Michelle, that's it in a nutshell. It's a great story for non-hockey fans and even non-sports fans...like any story of repair and renewal turning something around miraculously. Just revives a person's spirit!Diana Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282682103659805945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272166947594687842.post-19428029181223486622010-06-13T09:48:21.176-05:002010-06-13T09:48:21.176-05:00This is a wonderful story ... showing how neglect ...This is a wonderful story ... showing how neglect and disrespect wreaks havoc. And how someone who treats a team with attention and love can bring it back to life and into full bloom!! What a great love story!! :-) Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272166947594687842.post-84343619954851991792010-06-13T09:30:52.331-05:002010-06-13T09:30:52.331-05:00YAY!
I am not a new hockey fan, but fairly new t...YAY! <br /><br />I am not a new hockey fan, but fairly new to the Blackhawks-land. I started following the 'Hawks because of Patrick Sharp. He was on my fantasy team and was playing very well. (lots of shorthanded goals) Then I learned about his and Adam Burrish's "Pick on a Teammate" video series on the website. Then I found Brent Seabrook (who I remembered as "the kid who admitted to liking 7th Heaven during the draft in 2003) and pretty much the rest is history. <br /><br />I remember the "good" Blackhawks teams of the '90s that were systematically disbanded (thanks for Chelli!). I love the city of Chicago, have several friends there (all Hawks fans for life, of course) so it was really only a matter of time until I admitted that I liked the Blackhawks too. <br /><br />So, while it was sort of an underground thing for a while, I fully admitted my Blackhawks fandom on new Year's Eve-- when I attended a New Jersey (a favorite) and Chicago game in Chicago. I cheered for the Blackhawks over the Devils. And I bought my first piece of Blackhawks paraphernalia- a Patrick Sharp t-shirt. (I want a jersey but the funds aren't there.. yet) <br /><br />I can't help it. The Blackhawks are a fun team to watch. They have lots of young talent and win exciting games. And now they won the Stanley Cup. It's awesome. I'm sure it's even better for the long-timers, like Davie, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. :) (now if only my #1 team could ever win anything... ) <br /><br />Sorry my comments tend to get so rambly. Go Blackhawks!S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.com
