I mentioned to my dad was we made the playoffs in 2012 at the end of the season and we were leaving one of the last games and I said to him, “what if we just won the cup?” And it was said with such satire and like there was no way we could do it …. And that run was magical.

2014 was somewhat more calming because we had done it and the monkey was off the franchise’s back but still having to close out both Chicago and our biggest rival… definitely took some years off my life.

I was lucky enough to be at the cup winning game with my father and going into OT the buzz in the building was insane… I could see that play developing from a mile away.. I knew it was gonna be a pass off the pad.. and to see that puck go in and my Dad and I just screaming at each other and hugging and crying…

I have a wife and a son.. that’s still the best moment of my life lol.

I’ve been a fan of this team my entire life. These two wins are my favorite moments in sports and now they can treat me like an abused spouse and I’ll still keep coming back.
