Sometimes one must make sacrifices to see good things come to those who deserve 'em.

Congrats to Kimmo.

As much as I hate Chicago and the over hyped Toews I have to give him kudos for what he did and said about Kimmo. When you put a human element to it most hockey guys are pretty down to earth good guys.

I'm glad he'll get his name on the cup, he's a great guy, but he was pretty terrible for the Hawks. I wish he would've won one when he was at the top of his game rather than as a complete passenger.

Kimmo didn't quite know what to do with it.

He will always be a Predator to me.

The one good thing coming out of the hawks win.
Congrats Kimmo!

Congrats Kime! You are one of the classiest player to ever play the game, coming to watch you with the Cup in Kuopio! You really deserved it.

Thank you Kimmo for a wonderful career, thank you for being an ambassador to this sport, thank you for being such a gentleman for your whole career, thank you for everything, Kimmo.

So awesome to see even if seeing the Hawks win made me hate my life.

Kimmo's yell of pure joy after getting the cup made me cry.

Watched all of the Bolts games this season, and the run to the finals was pretty special and then pretty sad... but seeing Kimmo raise the cup let me smile for just a few moments there at the end. A very deserving champion!

Started to get the sniffles when he was handed the cup. Quality player, quality person. Wish he could have played a slightly more prominent role, but considering the circumstances, it seems like he was lucky to be playing at all. Good soldier.

Just wish it wasn't with the hawks.

I've stayed completely away from watching anything having to do with their celebration. Did Timmo give a shout out to Nashville or something?

I rode the Amtrak to Chicago for a wedding. I was caught in the outflow of the estimated 2 million fans for the parade. A sea of red and black as soon as I stepped into Union Station. It was like a nightmare!

Egad! I think I would have jumped off the nearest building to have avoided that. Seek counseling immediately for the post traumatic stress that experience undoubtedly caused.

I have a thick hide. Besides, the tracks are 2 stories below street level. I had to drag my suitcase up the steps because all of the escalators were set to down. The lady in front of me was kind of upset about that. Someday, I will have to learn where an elevator is at in that station!

Union Station is across the Chicago River from the Willis (Sears) Tower. You have to pay to get to the observation deck. Everything in Chicago is expensive.
