Boston fans might not want anything to do with the Chicago Blackhawks right now, but Chicago went a long way toward making sure that any bad feelings between the two cities heal quickly.
Rocky Wirtz, chairman of the Wirtz Corporation and principal owner of the Blackhawks, teamed up with team president John McDonough to release a full-page advertisement in the Boston Globe on Friday thanking the citizens of Beantown for respectfully representing their team off the ice:
Incredible. The Blackhawks took out a full page (ad) in the Globe thanking Boston. You gotta read this. Class act. pic.twitter.com/VlrSE61dX6

Boston has had an incredibly trying year, and it's great to see Blackhawks ownership tipping its hat to the city's fans. You can bet the Bruins would trade all of this good will in a second for another shot at Lord Stanley's Cup, but it's always nice to see a mutual respect between two classic fanbases.
Lose with dignity, celebrate with grace. Well done, Chicago.
