Consider Friday and Saturday evenings’ games exhibits 1A and 1B in the case for putting Blackhawks home contests on TV. It doesn’t seem possible this case will ever really need to be made again but hardened Hawks fans won’t be completely convinced for a while yet that the recent run of enlightened leadership at 1901 West Madison won’t suddenly be exposed as a mirage. After all, the biggest reason the Hawks needed to televise their contests at the United Center wasn’t exactly complicated. They needed to improve the odds the fans at home would see at least as many victories as setbacks, what with winning being about the best marketing a team can do and all.
