WWE wrestler and Chicago native CM Punk is a huge Blackhawks fan.

As the Wild were closing in on the Blackhawks in the final two minutes, CM Punk was nervous the Minnesota Wild could tie the game and force a Game 5.

After the Blackhawks completed the sweep against the Wild to advance to the Western Conference Finals, CM Punk tweeted pictures of a customized Blackhawks street sweeper and brooms.

CM Punk was so excited after the win, he offered the Blackhawks free pancakes.

It also looks like CM Punk doesn’t want to play the Anaheim Ducks in the finals.
