Blackhawks

For our blog about anything, I thought I would write about the Chicago Blackhawks. I grew up watching hawks games with my dad and siblings and they are the only sports team I try to watch every game for. College makes things hard since we do not get all the channels the games are on, but at home my whole family sits down to watch every game. I cannot tell you how crazy my family and friends went during the playoffs two years ago when they won the Stanley Cup. I went to see the cup twice when it came to places around my town. My uncle has season tickets so we go to their games as often as we can.

My favorite player without a doubt is Marian Hossa and I even have one of his customized jerseys. He is my favorite since he was born in Slovakia and because he is one of the best players in the game. As for our season this year, anyone who has been following the hawks will understand the we have looked better, for those of you that don’t know, every year we have a nine game away streak and we are almost halfway through. We were looking like some real contenders for the cup this year but then we went and lost six games in a row. This is the second year in a row that we have started making things more difficult for ourselves on the rush to the playoffs. Despite having two of the best defensemen in the game, Keith and Seabrook, our defense has been loosing game after game, with no stellar performances from either of our goalies, Crawford and Emery.

Even with no shutouts this year, I will never loose faith in these boys and we still have plenty of games to get our act back together and show them what we’ve in the playoffs. Here’s hoping for the cup this year. P.S. Vancouver sucks. (328)
