Well fellow Blackhawks fans, it's official. We are the 2010 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!
Even days later, i still can't believe the team i love are the champs. Watching this team all season long we knew they were a special bunch. One of my favorite moments of the season just so happened to be a game i was at. My friends and i were at the Flames game where we were down 5 goals. We came back to win it in OT (a Seabrook game winner!) i remember sitting with my friends and thinking this team is scary good. Every fan thinks their team can (and will) win a championship but as i sat there and watched the Hawks slowly come back to tie up the game i just knew that this year was special, this team was special and i was watching something special happen on the West Side.
From being at the preseason game vs the Capitals in September to the Championship Parade/Rally on Friday, and every moment in between....i have truly enjoyed and have had the best 9 months of my life. Every single one of the guys on this Blackhawks team will have a special place in my heart. I'll look back on this championship and tell my kids how the Blackhawks took over this city. How there were 2 million people at their parade. How Duncan Keith took a puck to the mouth, lost 7 teeth and missed only a few shifts. How 'Byfuglien' went from an obscure name to a household name. How Niemi won the job from a veteran and SAID NO! How Jonathan Toews won the Conn Smythe. How Patrick Kane scored a goal with 13 seconds left to tie up a game. How the Hawks killed off a 5 min major and Hossa won the game. How Seabrook took a hit to the head from a friend. How unlikely guys like Eager, Sopel & Kopecky scored HUGE goals. How Brouwer played despite a sick father. How Hossa proved there was no "Hossa Curse". And most importantly how this Blackhawks team made hockey in Chicago a relevant sport again. It may have never left......but it sure has returned.
The United Center went from less than half full to a full capacity crowd with 100+ sellouts. This season has honestly been so amazing. And i love that my friends and i were there to experience it from day 1 of the season. From 20+ games, to a roadtrip, to Hawks Convention, to hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on merchandise........i have memories that will last me a lifetime. So to all my fellow Blackhawks fans, enjoy this time and congrats! I'll see you all at Hawks Convention next month!
