non-ecumenical ramblings

The first pro teams i rooted for were the Lakers & Blackhawks - the perenniel bridesmaids. The first NBA finals i watched was the Lakers losing in 7 back in 1970; the first Stanley Cup finals was the Blackhawks losing in 6 back in 1971. The Lakers have won 10 championships since then, but the Blackhawks had to wait another 39 years after the Lakers finally broke the string to be bridesmaids no more.
