Just Saying Hi
Hello everyone at Armchair Nation - Chicago Blawkhawks. My name is Tony Griffo and I have just joined Armchair Nation.
I have been a fan of the Blackhawks since Tony Esposito was in the nets. In fact, when I was in HS, I bought a Blackhawk jersey and added Tony's #35 on the back and the shoulders. I wore that jersey to play street hockey in New Jersey for about 5 years.
I will try to keep you updated on all things Blackhawks. I still say that the logo is the best in sports!!
If you have a chance, please come and check out my own sports blog: www.allsportstony.blogspot.com
I have a segment called "Tony's Take" that I think you will enjoy. Remember, you may agree or disagree, BUT you will never be bored.

Hossa opens up about dark days following concussion
By Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune
The darkest times for Marian Hossa were literally spent in the dark.
For three days the Blackhawks veteran did nothing but lay in bed in a sleepy daze, day turning to night and back into day. At one point, he mistakenly told doctors his wife, Jana, was there with him in his Chicago home instead of where she really was: in Slovakia, eagerly waiting for an opportunity to speak to her husband on the phone.
"They were long days," Hossa told the Tribune on Sunday as he recalled the aftermath of his concussion suffered when he was hit illegally by the Coyotes' Raffi Torres during Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals April 17. "I was so tired. I'd wake up and fall asleep again. All of a sudden I'd realize it was nighttime and I wasn't hungry because I'd feel sick.
"I'd try to open the window and the light hits you and you realize it's not good. The first three days were the worst days, but slowly it would become a little bit better and better."
It was then Hossa, 33, began thinking of the future. Not just about returning to the ice, but also the long-term effects of the severe concussion brought upon by the hit that ended his season and resulted in a 21-game suspension for Torres.
