Go HAWKS !!!

Go HAWKS !!!

Posted by Nerdyy

For those of you that dont know me that well I'm also a (somewhat) fanatical sports fan. For the last 15 -20 years or so I've concentrated on mostly football (the American version) and hockey (the one played on ice - also known as Canada's national pastime). Football season is still a few months away, but the NHL - National Hockey League is almost at the Stanley Cup playoffs stage. For those of you that have never watched a hockey game (on ice) - it is the fastest and most exciting sport you can ever watch. And yes - for those of us that love blood and gore - there is a LOT of fighting in hockey games and I mean real fistfights, not to mention unbelievable hits on players - well you just have to watch it to experience it. The point of this post is to salute the accomplishments of my favorite hockey team - the Chicago Blackhawks. This year they won the Presidents Trophy for the best regular season record among all teams. The Presidents trophy does come with a form of a curse in the sense that most times the team that wins this doesnt win the ultimate prize - The Stanley Cup. But given that the Hawks did win the Cup two years ago, I'm not that worried about whether the curse will come true again or not. And oh yes - the other team that I used to support - the Dallas Stars did win the Presidents Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same year - 1999.
