I've been saying this for 15 years, and lost count of how many idiots told me "It'll never happen."
"Winnipeg is too small a market"
"Forget it, they're never coming back and you're an idiot for thinking it"
Looks like I get the last laugh.

Not now, but 6 or more weeks ago definitely. Everyone was focused on Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Washington, DETROIT, etc. Out of all the hockey threads I posted in I recall that I'm the only one who was saying they were backing the Blackhawks. So I could only assume that not many here were holding any thoughts of them winning... except me.
They finished well in the regular season standings but I wasn't hearing much banter about them winning it, not until a few weeks ago anyway. The real men of the prediction world made their predictions a month before that though. Like me. Ladies, look at your man, now back to me. Now back at your man, now BACK to ME. Sadly, he isn't me.
I'm on a horse.
:D
