such is the price of democracy. Such is also the price of a Patrick Kane figurine, which they handed out at the Blackhawks game last night to the first 10,000 fans inside the gate.

Because I prefer “having dinner” to “acquiring a Patrick Kane doll,” I did not make it in time, but some drunk dudes next to my buddies did. The above is what they received. They were trying to sell it for like $10, which seems a fair price, but as it wasn’t even a bobblehead, I was willing to go no higher than five. Both sides walked away from the table before a deal could be reached.

As for the Blackhawks themselves, last night was without question their best all-around game in 2008. They scored six goals, and the Avalanche only scored two. Thus, the Blackhawks won. This is the sort of hockey analysis you can’t get anywhere else.
