It’s hard to believe something that started so innocently in the middle of January could end so abruptly and beautifully in June. Yet, that’s exactly what happened today (or yesterday). The Chicago Blackhawks captured their second Stanley Cup in four years in Boston on June 24. Yes, it’s incredibly hard to believe; even more so for the fans of the team since the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s but it is true.
This Hawks team, with a goalie as “incompetent” as Corey Crawford, a 3rd line not nearly as strong as the 2010 team and a top line that couldn’t nearly compete with the Western Conference’s best somehow found its way to the NHL’s top prize at the end of June.
Anyways, like we’ve always done, let’s move to the bulletos.

when I’m numb natural one
(there’s no telling what we’ll do when we’re free)
yeah, we can take it
good excuse for an endless spree
good because we made it
and if the world is falling down,
it may as well crash with me
yeah, we can take it
good and loose on an endless spree
good because we made it
and when momma’s not around
there’s no telling what we’ll do when we’re free

If you’ll allow us to mix band metaphors: It’s right outside your door….
Or at least it will be. Lord Stanley’s favorite beer mug will enter the building sometime tonight while the two teams are on the ice, and it can only be brought out of the box by the men with white gloves to be given to someone in a white jersey. And we now know that someone will be the one with the “C”, if it breaks that way.
