When you’re home, you know it. For years and years he’s had the same colors and could pass on quick inspection. Yet the moment we are standing and cheering and are surrounded by sad and sitting fans, we’re outed. Devils’ fans in a Blackhawks’ world.
These last two days he is among his people. Every bar, restaurant, hotel room, and corner pharmacy has a logo within. He can walk proudly, toting every Devil scrap he owns.
We recognize the tribute to arguably the best goalie in history and get choked up taking it in.
We get lost in the fan store getting to touch every possible combo of Devil’s memorabilia you could imagine that we’ve only ever seen online.
We admire the sweeping images gracing The Rock. We marvel at the huge logo in the cement in the square, offset from the towering player statue seemingly carved out of rock.
We meander through an arena filled with new family and friends, even if just for a night.
We sit in our seats and take in the familiar sights and sounds and even colors. But those horns stand out and that camaraderie with fellow fans just can’t be beat.
Devil’s fans in a Devil’s world.
Live, Love, Teach 
You guys are having so much fun! Glad you could get away for a bit. There’s nothing like the camaraderie that’s felt at a sporting event when you really, really love the team!!!!! Love the picture!
Absolutely nothing better than being at home for your favorite teams. Love the way this slice makes me feel. Happy!! 🙂
I can just imagine your husband’s excitement and see the smile on his face. My husband was in his glory two years ago when we r at a Miami Dolphins game. He was a kid in a candy shop walking around the stadium and in the gift shop. Glad to hear you guys are having a great time.
Oh boy. That will be one day. Dolphin fans in the Midwest. Lol. Our teal and orange basement and tribute tattoo can attest.
