A few days after Rise Against performed at the House of Blues in Chicago in December Tim McIlrath – lead singer of the punk rock band — was at his hotel in Dallas, watching ESPN on a mute TV when his band’s name appeared on the scroll at the bottom of the screen. “Oh (shoot),” McIlrath thought to himself. “That’s not good.” Blackhawks’ goalie Corey Crawford had injured his foot…
