Way to kill the blackhawks/Schwarber callup high lol

It doesn't appear that it needs to be phantom

I just landed at O'Hare...on the approach to The airport we flew almost right over Wrigley. Holy [expletive] that scoreboard is so big you can make out high level what's on it from 8-9k feet up.

Damn the Riz is "only" hitting .304

You're aware they have 2 Wild Cards now right? And that the Cubs currently hold one of those spots?

Is Oduya really gone? Depends on how much he is going for but I think we might be able to keep him.

Thank you guys for having me in stitches sitting in a crowded airport

This is something I wrote awhile to explain why the fan base bottomed out more than "they sucked". Id post it there but I'm lazy To defend the fan base. Pretend you are a Yankees fan. Pretend Steinbrenner took all home games off of TV. Pretend that over the course of several years, they destroyed the relationship with every one of the team’s stars, and then when it came time to resign them, traded them for 80 cents on the dollar. Then those guys contracts expired and they were traded for 80 center on the dollar. Then pretend that the Yankees alienated guys like Rivera, Jeter, Posada, Yogi Berra, pretty much every former legend that you grew up watching or hearing that was a source of pride for the organization to the point where they did not want to be associated with the team in any capacity. Pretend that Michael Kay was kicked to the curb when he offered light criticism of how the team was run, and was so loyal to New York that he took a job with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Then pretend that despite all this season ticket prices skyrocketed. Pretend that the payroll dropped every year, and that Steinbrenner showed no sign of changing with the times, stubbornly insisting this was the way to run a baseball team even though every other team ran things differently with better results. Pretend that you had to actually hope that a person dies because you wanted to see your favorite team have a shred of dignity, you weren’t even hoping to contend, you just wanted something to be proud of rooting for. Pretend that you loved baseball so much but couldn’t stand to support the Yankees, so you bought seaseon tickets to the Cyclones just so you could root for a baseball team, all while keeping an eye on your real love from afar.

Man I remember in late February when the Hawks were on a slide, one blowout loss in particular to Boston was jarring. There were rumors about Patrick Sharp and the locker room splintering, then Kane goes down for what was thought to be 8-12 weeks. It really seemed like the team was starting to fall apart. Of course that goes to show you how overrated the regular season is when you are an elite team that has won multiple titles. In the end it was a blip in a 10 month journey to a championship.

Wakey wakey conn smythe

Apparently the cup is delayed getting to UC because of the floods...wtf

It was like Desjardins just decided things were going too well and wanted to make things less comfortable

God this is so awesome. Finish this off. First 2 goal lead in the series comes with 5 mins left in game 6

There's the Chelsea Dagger!

This is really rough. Clock moving so slow.

Amazing

Umm Schwarber to Cubs?

Or could be 2-0 Chicago with their 1st period chances. That's hockey baby

Jesus Teuvo complete a damn pass

Please win tonight. I really want to change this thread title as it's been this way since October. I'm like more anxious/nervous than I was the last 2 game 6's. I think it's because the last 2 times we always had a home game to fall back on for game 7. And while home ice doesn't seem to matter that much (if the Lightning win both teams will be 2-1 on the road in the series...the Lightning have a great road playoff record and a below .500 record at home, the Hawks just won a game 7 on the road 2 weeks ago, etc) Id still rather our last bullet be at home.

Like even if you were a royals fan dedicated to getting as many in as possible, shouldn't you hate Infante enough to not follow through on voting for him? Like I don't want to see David Ross playing in my teams games so I certainly dont want to see him representing the team in the all star game.

please score 10 in the first and then have jake pitch a 2 hour gem so Cubs fans at the game can get in on the potential hawks celebrations.

Awesome. He's starting to heat up

Love the motivation of showing Jaxon warming up. But seriously who is really coming in if the Cubs don't score?
