"Congratulations to the fans, you guys deserve it. The Chicago Blackhawks deserve it. I’ve been there, I know what it’s like. This is an emotional thing for me… For the kid that was there in 1992, who was crying when I came off the ice after we lost Game 4 in Chicago Stadium - you waited 18 years. I hope you have a big smile on your face."

NBC broadcaster and former NHL player JEREMY ROENICK, before breaking down on air following Chicago’s 4-3 victory over the Flyers to win the Stanley Cup. Roenick played for the Blackhawks in 1992: his team was swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals. “I didn’t get to do that,” said Roenick, who through his tears seemed genuinely happy for his former team - and provided for one of the most emotional sports moments in broadcast history. Good for him.
