Earlier last evening, it was revealed that former legendary Blackhawks play by play commentator Pat Foley was present at the United Center to watch the Anaheim Ducks game.

The beloved and now retired play by play commentator was revered by Blackhawks fans as he provided in depth knowledge and a great voice as he called it some of the greatest moments in Blackhawks history.

According to Wikipedia he began his journey in his craft as he was allowed to be in the radio booth of Wrigley Field in 1964.

After working for Michigan State University in 1977, his link between the Blackhawks and himself began when his father took the recordings to the Wirtz brothers Who owned the Blackhawks which helped him secure his first game in 1981.

Event spent 39 years with the Blackhawks until April 14th, 2022, where he called his final game where he told many that he may appear from time to time but he will never work full time again.

Foley left a great legacy in the Blackhawks fan base and is well respected throughout the league as several prominent broadcasters have been hanging up their microphones over the past couple of years.

The Blackhawks who were trying to snap out of their losing streak unfortunately lost to the Anaheim Ducks 3-2.

There's a growing sense that something may happen in Chicago as the losses continued to mount and Connor Bedard going games without scoring a single goal though still contributing with primary assists.

The team has lost three games in a row and currently has a record of 6-12-1 for 13 points through 19 games played with a goal differential of -14.

The Blackhawks will have their hands full as the reigning Stanley Cup champions the Florida Panthers will come to town on Thursday November 21st at 8:30 PM.
