from Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Sun-Times,

Forget the bump in the ice Tuesday. Indulge me while I traffic in hypotheticals.

What if the Blackhawks cruise through the rest of the playoffs?

What if they win their second consecutive Stanley Cup and their third in five seasons?

What if they don’t stop there?

What if the parades continue for several more years, and the city streets have a permanent layer of confetti?

Would that be the greatest accomplishment in Chicago sports history, given the difficulties and vagaries of hockey?
