I spent last night at my high school reunion. I won’t say which one, but let’s just say the year is closer to Jeremy Roenick than Stan Mikita. It was a great time with some folks I hadn’t seen in years (decades in some cases). When we had our last somewhat significant reunion five years ago (before the pandemic) there was a lot less talk about the Blackhawks. Like — none. But I had a few people wanting to know how the team looks this year. Which was nice. The Blackhawks are at minimum interesting enough that they’re relevant for social conversation at a high school reunion.
