For one night, let’s talk Hossa, jersey retirements, and maybe some of the more conspicuous (and necessary) absences of the evening. We can (and will) talk about the harsher reality of the present and the long road and longer odds the Blackhawks face in their quest to bring that Cup and this vibe back to Chicago for the next several months, maybe several years. With more than 21,000 fans on hand to witness it - Hossa even prompted a boisterous ‘DETROIT SUCKS’ chant, the pause clearly written into his 20-minute speech - it felt like the good old days again. Hossa poses with his former teammates, including current players Patrick Kane and Jonathon Toews.
