CHICAGO — A Chicago billboard is warning Tampa, Florida, that a storm is coming in the form of the Blackhawks.
The billboard pokes fun at the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are facing the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final, by having WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling show a Blackhawks-logo-shaped storm over Tampa. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The billboard is owned by Skokie-based Command Transportation. It has previously celebrated — and poked fun at — Chicago sports: One sign joked Jim McMahon should return to the Bears' lineup and another offered to give Justin Bieber to the winner of an Olympics matchup between Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews' Canadian team and Hawks star Patrick Kane's American squad. The U.S. team lost and the billboard ended up sporting a message that said, "Worst bet EVER."
The Blackhawks are looking to win their third Stanley Cup in six seasons.
