The All-Star break couldn't get here fast enough.
The Blackhawks and their fans braved the worst winter storm since the last one to face off against the team that people who are stuck in the past refer to as "Blackhawks South" but who are officially called the Florida Panthers. See, they have a few players that used to be on the Blackhawks. One such player is Brian Campbell who makes a lot of money and was judged harshly for it instead of being judged for his hockey ability which is ample. Another player is Kris Versteeg who you might remember from such films as "I Will Carry This Goddamn Puck Across the Blueline Myself" and "Skullet: A Tribute to Rihanna From a Balding, Tiny White Person". Seriously, I think I saw Kris Versteeg on the undercard at Summerslam '88. There are a few other players who used to ply their trade here in Chicago but the only one I'll mention is Jack Skille who is absolutely terrible.
When a team isn't playing that well, they allow a team on the skids to come into their building and steal a point or two. When a team is kind of treading water, they play just well enough to win.
So what are you doing February 3rd? It's a Friday night, and the Hawks will be up in Calgary, a city known for being colder than brass monkey balls.
Everyone relax.
