Run-In With A Wee Sharks Fan

Today, to commemorate the Chicago Blackhawk’s first playoff series victory since 1996, I decided to wear my Blackhawks jersey. In the mornings I walk Bailey to her line at school and as I was standing there with her this morning, a kid who I’m guessing was in third or fourth grade came up to me and the following conversation began:

Kid: “Are you a Blackhawks fan?”

Me: “Sure am!” Kid proceeds to glare at me in a I’m-just-messing-with-you sort of way

Me: “I take it you’re a Sharks fan…?”

Kid: Still scowling at me “Yes I am! Did YOU go to a game this season?”

Me: “Nope”

Kid: “I did…”

Me: “Who’d they play?”

Kid: “The Sharks played the Blackhawks”

Me: “Oh yeah? And who won that game?”

Kid: Stops scowling and thinks for a second “The Blackhawks!”

Kid smiles at me, then scowls again and runs off

Sorry, kid. I know it sucks to have your team end up losing quicker than the Blackhawks, but that’s the way it goes some seasons!

  2. Considering that the Blackhawks were one of the original NHL teams, they were bound to have a good season eventually.
