Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup! WGN Radio Call!

[mrceebees14]

I see a-lot of posts here from very young fans saying where they were when the Hawks won the cup. As a fan of the Isles who saw his team win their first cup at the age of 8 in 1980, I can tell you you will never forget every part of that day. From the temp outside, to the sounds you heard, the smells you smelled, the people you talked to, that is forever now burned into you like it was for me 32 years ago.

Enjoy to its fullest, because it's truly a special moment.

Cheers.....

[mrceebees14]

Amazing how quickly that franchise turned it around after penny pinching Wirtz died. That old mans death was the best thing that ever happened to that franchise since he bought it.

[wallyreimers]

I was watching this on TV, 10:30 at school night, getting ready to be graurating 8th grade, man that was the most incrible night of my life....And I remeber the next day...I love that monent.

[CesarSnipezz]

I can admit. I cry. I'm 15, I'm a guy, and I started liking the Hawks back in the 08-09 season when I went to my first game. Before that it was all just a "stupid sport" as I was an arrogant kid. I cry because hearing this, I just remembered seeing my dad, who has been a Hawks fan for 45 years now. Grew up with them, cried on the day they won the cup. Not because it was a victory, but because his father was a die-hard Hawks fan. I never got to know him. But everytime I hear it I think of them.

[wewd]

John Wiedeman = Legend.

[GoPackersGo100]

Goosebumps and im a leaf fan! one of the best calls of all time!

[TerpsU]

I just came

[77HeIix]

Series should have went to 7... Carter missing the GWG with 90 seconds left in the 3rd of game 6

UGH!!!!!!

[TheSurefireGamer]

@77HeIix Gave it a valiant effort. Philly's a problem and we'll see 'em again in the Finals soon.

[leopardgecko45]

@TheSurefireGamer oh yes we are a problem!!!!lol

[real4version4videos]

every time i watch this video i get serious Chills

[BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

I cried a little bit after watching this.. I am so proud to be a die-hard Chicago Blackhawks fan since i was a little kid.

[zzyzx0788]

@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS I wish Bill Wirtz had not been in charge of the Blackhawks growing up in the 90s, I amazingly don't remember the Hawks ever been on in my very sports heavy household, I was never lucky enough to be a Hawks (and hockey) fan til the Rocky Wirtz era. But oh well, I got enough this one, and probably many more!

[2002Smalls]

@zzyzx0788 its sad that the hawks's rebirth began with a death, and i cried once we won it all! i couldnt believe it, and just like the commercial, words can't describe the feelings you get. untill you've been a part/fan of a team coming this far, you feel like your on top of the world, and i loved that unlike lots of championship teams, we never had a riot, we didn't really know how to react, thank god we did in a good way! and hell yea i was one of the 2 million people at the parade downtown!

[zzyzx0788]

@2002Smalls I can imagine, I'm still waiting for the Cubs and Bears to do the same for me lol. The Hawks Cups win was still amazingly nonetheless and I was still glued to the TV that whole time that year. And yes thank god we didnt react the way Vancouver did when they lost! I wish I could have found a ride to the parade but it was still a blast to watch on TV

[2002Smalls]

@zzyzx0788 i bet you got a better view than me: i watched them go down the street but didnt see anything of the rally: there were so many fans blocking the street, so i went across the chicago river into some restaurant, and watched it on tv:/ but i did see the Stanley Cup: the massage therapist lives in my neighborhood, so he brought it to the fire station, and i got to kiss it after about 5 hours of waiting! sorry im a sox fan, but still a big bears fan, and disappointed after this season :(

[bigsquishymike]

i get chills every time I here the call GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrThegoldstandard]

i saw this the night i moved from minneapolis, and then the next morning i was in chicago it was cool as hell

[zzyzx0788]

Goosebumps=still

[ItalianAcoustic]

I can't wait to hear what the announcer's say when we win the Stanley cup this season...

[MelMelsNRich]

Ya know, it makes me so damn happy that after a whole 49 years, we as hawks fan can talk shit to other teams! ! its long overdue and good to give bac k some of the horrible shit we took over the last 49 years!

[Spudskie]

Hawks will win another 2 or 3 Cups before the 'Nucks ever win their first.

[CesarSnipezz]

@Spudskie one coming this year broski.

[ryanmclegend]

@jacejolly Hey at least weve won a cup in the last millenium!!!



[atariadrian]

Is this a real broadcast? These guys stink.

[zzyzx0788]

@atariadrian ....what the hell are you talking about? This was awesome. Your team just won the Stanley Cup, would you rather hear/see this or a 4-1 win as they casually announce the victory? Aside from the initial confusion this couldn't be more exciting

[atariadrian]

terrible commentators

[chels01e]

So glad I was listening to the radio while I was watching this on TV!

[duffy31311]

Blackhawks are the canuck's bitch.

[dannyxt]

@duffy31311 yeah they blew a 3-0 series lead had a 1-0 lead in game 7 and gave up a shorty with 2 minutes left to tie it and got lucky on a bad clear in OT. big bitches they are...

[bmrhojo1]

@duffy31311 Oh yeah......I mean the Hawks only eliminated those pussies two years running......and IF Pavel Kubina doesn't cheap shot Dave Bolland during the reg season it WOULD have been three. Fuck off you piece of crap. Hey how does the Vancouver Stanley Cup parade feel....oh wait.....

[duffy31311]

@bmrhojo1

stop living in the past.  It was great to see the blackhawks beat vancouver this year......oh wait.

[js30blackhawks2010]

@duffy31311 This is ONE more Stanley Cup than you faggots in Vancouver will ever have. Blackhawks FOUR titles... Cafucks ZERO titles.

[AWOwns]

@duffy31311 It was great to see the Can'tucks win the Stanley Cup this year. Oh wait...

[duffy31311]

@AWOwns

Great to see the blackhawks just plain smoke the canucks in that game 7. oh wait..

[AWOwns]

@duffy31311 Winning in the playoffs doesn't mean anything if you don't win the Cup. Oh wait, you're a Can'tucks fan, you don't know what winning the Stanley Cup is.

[duffy31311]

@AWOwns

never said I cared about the cup. what I wanted to see was us be the cause of shitcago skating off the ice, sad and pissed off. Wished that happened. oh wait..

[cubssuk91]

@duffy31311 if you don't care about the cup then what's the point in even watching hockey?

[nabs307]

@duffy31311...lol....How many Cups does Vancouver have? Oh and nice way to show your feelings by doing a riot...

[duffy31311]

...shoulda...coulda...woulda..­..lol

[bmrhojo1]

@duffy31311 didn't answer my question I was twenty feet from the stage at the end of the parade last year. How was Vancouver's parade???

and yeah your right about Bolland but at least you know that if he had played the little Nuckies would have gone home three years running to the Hawks.....but if they meet next year it will be 3 out of 4

[CesarSnipezz]

@bmrhojo1 :D hahahhaha dude, you made my life. True, Vancouver sucks, they truly got a lucky break against the Hawks, when Bolland came back we started winning. I was at the beginning of the parade and it was amazing. Hawks > Canucks. Always.

[js30blackhawks2010]

@duffy31311 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

That's why we have won the Cup FOUR times and you've never touched it... and never will.

[SuperLuigi752]

I HATE U HAWKS!!!!

[hattrick116]

@SuperLuigi752 =P

[chitownmike25]

I can now say I've seen everyone of my favorite pro teams win a championship. ( That's right I'm a WHITE SOX not a cubs fan!)

[BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

@chitownmike25 YEAH GO SOX AND HAWKS! im more of a Hawks fan but i was raised both but the Sox arnt doing so hot this year and the Sox won the WS on my B-day when i turned 11-12 i was in 5th grade and im 16-17 now but fuck Cubs bro ahah ive always hated them as much but not as much as Vancouver

[chitownmike25]

well I've always been a Sox fan, my late Dad used to throw Cub fans outta his house. I'm 46 never liked the cubs, surrounded by cub fans @ work, i tell them to talk to me when they have a world series trophy in this century. I have my pic taken with the Sox world series trophy and the 'Hawks Stanley Cup...I'm pretty well set. :)

[BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

@chitownmike25 yeah i have maybe 3-4 cubs fans in my fam my aunts but a majority of em are Sox fans and yeah me older brother went and saw the Trophy in 2005 when they won it all and last Summer me and my dad saw the Cup at 115 Bourbon St. and the parade Downtown

[BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

@chitownmike25 yeah i have maybe 3-4 cubs fans in my fam my aunts but a majority of em are Sox fans and yeah me older brother went and saw the Trophy in 2005 when they won it all and last Summer me and my dad saw the Cup at 115 Bourbon St. and the parade Downtown i kissed the Cup and got my pic taken same with the MLBWS Trophy

[amigonick121]

i am a huge sharks fan but that call is one of the greatest calls in cup history

but this year is our year!!

[ernstbruno]

@amigonick121 Go kick some red wings tonite.

[hattrick116]

Now if only the Cubs could clear they're name =(

[BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

@hattrick116 Choke

[pokemonsucks122]

@sonic4500productions not even close

[sonic4500productions]

keep on clicking on 0:37 to hear what to describe the blackhawks.

[MrChicagosports1]

@sonic4500productions we all know u like cock now u fag

[Cappie4ever228]

@sonic4500productions Wow.....your funny. If you didnt notice the sarcasm there, your dumber than your sense of humor.

[TheWheatisHeat96]

compare this team to the Eric Daze, Joslyn Thiebolt, Mark Bell team

[MrFlyerGuy]

A heartbreaking moment in my life. Hopefully the Flyers can do it this year

[blackhawkslove88]

i dont think i will ever hear this call without getting goose bumps.best moment of my entire life & i'll never forget it <3

[wingslax28]

nope, no championship this season for the hawks so u all better not get ur hopes up

[500fordgt]

single greatest day of my life

[Gdayguy36]

@500fordgt Yes, same here. Let's do it again this upcoming playoffs!

[zuckersteinchen]

fantastic

[alerske]

one of the weirdest cup clinching goals ever...congrats the chicago fans and the blackhawks. can't discredit what the flyers accomplished throughout the season and the playoffs though, it's a whole new year now.

LET'S GO FLYERS!

[vitski551]

@alerske see now thats classy.. they had a great season barley making it then upsetting the bruins then this.. you guys have a good chance this year

[fetchy15]

Im surprised this guy didnt drop any f bombs.. if i was callin this game id be like "SWEET FLYING PHILADELPHIA THE HAWKS HAVE WON THE STANLEY FUCKIN CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[guitarherock90]

this still gives me goose bumps

[rezac0806]

Hearing Troy Murray screaming in the background makes this radio call complete.

[futureshocker]

That was the best belated birthday gift ever!

[NVgoldrush12]

ya know what? i think i kinda like our messed up "no one knows except Kane (and Sharp & Leighton & some other guys)" goal.

love this call. =)

[bmrhojo]

@NVgoldrush12 Me too....because in a weird way it will actually immortalize the moment. Five years from now.....ten years people will stll remember Kaners goal that they didn't see...

[whitesoxhater]

I'm going to guess that the one person who didn't like this was a Flyers fan

[zashelbs]

one of the best moments in my life

[SPORTSLOGOSTV]

@zashelbs mine to i was having a tough time with my sports team i was getting so fustrated but i knew one day one of my sports teams would win and when they score i was going crazy

[CubsFan2812]

The announcer can't believe it!!! Lol. GO HAWKS!!!

[zashelbs]

I get chills watching this i allways watch these guys whean the games werent on on tv

[MrJuha82]

@zashelbs Jihuuu Chicago really deserved a champion.

[TaylorSwiftFan139]

@zashelbs haha i got chills to! i was so excited i was screaming!!

[lawabider41]

First of all the dumb ass ref, as all NHL refs are stupid asses was totally out of position. He was in the opposite corner of Kane when he should have been positioned behind the net. If he had been in the correct position the radio or TV wouldn't have been so messed up. The play by play guys had no clue how to call cuz can shot a 15 foot slapper at 300 mph. If u watch it full speed from the overhead you see it go in and get stuck. Ladd knew it was in when Darrell Powe dropped his head too.

[chicubsown2]

LOL one dislike must be a Flyer fan HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

[shamu636]

gotta love John Wiedeman...hope i spelled that right

[TheMazzfish]

does anyone have the mp3 for this?

[zzyzx0788]

I really wish I had the radio when this happened, the tv announcers were so boring and anti-climactic with the score, these guys were great. Then again I think I was just too excited to care anyway

[skitch29]

Douchebag jealous jacejolly. Pure joy in those guys voice, whatta win!!!!

[steeltribute75]

For all the people complaining about the call - how would you have called it? No one knew that it was in the net. The only way you would have had a true dramatic call is if Kane had been announcing! I'm sure Hawks fans don't care - they are champs, and well-deserved ones too.

[JoebDragon]

@steeltribute75

May if they showed the net cam / over head cam live then people would of seen it go in and not have a call like how all of them called it. Kane saw it a he got it right at first.

[cej2389]

None of the broadcasters got the call right.

[TonyC285]

that emotion was what everyone felt....its good...no...yes!! Thanks to the Blackhawks for a simply Amazing year..

[thebigshot187]

WE'LL TAKE IT

[thtuskey]

I'd love to hear they Flyers' call too.

[elmoco]

can you post the flyers radio call?? they teased it at espn 1000 but i haven't been able to find it online. plz???

[weisetho]

that is the worst championship clinching call in the history of all sports. He attempts to recreate excitement of a game clinching goal, and then used his rehearsed and probably prepared speech for the end of the series (plus stole from Gene Hart). Poor announcing and I would have just loved to hear how Tim Saunders would have called it

[ashrok1982]

@weisetho Dude, the television commentating was off, radio was off, heck even us watching the game had no idea what was going on...the goal was so swift and direct, watching in slow motion looks like regular motion...GO HAWKS!

[onehotseat]

@weisetho The only person in that entire arena that knew the game was over was Patrick Kane. Everyone else was like "WTF?" Couldn't find the puck, no one had any clue. I'm sure if you'd been calling that game you'd have no idea, either, and your call would have been horrendous. Give them a break.

[shamu636]

@onehotseat i think patrick sharp did to. I was at the game and all i saw were Kaner and Sharpy goin nuts so I did to. Watch the replay and see if you agree with me.

[onehotseat]

@shamu636 Indeed... I've been replaying the video highlights over and over, because it's too much fun, and you're right. Sharp definitely saw it go in, because he skated right to Kane immediately after the shot, while everyone else was hunting for the puck.

[gobears1987]

@onehotseat I want to say Boynton saw it too. I know Ladd didn't as he said he never saw it. He "saw Kaner celebrating so he chased his mullet down the ice."

[steve81989]

One of the best game callers in the game right there...

[chisoxfan81]

Most confusing ending ever!!

[kanervatie]

49 years? That's nothing.

[ajgoplay]

@kanervatie In hockey it is...

[kanervatie]

@ajgoplay

Oh, sorry. I counted so wrong. "We"' have waited for 47 years.

[jacejolly]

lol....it's too bad you guys got such a terrible call to remember your first stanley cup in 49 years.

[omgimgunnalincecum]

@jacejolly We'll take an own goal as long as we get the cup!

[ShaqFlims]

@omgimgunnalincecum where can i find the audio clip of the call??????????

[jackmehof247]

@omgimgunnalincecum you should hear the Versus guys call, 10x worse..

[prototype72177]

@jacejolly i think it being anticlimatic makes it much more legendary. It was exciting yet confusing and great to watch (in my opinion)

[PrairieThunderFan1]

@jacejolly dude it got stuck in the mesh in the back of  the net you retard, you wouldn't of won it anyway.

[runninman61]

@jacejolly Don't be sad jolly. We owned you guys and the Flyers suck

[80sbandsrock]

@jacejolly yeah thats true and im a hawks fan.

[SMG2fanatic]

@jacejolly Like it really matters, because if you're a flyer fan, than Suck it!

[FuzzyFruits]

@jacejolly Its to bad that you didnt win the stanely cup that year.. huh.. weird.

[RonCoglianese]

@jacejolly who gives a shit about the call? We won the cup

[Fixeledd]

@jacejolly hey, whos cup is it? hahaha

[jchase1982]

@jacejolly There is no bad call to a Cup win

[Enstrom39]

@jacejolly Go back and look at the replay you dumbass. You can CLEARLY see the puck past the goal line, and in the net. You must be either a Cryers fan, a Canfucks fan, or both. Either way, go home and cry to your mama, you sorry sack of shit

[OuTSMOKE]

lol, John and Troy got PUMPED

[VideoMikael]

Ha ha... I sounded quite the same... after the "wait, what? where's the puck?" ... I just kept shouting "The Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup!"

[tbo41fan]

Can you post a mp3 download of this? Please?
