In case you haven't figured it out I am a hugh Blackhawks fan. I had the pleasure of visiting Chicago for the Winter Classic 2009. Except for the final score, what an event. I have been to a MLB World Series game, been to NBA playoff games, NFL playoff games, no Super Bowl, that's next on my bucket list, been to several World Cup games, that would be soccer, and been to NHL playoff games, no Cup yet but also on the list. The atmosphere was beyond belief. Add into the mix Wrigley Field, a massive rivalry of the new and the old, sub-freezing weather, and the most insane sports fans of all sports, you had a perfect picture of what the NHL is desperately trying to put together.
I can only hope that next year it will be in the BRONX. It will allow all of the Rangers fans, who I truly believe are as loyal as all hockey fans, the opportunity to watch one of the coolest events ever put together.
My congrats to the NHL, they may have, at least for one day, put Hockey on the map. We can only hope that the sports interest will peak and others will enjoy the game as much as I do. GO Hawks!!!!
