Not Another Loser Team

And another one.  The Hawks can add another tally in the win box after Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, resulting in the Hawk's win 5-3.  While Tampa only had Steve Stamkos to count on for all of their goals, the Blackhawks worked together and had Keith, Bolland, Kane and Toews scoring for them.  

Perhaps Tampa could learn a thing or two about teamwork and what it takes to win from a team that fits perfectly together.  The Hawks currently are holding the position as fourth best in the nation, with a 95 goals on the road!  And the excitement will continue on tonight as the Blackhawks face the Florida Panthers tonight.

I think that all of Chicago should be rooting for the Hawks right now with everything they got!  Here is finally a Chicago team that we Chicagoans can actually be proud of.  The Cubs were a let down, again, for the 100th year in a row.  The Soxs teased us and then let us down as usual.  And the Bears continued to crush little kid's dreams another year in a row.  

Now I'm not trying to totally bash Chicago and their lack of ability to be good in sports.  But as a die hard Cubs, Bears, and Hawks fan it has been a very disappointing year for me.  Once again.  But luckily me and the rest of Chicago has a hockey team that has been doing anything but disappointing its' fans.

I think the other Chicago teams could take some pointers from a team that gives a crowd what they want; excitement and a win.  Go to a Hawks game and there isn't a dull moment, and you can actually leave the venue happy.  Because unlike Soldier Field, Cellular Field, or Wrigley, you will be leaving with another tally marked in the win box!

Check out a preview of  the Blackhawks vs. Panthers tonight.
