Even though Mom and brother Bob could care less in North Carolina, around here, the Blackhawks playing in the Stanley Cup Finals is big news. Folks are getting ready for tonight's third game in Boston versus the Bruins.
Haven't determined where I'll see it: Tommy's, Antonio's or Route 12 Bar as we can't get the game on our cable system, that lousy old Mediacom. Mom and Bob, however, do get NBC Sports and could watch it, but won't be watching.
We've seen the last several games at Tommy's here in Spring Grove, even the ones on regular old NBC. It's more fun to see the games with a bunch of fans cheering and yelling (like we do with Bears games during football season).
And, then, there are all the superstitious things going on. I have my lucky Blackhawks shirt and hat with the American Legion poppy I got before the playoff game we watched in Indianapolis the night before the Indy 500. (We also watched playoff games in Dixon, Illinois, and I saw several in North Carolina.)
Liz has two lucky tee shirts. Friend Kenny has a car flag (as well as about 15 Hawks jerseys) and a Blackhawk doll. He didn't have the flag up on his car Saturday and touched the doll (bad luck if you touch it) so it is HIS FAULT we lost Saturday night, well that and the Hawks are pitiful when they get a power play.
We're hoping that we don't have to go to Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks and watch the very last game. That's where we were back when the Hawks won the Cup in 2010.
Anyway, GO HAWKS!!-- RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
