Back in the early 2000s, my wife Hope and I had just met.
I've been meaning to write this blog for a couple of years now, and I've never done it. Maybe it's because I participated, in earnest, so many times. Maybe it's because when I see the Winged Wheel on the Detroit sweaters, I just want to blurt it out. Well, not anymore.
espite all the speculation, rumors and wild dreams of the fan base, Stan Bowman and the Blackhawks decided to keep their roster intact, and not make a trade deadline deal.

When you look back on it, the 2011-2012 Blackhawks season was a pretty forgettable one.
As the hours, then the minutes before the NHL Trade Deadline ticked away, Hawks fans everywhere were getting more and more uneasy. "Would General Manager Stan Bowman make a move?" "The Hawks have so many holes...they need at least a defenseman and a center."
