Back in the grimy and dangerous days of ILX, I got yellowcarded for mentioning hockey, so you kids should count yourselves lucky.

blackhawks have been great for awhile now and lots of people I know from back home are really really into them (they are def more popular than the Bulls locally) and I've tried to will myself into digging hockey but just can't do it

the sport itself is pretty boring but it doesn't help that typical BHawks fan as far as I can tell is a racist mook

Adam Lauridsen sums up how I feel today:
I’m just happy to be here. Who wouldn’t be after the last 40 years? Whether it’s Chris Cohan and Robert Rowell, Latrell Sprewell and PJ Carlesimo, Chris Washburn and Chris Porter, Chris Webber and Don Nelson, Monta Ellis and the moped, Byron Houston and Jason Caffey, or Todd Fuller and Patrick O’Bryant, this fanbase has suffered through enough trauma for even the most masochistic sports fan. Making it to the Finals isn’t a dream come true, because my dreams as a Warriors fan didn’t even extend this far until very recently. When Game 1 of the NBA Finals tips off on Thursday, it will all be surreal, and this season will be an unqualified success no matter what happens next. Fortunately, unlike me, the Warriors players aren’t just happy to be here.I’m not one for drawing lines between old and new fans of sports teams — we all have to start our love of a team somewhere, at some special moment — but there has been one telltale sign I’ve noticed between recent converts to the Warriors’ winning ways and those who have been dragged to this point by years of thankless loyalty. The newer fans celebrate the Warriors’ advancement to the Finals with giddy excitement. The dominant emotion among long-suffering fans is dazed bewilderment. This team — with the NBA’s best record, the MVP, the Executive of the Year and nearly the Coach of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year — is unrecognizable. They’ve inverted all the typical Warriors’ faults — poor drafting, me-first hero ball, rigid coaching, matador defense — and excelled at doing things the right way. I have years’ worth of muscle memory trained to expect the worst, but with this team, the breaks (so far) have almost all gone our way. I alternate between incredulity and euphoria.
