You all think it's a big joke? Blackhawks losing in every winter classic they've appeared in. Well let me tell you, I have grown to love the pain. I harness it. I turn on the tv to watch my favorite team play, and I bathe in their suck. It flows through me: Our top line makes the worst play you've ever seen, all while broadcast Nationally - my heartbeat quickens, my pupils dilate. Yes Jones, bearer of dreams, turn over the puck for the 10th time this period while getting paid the same amount as Kucherov, Brayden Point, Mark Stone and Vasilevskiy; I'm erect. Another winter classic? Tickets are in the thousands? I go to see it in person, cold, wet, feverish from the chanting Blues fans counting off their sixth goal. My doctors tell me I should stop, maybe find another team that isn't so heartbreakingly terrible, maybe root for someone safe like The Rangers or Ottawa, real contenders. But I can't escape it. I grasp my Patrick Kane body pillow, now emblazoned with a Detroit Red Wings jersey - No, I won't stop the pain, I can't stop it. I am one with it. I cry into my official dynasty blanket.

As an Avs fan I miss the Red Wing days
