Does no one hold reverent the fact that they are our rivals? Does no one in Michigan draw ire when their crowds chant Detroit sucks? DOES NO SON OR DAUGHTER OF BLUE COLLAR SWEAT AND TOIL WANT MISERY FOR HOSSA FOR WEARING OUR COLORS BUT NOT BLEEDING THEM!!! To those raised in the moraines, by the factory stacks, on the shores, or any who actually care about Hockey in its purest form and of its roots, do not root for Chicago. Even if you have enjoyed their majestic city and their hospitality whilst collecting your tourist money, root not for Chicago not on ice, for they would not do the same for you.
We have rebuilt their city with our timber, we have built the cars that travel all the roads that lead through Chicago, and we have all pulled for their Cubs to be freed from embarrassment as we would for the Lions. They would not even undo the selfish acts that threaten the lively hood of our lakes with Asian carp and various invasive species, and still there are amongst us those that root for their success. When it comes to our histories, we have ebbed and flowed with them in importance and glory, to which they have emerged superior for now. Yet ON ICE, we SHALL NEVER YIELD TO THESE HAWKS!!! 11 is greater than 3, and even with the leagues desire to see that number grow to four we shall out number them in all aspects of the game. As they try to steal our system, our players, our management, and our success, they cannot steal our sportsmanship, honor, and glory.
Most of all we shall out number them in class, as we never chant Chicago sucks. Class is important to me, and our organization is rich as such. Class is not an issue here, we true fans of the house Howe built, we who know Ted Lindsay was a true MVP, and we who know that while many might wear the C or 19 only one man can be called Captain, we know Chicago is not our friend. Hossa deserves no cup, Kane punches cabbies over 60 cents, and Toewes can NEVER be Yzerman, we know not to root for those Blackhawks.
Indeed, we know that there is NO ONE that they shall play to make us root for them to win Le Coup de Stanley, except Sidney Crybaby, of course. You have been schooled, and if you doubt me, go ask Dr. Cox. The Second City is no Hockeytown, let them stick to blowing Winds and meatpacking. There are those who try to argue this with me, and I say what would your grandfather think assuming he enjoyed hockey. What would your father think? What would you think if you watched the last twenty years of Red Wings hockey without being fair-weathered? The answer is that for someone that Detroit does not suck, nor does Chicago. I do not expect them to root for us, and I do not expect you to root for them.
If you don't believe me
