The Chicago Blackhawks asked fans to send thank-you messages in chalk to departed star Patrick Kane. PWSullivan asks if it was a nice gesture or a way to deflect the focus from their incompetence?
Yehudah David, left, and Ben Abraham, both of Chicago, pass through a parking lot of chalk messages in front of the United Center, adorned with the No. 88 in honor of former Blackhawks player Patrick Kane on Thursday. Kane, one of the greatest Hawks players of all time, was traded to the Rangers on Tuesday.
Did the Hawks organization reserve a spot Thursday in the overpriced parking lot just to give Hawks fans a chance to write their goodbyes to the departed superstar in colored chalk?Or was it simply a way to deflect the focus from the sad regression of the franchise, the unending rebuild and the embarrassing return from the Rangers for one of the greatest players in franchise history?There’s no doubt the Hawks business operations department and front office will miss Kane, just like their fans.
As Kane prepared to make his Rangers debut Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, the Hawks sent a news release inviting fans to “show their gratitude and appreciation for one of the greatest Chicago Blackhawks players of all time.
So the media was invited to “capture live shots and b-roll footage of the display,” and of course the response was what one might expect.
