thankfully I've never lost a team I adore and grew up with like that..  so much of who you are, memories with dad, all the kind of stuff just sort of gets flushed.  The business of today's sport's world...  good thing I was never a Seattle SuperSonics fan..talk about f**king a city, and fanbase,  for cash. Ouch...

in the NFC North (aka the Norris Division haha).. anything is possible. Though that..err.. yeah.. is a stretch I suppose.  At least things could only get better there....

I had such a strong dislike for Chris Chelios during his Black Hawk years, I never really came to terms with him being a Red Wing.  He was a good defenseman and a good edition to the Wings, but he was always such a crybaby.

Basil  McRae.....the guy is just going back and forth across the ice looking for someone to tee off with...

He was a true Hanson brother
