The Blackhawks are just minutes away from opening their Western Conference Final series against the San Jose Sharks. But someone's face is red right now after an oops at Daley Plaza left a tribute to the team just a bit off-color. The fountain was supposed to be dyed red but wound up hot pink instead. After a few attempts to get the water the right hue, the city just gave up Friday evening and promised to give it another go tomorrow or Tuesday. On the bright side, some visitors to the plaza said they thought it was pink for another worthy reason: breast cancer awareness. [CBS 2]
