1961

I don't know if the Chicago Blackhawks were tormented by opposing teams fans with chants of 1961 the way the New York Rangers were with 1940, but the Blackhawks finally won the Stanley Cup after a 49-year drought.  The Rangers' last championship in 1994 ended a 54-year wait, best emoted by a fan who held up a sign of relief, reading "Now I can die in peace."

It was also nice to see former Blackhawks star Bobby Hull back in the embrace of the organization after a grudge banning by former team management.  Hull watched Game 6 with fans at Harry Carry's Tavern on Navy Pier near downtown.
