Play to win…or go home

♥ Comments (2) ♥

Turn the way back machine on and Jen-of-the-90s used to watch NHL all the time. I live just outside of Chicago, and i just used to pick a team each year and follow them through. I remember being a Dallas Stars fan in the mid 90s, then Avalanche, then Flyers, then Toronto, then the lockout happened. I just sort of never got back into it, then this year I started to watch the playoffs. I used to watch the playoffs all the time despite who was in them, but this year..for the first time in 7 years Chicago made the cut.

This whole series of playoff games has been extra exciting this year. Lower seeded teams who had to play the #1 teams for each conference were each taken out. Apparently the lower seeded teams didn’t get the memo this year that they were supposed to lose. Chicago made it past two rounds, they took out the Calgary Flames, then defeated the last canadian team in the running for the cup, Vancouver. So now we stand in the western conference finals matched up against Detroit. Yes i said Detroit. The rivalry that goes way way waaaaaay back. Detroit is a cup winning machine. They also have the cup now and are not going to let it go easily. Chicago you’ve lost 2 games in this series which means nothing, i have faith in you. Keep playing hard and tight like you did in game 2. Make the Wings work extra hard each and every game. Learn from them so you too can raise that cup into the air. I like your spirit and teamwork, y’all work together in such a way that excites everyone. Y’all can rally like it’s nobodies business. Keep it up and for the love of all things holy WIN TONIGHT AND SUNDAY IN THE UNITED CENTER!!

LET’S GO HAWKS!

p.s. if you made it this far..you can see a fine example of why hockey jersey’s only look good on fat drunk guys.
