Christmas is now over and we have packed the tree away
We took care of this task only yesterday
The new year has officially finished its first inaugural week
My “Blackhawks” are hoping to extend their one game winning streak
The games have been hard to watch even though I am still a devoted fan
Looks like this franchise has decided to stick with their total rebuild plan
Last night they recorded just their ninth win of the season
I couldn’t get to sleep last night….could that have been the reason?
I been concentrating on watching sports sprinkled with a television series or two
I have been falling behind on both because of the snow shoveling we had to do
Fortunately we only have had to use the snow blower once this year
We have been able to keep the driveway nice and clear
Friends have highly recommended watching “Yellowstone” so we binge watched season one
We should easily catch up with the rest of them before the final episode is done
Meanwhile I only missed one game that our Canadian junior team had played
Still can’t believe all the moves that “Connor Bedard” has made
For a seventeen year old it is a major test
He passed it with flying colours on this epic quest
He led the tournament in scoring and also won MVP
The overtime goal he scored against “Slovakia” was amazing to see
He now holds the crown for Canadian hockey players in the scoring race
The former record holder “Eric Lindros” drops down to second place
“Bedard” has a five point edge and actually played five games less
This phenomenal athlete never ceases to impress
“Dylan Guenther” scored the overtime goal in Halifax for the championship which really rocked the joint
This showed how much depth this team had as “Connor Bedard” didn’t register a single point
He insisted on talking about the team when he was interviewed after the game
He hasn’t been drafted but is already a household name
This will be “Connor’s” draft year and he is destined to be first pick
When I look back at my “Hawks” record, I now don’t feel so sick
I know they are still floundering and things could possibly get worse
Do I want them to win? Yes I do of course!
There are so many rumours of “Kane” and “Toews” being shopped around
They are the last two “Stanley Cup” winners left in “Chicago” town
From what I am reading every player on this team is available for a trade
You have your choice of anyone of them if the right deal can be made
They are building for the future and draft picks are what they need
Get as many picks as you can in hopes for you to succeed
You no longer get the first pick when you finish last
This certainly was a benefit for team building in the past
The team with the least points still however have more chances to win
If we want to get this future superstar we have to go all in
Will we still end up in last place? We will have to wait and see
The best scenario is we get “Connor Bedard” the worse, we get pick number three
