Quiz: 'Die-Hard' or 'Bandwagon' Blackhawks Fan?

The Chicago Blackhawks are on their way to the Stanley Cup Championship finals. The team faces the Boston Bruins for Game 1 at 7 p.m. Wednesday, at the United Center in Chicago. 

It's been three years since the Blackhawks beat the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Stanley Cup Championship in 2010. An estimated 2 millions fans welcomed the team home during the celebration parade in Chicago - a surprise to the players and hockey fans alike.

It's not unusual for folks to jump on the proverbial fan bandwagon when a team starts winning. However, is it possible the Blackhawks team maintained its huge fan base created in 2010?

So, where do you fall? Are you a die-hard, or bandwagon Chicago Blackhawks fan?
