As many Blackhawks fans are aware, Pat Foley's time as the teams play-by-play commentator is sadly coming to an end later this month. Tonight however, Blackhawks fans will be able to hear him one more time alongside probably his most famous partner from his time with the Blackhawks, Dale Tallon. Tallon was a former Blackhawks player (among other teams in his career), who moved into the booth once his playing career was over.
Over the years, Pat Foley and Dale Tallon have had many memorable calls that fans have fond memories. But the infamous "wee-knee" call is definitely towards the top of the list of their all-time calls simply for how hilarious it is.
Tonight, in honour of Pat Foleys times announcing for the Chicago Blackhawks of 40 years slowly comes to a end, Dale Tallon joined him for "One last time" and Pat Foley sent quite the emotional message and thank you to Pat when the game ended:
