Why Blackhawks fans have 'Chelsea' on their minds
It's probably the most talked-about celebratory song since the White Sox reintroduced "Go Go White Sox" a few years back.
It's "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis, and it's what's cranked up after every Blackhawks goal this season at the United Center.
And since its debut, it has had people talking.
"We were searching high and low for a goal song," Tom O'Grady said. "It was a little quirky, and it was certainly contagious. I really respect Blackhawks fans, and I wanted something uplifting that could be pretty organic once it got going."
It wasn't an immediate hit, however
"The first few games we were getting some pretty bad responses - we were like, 'We might not make it,'" O'Grady said with a smile. "(Hawks president) John McDonough has a great vision; he said, 'Let it roll for a while.'
"Now it's pretty contagious and people really like it and it's become our goal song - more by patience than design."
