If you have an urge to scream and yell whenever you hear “The Star Spangled Banner” (that’s the appropriate response, right?)…
If you compare every other anthem singer to Jim Cornelison and find them sorely lacking (breaking glasses is a pretty neat trick, no?)…
If your go-to term when something is awesome is “Hawks win!” (“hey man, I just got a promotion.” “That’s freakin’ Hawkswin!”)…
If you find yourself in a sticky situation and wonder what would Jonathan Toews do (be serious?)…
If you find yourself in a party situation and wonder what would Patrick Kane do (unicorn mask?)…
If you think it’s normal for the visiting team to have at least as many fans in the stands as the home team (as long as they aren’t visiting the UC – how I love hearing “Let’s go Hawks” when they’re the visitors)…
If you you know which teams have former Blackhawks players on them and find yourself especially rooting for them (when they aren’t playing the Hawks – I’ve got an especially soft spot for Winnipeg now that they’ve got Byfuglien and Frolik)…
If you you know which teams have former Blackhawks players on them and find yourself especially rooting against them (when they aren’t playing the Hawks – not even a former Blackhawk could get me to root for the Canucks)…
If you find yourself more than a bit conflicted about the Olympics (U-S-A, all the way! Oh, wait, maybe Canada? But Sweden’s got a sweet defensive pairing, and there’s Slovakia, you can’t rule them out with Hoss on board, and then there’s the Czech Republic)…
If you get vaguely disappointed when no one points out when there are “tree minutes left in the tird period”…
If you find yourself celebrating those Hawkswin moments in your life by singing the beginning of “Chelsea Dagger“…
