>>BlackHawks! My condolences. <g> And I thought I had it bad as a Bears fan! I never got into Hockey, (I guess I could only take SO MUCH disappointment)

>What? Are you a Cubs fan too? Hey, Bears are gonna be pretty good this year. We know they'll be able to score (who ever thought they'd say that about the Bears?) and they've tried to upgrade the defense. Last year's 6-10 could've been 10-6 with a few breaks. I'll be surprised if they don't at least contend for a playoff spot. I wouldn't be surprised at all for them to be in the playoffs. IOW, I'm setting myself up for disappointment.

Did it show? (Don't tell anyone, but I like both teams about the same -- Cubs over Sox when they play each other) Until a few years ago that didn't matter.

Yeah, the Bears show promise. Like many years. I just pray the kicking game isn't SUCH a big factor this year. That doesn't seem to have improved. Kevin?? Butthead?? Where are you when we need you?
