Connor Murphy Shows Us What It’s All About

We’ve all been fans who get wide-eyed when we get close to our favorite players. Last night in Calgary, one fan had incredible seats for her first time seeing the Blackhawks play. And defenseman Connor Murphy made her night one she’ll never forget.

This fan got to see the Blackhawks for the first time in 63 years as a fan. She got all the way down to right next to the Blackhawks’ bench with her sign. Murphy saw the sign and made sure she left with a stick. Love to see it. And, again, this is why Murph gets my vote (not that I have one) for the Blackhawks’ next captain if/when they decide they need one.
