Well, they had to come to an end, eventually. And while of course I was disappointed that the U.S. hockey team didn't get the gold, they got silver, and that's something to be proud of. That final game was outstanding, couldn't ask for a more exciting final game.
And now the NHL season resumes, with approximately six weeks left in the regular season before the playoffs for the Stanley Cup.
As the teams welcome their players back, they honor their Olympians, and Chicago was no exception.
Before their game against the Edmunton Oilers, the Blackhawk Olympians were recognized. The cheering for the hometown boys was deafening. And although the fans briefly booed at the reminder of the loss to the Canadian team (come on! get over it), the fans couldn't be prouder of ALL of the players and how well they did in the Olympics, with Patrick Kane and team Captain Jonathan Toews getting the loudest cheers of all.
This picture is especially for my Canadian friends:
Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith were on the Canadian hockey team and played great.
One of these days I'll, oh, I don't know, win the lottery or something, and actually get to sit down on the glass, instead of up in the nosebleed section and rely on my telephoto lens. :)
Onward to the Stanley Cup!
