"Major Announcement" Coming Tomorrow

Chicago Blackhawks ‏@NHLBlackhawks 2m
The #Blackhawks will make a major team announcement Friday afternoon. http://*******/13IJsz7

My guess is that it's the Stadium Series game (Penguins/Hawks at Soldier Field March 1st) being officially announced, but you never know.

I figure it's either the outdoor stadium jersey, or hopefully the return of the original black jersey

Or Quenneville extension

Glad to hear it. I'm up and down with Q. Mostly I like him, but I would prefer him with a couple new assistant coaches.

Its definetey going to be Q's extention, the beans have been spilled by numerous media outlets. And glad to hear it too, there was a lot of rants to fire Q the past 2 seasons, and getting spanked out of the 1st round 2 years in a row (2011, 2012) played a big part of that for sure, but I have been a supporter of his since he joined the organization, he has his own way of coaching, and it is obviously paying off with 2 cups, and 2 extentions.

The Hawks weren't spanked out of the 1st round in either year, especially not last year (though, there was a convincing game 6 loss).

The Hawks easily could have beaten the Canucks in 2011, though the Canucks were by far the better team in 5 of the 7 games and the Coyotes and Hawks played 5 OT games last year.. again, they could have easily beaten the Coyotes and they were the better team overall, but that's how the playoffs go sometimes.
