I think it was said best as the people of New Orleans were celebrating the Saints first advancement to the Super Bowl, “Never has there been a city so closely tied to a team.” The excitement and passion of Saints fans bled through the TV, and I found myself yelling out loud, almost convincing those around me that I was a part of that crowd (and I wish I was...did you see the partying that was happening on Bourbon Street?).

Both the Blackhawks and Senators entered Tuesday night’s game riding on a three game winning streak. Unfortunately, the Blackhawks had theirs snapped, losing to the Senators 4 to 1. After the game, Coach Q said, “It wasn’t our best game…over the course of the year that might have been one that was at the bottom of the heap.”

“Does anybody else feel like they are moving in slow motion?”
