Old Time Hockey
Comments (2)Hey Chicago sports fans. Thanks for stopping by. I’m new at this writing stuff, so give me a shout out when I do or say something you don’t like, which might be often. If I accidentally get it right once in a while let me know that too. I don’t follow the rest of the NHL a lot, just the Hawks. The same goes for the Wolves. So if you expect to read about Crosby, Iginla, Luongo, or Ovechkin, sorry. Unless the Hawks are playing against them, or they impact the Chicago sports scene in some way, you probably won’t ever see their names in my stories. I’ll probably showcase the Hawks more than the Wolves, not because they aren’t a class act, but because I’m a bigger fan of the Hawks.
Here’s what you can expect from me. I’m an unabashed homer. I’m not dumb enough to think the Hawks or Wolves are the best teams out there. I just don’t care to give another team their props. For instance, I might have to tell you if the Red Wings outplayed the Hawks in the Western Conference finals some day, but I won’t be there to congratulate the “Dead Things” if it comes to that. Let their fans do that, not me.
Don’t expect me to provide a play by play account of games. Do expect to get my opinions and comments. I’ll boost the Blackhawks and Wolves as long they give an honest effort. I might not be happy with a losing team, but I can respect a team that might be short on talent but puts their heart into the game. Win or lose I’ll still cheer for them. I’ll probably tell you if I spot trends, like a player that seems selfish like Havlat was at times, or a player that seems to get better in crunch time, like Seabrook’s play lately. Read More
