Blackhawks: Not playing the Red Wings? They play with red shells!
As many of you know, this is has its roots in Chicago, home to the recently eliminated Chicago Blackhawks. Yeah, we’re all disappointed, but at least the team had fun, and they had fun in more ways than one. Many of the players spent Tuesday night (ahead of Wednesday’s Game 5) in the hotel enjoying their favorite video game. As forward Colin Fraser explains, ”We’ve been playing ‘Mario Kart’ the whole playoffs in the hotel. It’s a good way to pass the time and have fun.”
Patrick Kane, who will be gracing the cover of EA’s NHL 10 when it launches later this year, has been playing as well. “A lot of the guys like it. There’s definitely a group that’s pretty good… A lot of the guys say I’m the worst player, but that’s because they’ve been playing at home.”
I guess we can’t all be good at Mario Kart… It’s okay, Kane’s got hockey to fall back on.
