The Blackhawks, who have watched their popularity drop consistently in the last decade, withdrew their contract offer to broadcaster Pat Foley Friday, ending the 25-year relationship between the team and broadcaster.
The Hawks did not make a formal announcement regarding Foley, instead sending out a press release at 7 p.m. Friday evening.
The last paragraph of the release states, "Due to recent circumstances, the Blackhawks today have withdrawn their contract offer to Mr. Foley."
"Those circumstances are personal between Pat and the Blackhawks," said Jim DeMaria, Executive Director of Communications for the Hawks.
It wasn't lost on Foley that there was no acknowledgement by the Hawks of his 25 years with the team, especially after being in Los Angeles earlier in the season when the Kings gave a grand pre-game ceremony to their TV analyst, Jim Fox, marking his 25 years with the organization.
What a bunch of gutless Pricks and do it on a friday Night , just like the Scrubs and contract extensions, they keep Pulford stupid ass around forever and treat Foley like s*** no wonder they are so far down the charts in Chicago............f*** THE WIRTZ'S :finger
