What better of a place is there to celebrate Michael Jordan’s 50th birthday than the United Center? In the second photo, to the upper right are the banners depicting the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cups of 1934, 1938, 1961 and 2010. To the upper left are the Bulls’ NBA Championship banners of 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In the background are the retired Blackhawks jerseys of Glenn Hall (1), Pierre Pilote (3), Keith Magnuson (3), Bobby Hull (9), Denis Savard (18), Stan Mikita (21) and Tony Esposito (35). Not pictured: the retired Bulls jerseys of Jerry Sloan (4), Bob Love (10), Michael Jordan (23) and Scottie Pippen (33).
Scottie Pippen had his number retired. Does that banner also have Jordan’s name on it?

Let’s hope Mr. Jordan’s namesake pots a goal in his honor today

@neil, Cliffy typically plays Chicago well, especially in the United Centre, it was two years ago he broke in off the left wing and blew past the D and made a great move for a big goal in the 1st period.
Neil coming to Toronto area again?
Two years ago you were up?
Can’t see me getting to LA anytime soon but would really enjoy to hook up for the game and some party activities..

@neil, I was so, so hoping to use that reference on Twitter yesterday and credit you. Ayr Jordan!

This place should be where the Kings make the statement. Make it clear boys that we are the champions!

if our big forwrds play very physical and smart, our young D continues to grow, I like our chances here,, I really do believe this is a point when our boys are done doing a victory lap around the league, I predict many more hits by Brown here, and a much better game from Richards and Quick

It will all come together for the Kings in the United Center.
United we stand, de-Vikinged we fall.
In Sutter we trust!

Wow, did the Blackhawks really retire the No. 3 jersey not once, but twice?!
That’s like if the Kings were to retire Denis Tsygurov and JMFJ!
Well … could happen, I suppose..

@Michael J.,
I forgot Tom Laidlaw, Gary Galley and Brent Thompson..
Would this ammount to a ‘quinlemna’ if someone in the front office had to make a decision here?

Deep thoughts (thanks for inspiration, @pili) with Jack Fruity:
Will it be ‘Weekend at Berniers’ or ‘Quicksilver (& black & white)’ ???
And, where have we seen this movie before???
GKG!!!!!
