How can we still be proud to root for the Blackhawks?

Being a fan of Chicago's hockey team had become a source of pride. Now we figure out what's next since things aren't so simple.

I love the Chicago Blackhawks. I love watching them play, I love talking about them with friends and strangers. I love knowing that, when I give them my time, my attention, my passion, they'll respond in kind by making it worthwhile. Fandom is so rarely as good as it's been as a Blackhawks fan.

Or at least, that's how it used to feel.

Then I found myself Saturday watching a rerun of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
