Hawks Fans Celebrating Berth In Stanley Cup Final
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Blackhawks fans who aren't sleeping in this morning after a late night of double-overtime are talking about the win - and the Stanley Cup Final.
The win over the LA Kings was a life-changing experience for Rick North of Madison, Wisconsin, who says he was never a Blackhawks fan.
"I wasn't until last night. It was pretty cool that they won. I'm happy that the Blackhawks won."

It seems he was more of a closeted Blackhawks fan.
"My sons live in LA. So there could be a little tension back and forth."
North says one reason he likes the Hawks is because of what he calls a "Chicago-Wisconsin bond."
"I don't know. Just a connection between Chicago and Wisconsin."
WBBM: Well, you talk about that bond, but I'm guessing you're a Green Bay fan.
"Oh, yes, definitely. No, the bond is broken when it comes to football. And we have our own Cubs with the Brewers, so we don't need to lament about that."
