Looks like the fans are beginning to believe in the team as every home game so far this season has had a 20,000+ crowd after years of stuggling to half fill the arena.I always knew there was hockey fans in Chicago they were just waiting to have a decent team to support,the fact that big bad bill wirtz isn't around anymore also helps.
To be fair the fans always believed but due to 'Dollar' Bills continual distaste for the fans they decided to make a stand and boycott, which then lead to him not allowing TV coverage of all home games.
He really was bad news for the club, his son Rocky has made massive strides in rebuilding the club and making fans feel part of it again, long may it continue.
The last 2 games have reportly been sellouts which can only be good news.
