For a long time I watch most every Hawk game, even before they were Cup worthy. As time went on and Bowman (somehow) made the team unnecessarily worse as well as slower at a time the league was getting faster and I became disillusioned. I didn't give a shit if they were perennial Cup contenders or not but they were not fun to watch. No speed, little in the way of skill, and constant reminders of terrible signings and ridiculous trades. Three kids in the fold also meant I had better and more important things to do with my time.
For the first time in a long time I can finally say this team is worth my time again. They aren't perfect, they likely won't even make the playoffs (trade every valuable asset for younger/future assets), but at least they are fun again. There is speed, there is talent (even outside Bedard), and there is something to look forward to again. I will never be able to watch as many Hawk games as I used (kids...other commitments) but at least I can now justify using some spare time to catch some games and invest my time.
I'm sure nobody gives a shit but it's good to be "back". I greatly missed seeing (watchable) Blackhawk hockey.
