The last couple days have been…mellow to say the least. There has been something missing. There is no anticipation. No getting butterflies as you go about your day. No need to hurry up after work and get dinner on the table. Because there are no more Chicago Blackhawks games. No more pacing. No more, “I’m not sure if my heart can take this!”. No more double overtimes, no more Game 7’s.
Yep, the Chicago Blackhawks have made an early exit this year, losing to the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the playoffs. It’s easy to understand why fans are in denial.
