The highlight for me involved free helmet night.  The first whatever-thousand fans received a Blackhawks hard-hat last night and when Toews tipped the puck into the net in the second for his apparent hat trick clincher, Hawks fans went all Wrigley bleachers and started hurling those helmets onto the ice in celebration.  Then because it wasn’t funny enough already, the goal was called back and everyone had wasted their giveaway.  Check out the video; the first three minutes are the best.

Thankfully, Toews would complete the hat trick later and the hats flew onto the ice again.  How were there so many hats left after the first one?!  I’m not sure if people were too attached to their hats the first time and were just drunk enough to throw them in the third, or if that many people held onto them the first time knowing the goal might be called back.  Actually, I suppose all those lower bowl fans that threw their helmets the first time reloaded and had to give up their free gift twice.  Dedication.  Here’s the second video:
