The puck just dropped in Chicago, with the Blackhawks seeking to ice a 4-0 sweep in the NHLâs Western Conference finals. Chicago sports a formidable 7-1 playoff road record, partly because they keep it loose with Mario Kart Wii
The Tanookiâs Matthew Dominick works for the team and shot this video for the Blackhawksâ site earlier this weekend. Hawks center Colin Fraser is your host, taking you on a tour of a hotel conference center rigged with two Wiis â one on the âAâ TV and the other the âBâ TV for lesser performers. Defenseman Brian Campbell is super-intense; linemate Niklas Hjalmarsson less so, engaging in iPhone-distracted driving while still managing to win.
Even if you donât recognize the players, itâs a good two-minute look at Canadian mullets, and what a playoff beard looks like 40 days deep into the postseason.
