Hall of Famers Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita were celebrated last night before the game. a season-high attendance of 21,908 was there for it too in Chicago- but the Sharks won the game, 3-2.
Seabrook and Toews scored, lalime in net (khabibulin is still suffering from back spasms, has missed 8 straight games).
of note: Hull is the Blackhawks’ career goals leader with 604, while Mikita holds team records for career points (1,467), assists (926) and games played (1,394). Both starred with the Blackhawks in the 1960s and into the 1970s, and played for Chicago’s last Stanley Cup winning team, in 1961.

Hey, that's pretty cool. Shame it didn't give the Hawks more of a spark, though... you think they'd be fired up enough to win this one.

Yeah, Sharks stole the crowd. I was wondering though - what took them so long to honour Hull and Mikita?
