Chicago vs Tampa Bay

Nisheet and I decided to move to Florida around the same time the Blackhawks crushed the Lightening (sorry TB…maybe next year), so when I googled “Chicago vs Tampa Bay”, the first 10 pages of results were all about hockey. Now that we have lived here for a few weeks, we have come up with our very own smack-down list that I wish I had thought of before we moved (not that it would have changed our mind). I’m sure the list will grow after we have been here longer, so stay tuned for updates.

Disclaimer: No, the list isn’t factual and yes, I might have exaggerated a wee bit.
