Since November of 2023, however, the chat surrounding this matchup has revolved around Patrick Kane who now plays for the Wings after his legendary tenure with the Hawks. He is always going to get attention before and after these games which is warranted considering he is one of the greatest to ever put on a Chicago sweater in any sport.

McCartney, who led the Buffaloes to three Big Eight titles and a national title in 1990, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2013. With five minutes left in the game, Cronin was given a technical and ejected after furiously contesting what he thought was a missed call.
