It’s OK
Hello- How are you? I am fine. No, really. I am fine. I. Have. No. Twitches. Based. On. Anything. Red. Wings. Related. Background you ask? Well I am a four time Stanley Cup Champion. I have been to the playoffs 24 years in a row. I have won six conference Championships and the Presidents Trophy six times as well. What else? 16 Division Championships, Cool. March 26th 1997. Yea I was there, anything else you need to know about my background. Well I am 35 and have been a Red Wings fan since 1990. Was I a player or a coach or any part of the team during those years? No. The 19 people who are reading this understand. To be a Red Wings fan is to be......No not to be. It is life. I remember the Dead Wings. It wasn’t essential in my life at the time but I remember it. My first real memories are watching Steve Yzerman play on Play (Comcast Play?) Network. It was fuzzy. Maybe it was CBC. Rock 'em Sock 'em Hockey with Don Cherry. However, my first real emotion was 1995. The stupid lockout or strike or whatever. It sucked. I WANTED my Red Wings. I was 14. I got my wish and we destroyed the league. Awesome. And then we met the New Jersey Devils. Wow. 4 games, really? That was emotion to the 10th level. I won’t go through anything past '95 because once again, the 19 know it. When you fall in love with, well, anything at 14/15 it sticks with you for life. No matter how much it breaks your heart. Just ask the girl I was in love with at 15. I still talk to her even though she is married with three kids.
