I'll probably miss most if not all of this game, but Cynosure's asked me to spread some of my good luck over here!

 

LET'S GO BLACKHAWKS!

Thanks, R-Train!

Yea, this is the best those inbreds could come up with over 500 posts. Well I mean... if it was a normal, functional city like Chicago... maybe the inhabitants would have enough brain cells to come with clever/witty photoshops...

 

 

But I mean... it's DATOILET.... they are all unemployed and OBVIOUSLY unskilled in PhotoShop and common sense... why are they even allowed to be a part of the United States, again?

Just because I tend to get a little emotional, I will not be here much during the games. I would hate for me and cyno to getted banned!! I will be a gentleman before and after the games

 

There is something very wrong about a red wings hat on pujols

[bcl412]

Can't watch because I have to work. This pisses me off. Oh well, Go Hawks anyways.

[Exile on Waveland]

I have a grand total of two friends that are hockey fans. They're both Red Wings fans.

 

 

Anyway, after that near non sequitur, GO 'HAWKS!

The Tribune Sports section is nothing short of awesome!

[Cynosure]

Not to be stuck in the past, but this is HILARIOUS:

 

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hnicplayoff/2009/05/canucks_let_late_leads_evapora.html

 

Mocking tone

 

Kris Versteeg scored a power-play goal to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead in the second period and celebrated with Canucks forward Alex Burrows's favourite move - the bow and arrow.

 

The move is immortalized on a T-shirt dedicated to the memory of Canucks defenceman Luc Bourdon, who passed away last summer in a motorcycle accident. Bourdon used the move in his rookie year with the Canucks. Burrows has been using the celebration all season long, as a tribute to his best friend.

 

 

Canucks fans and Vancouver TV/Newspaper outlets were OUTRAGED about it... here is CBC's "response".

 

 

CBC NEWSFLASH

**************

 

Vancouver: IOC Officials have confirmed that archery will be removed as an Olympic Sport at all future Olympic games as not to offend Vancouver Canucks fans. Apparently, for the first time in recorded history, the act of pretending to shoot an arrow, will now be the exclusive intellectual property of the golf entusiast Alexandre Burrows.

 

In other news, racist comments towards opposing black hockey players will continue to be the norm over at the Canucks.com message boards.

 

The Department of Homeland Irony has raised it's warning level to red after reading the IOC report.

 

Here is the thread discussing the situation, look how racist those idiots are: http://forum.canucks.com/index.php?showtopic=236082&st=0

 

IN REALITY... as none of these Canadian journalists bothered doing any research... Versteeg was doing the Usain Bolt pose...

 

http://static.guim.co.uk/Guardian/sport/gallery/2008/aug/22/olympics20081/GD8496398@Jamaica%27s-Usain-Bolt--5183.jpg

 

Some of my favorite quotes from that thread:

 

About how classless and dirty Versteeg is:

 

Anyway, I'll never look at Versteeg the same way, he's right up there with all the other guys I have no respect for, boogard, avery, simon, iginla (flame me for that one if you want...)... but seriously. It WAS low, and Hawks fans can defend it all they want.....and that's your perogative, but I don't think you're right.

 

About the hair pulling incident:

 

LMAO. You sir, are a freaking weiner. I think the majority of the world has forgotten about the incident with Keith, and Keith was just as dirty in that fight as Burrows was.

Anyone ever bet on hockey before?

[ChiCubsFan]

Ok I tried this on a few MB's including the Black Hawks board but here goes. I'll be in Chicago May 27-30. I am looking for bars that would be considered hockey bars. I'm sorry but just because you are showing the Blackhawks now that doesn't make you a hockey bar. I am not a Blackhawks fans (Wild fan) but am a hockey fan and have been cheering for the Blackhawks all post season. I basically want to go to a bar where other good hockey fans are at. My main reason for this trip is to see the Cubs and am staying in the Lakeview area. I will take trains and buses to a good hockey bar. My guess is all the sports bars in Wrigleyville would show the game but once again just because you show the game doesn't make you hockey friendly bar. I know there are a few on here that are passionate hockey fans and any help would be appreciated.

Let's put it this way. After I got out of the Hawks game on monday night, I immediately drove to a random Wrigleyville bar (Rebel, not that this matters). Upon my entering the bar almost 45 minutes after the game had ended, my friends (7 of them) orchestrated a 35-40 person chanting session/high five line for me and the girl that went to the game with me, followed by everyone in the bar taking multiple shots together. Then everyone proceeded to watch the highlights on CSN and crap themselves all over again.

 

If you go to ANY decent bar, there will be people going nuts over the Blackhawks game. I guarantee it. Pick a bar you like and don't worry about whether its a hockey bar

 

This is so true. This city is going crazy over hockey. I was at this shitty bar last monday because they sponsor our softball team and everyone in there was going nuts. The city just can't get enough of the hawks right now. Maybe its mostly fair weather fans, but with the way the ownership screwed over the "casual fan" years ago, it's understandable. I think blackhawk fever is here to stay. Pick any bar, and it's gonna be rowdy as hell. I wish I wasn't gonna be in Alaska this week.

That explains why I couldn't find it on the guide, that's not HD so I didn't check down there on the guide. Thanks.

[Cynosure]

I'm getting really nervous... I'm really not ready for Blackhawks hockey to be over for the summer before it has to be :(

[Mark_R]

I am literally dancing to Chelsea Dagger right now. Just got done watching the third period of game 6.

 

DE-TROIT SUCKS!!!

 

GO HAWKS!
