Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!
17 Seconds replied to chuckywang's topic in Other Sports
Every time the "Congratulations Chicago fans, your Blackhawks are 2010 Stanley Cup Champions" commercial for the championship gear comes on to NHLN, it sinks in. When the playoffs were happening, you just keep getting closer and closer that you forget how hard it is to do it and how long it takes. When it happened it felt more like we just beat the FLyers, when really we had just beaten the entire NHL. I think I might go over the playoff highlights again tonight to distract me from the Bulls offseason fail. -
Adande was saying the Bulls played up that angle during the meeting too. Who knows if it's true, but I'd hope not.
-
Even better. Now let's hope Lebron comes to Chicago or goes to rot in NY or NJ. All the other contracts that have been agreed upon have had the contract details released pretty much right away. All except the Wade/Bosh ones All this NY stuff is publicity to pump up the ratings of his special. I'm about 90% sure he was going to Miami. That's what I thought last night after Bosh's tweet and the announcement from LeBron.

Who said anything about 60 wins? I see no reason to think they can't win 50 to 55. They should be in the hunt for a top 4 seed in the playoffs. Right now Boston and Orlando r prob better but other than those 2 I don't see a team clearly better than the Bulls especially if theu get a shooter. You said you'd put them against any other team in the east. That sounds like a 60 win team to me. I'd put the Heat, Celtics, and Magic as better, and the Bulls probably on the same level as the Hawks and Bucks. I know you don't actually believe this.

JA Adande was on espn radio saying the Bulls presentation bombed and they talked too much about trying to fill Jordan's shoes or something I never really understood the whole shoe in a box thing. I'd want to be refuting the claims that he'll constantly be compared with Jordan here, not reinforce them

Classy Using your kids for basketball leverage? I know, classy lol what leverage, exactly? Probably to get LeBron to join them in Miami (which probably worked)

And [expletive] D-Wade. That guy was playing Chicago all along. All about the kids, right Dwyane? I hope his ex-wife gets custody.
-
If LeBron wasn't going to Miami, why aren't the releasing the contract details on Wade/Bosh? They're all going to the Heat.
-
You think Carlos Boozer + 3 point shooter + young guy development - Hinrich - Miller = 20 game improvement? you really need to stop trolling the bulls thread
-
I don't know.... the more I think about it, I don't think it's the Knicks. I just can't get past Bosh's twitter comment and then the LeBron news like 3 hours later. I think they're going somewhere together, and that would eliminate NY. I think it's the Heat, Bulls,or Nets. If you don't believe the superteam possibilty, then I think we're in good shape. So, do you believe the Heat possibilty?
-
also, there's this
-
I think Miami is the least likely, because LeBron would be completely upstaging Wade by holding his own special. "I'm going to Miami... oh and by the way, Wade is re-signing too." *Wade emerges from shadows with Chris Bosh to join LeBron on stage*
-
50% Miami 30% NY 20% Chicago
-
I'm just hoping they don't all go to Miami and that we can get Boozer over Lee

Can;t they do it even with Beasley?
-
They can all get the max, right?
-
Doing an ESPN special would be the PERFECT place to announce a superteam And nobody knows where this is being held yet
-
Okay, I'm thinking it all over and I'm convinced these dudes are going to Miami - Summit happens, Bosh and Wade are commited to doing the trio thing in Miami.... LeBron insure and gives them a "maybe" - During FA, we see the empty chair picture from Bosh's twitter, essentiualy saying "C'mon LeBron, we know you're considering it... " - LeBron still wants to go to Cleveland, but only if he can get bosh - Bosh holds out, refuses to go to Cleveland (because it's Cleveland) - LeBron knows he won't win anything in Cle without serious help, decides to go for the Miami thing, informs Wade and Bosh - Bosh tweets "today is a GREAT day" (The superteam in Miami was his number one choice all long, finally getting what he wanted) - Hours later, we hear that LeBron is prepared to announce his decision - Minutes later, we get an article of a conference call between the 3 schedule for tomorrow, theoretically to hash out the details Read all that in order, and tell me it doesn't seems like this is what's going on. I know there was the whole "Bosh is demanding the max" thing, but like everything else, it could have been complete BS At this point I'm feeling like LeBron to Cleveland would be a win for us
-
I have this terrible feeling he's going to NY
-
Ok, now let's go back to Bosh's tweet from earlier this afternoon- Really seems like both those dudes made their decisions within a few hours of each other. Considering how much we heard about Bosh wanting to play with LBJ, there's a good chance they've agreed to play somewhere together, right? I'm worried about the Miami thing happening again
-
Apparently they just said on espnews that LeBron will announce his decision at 9 PM ET on thursday

Is there anybody here that would take this scenario right now? Cavs- LeBron (nobody else) Miami- Wade, Bosh Knicks- (nobody significant) Bulls- Boozer, Miller Anybody? I'm not saying I would, but if we whiff on Wade/LeBron, this wouldn't be that bad. You essentially have LeBron wasted on the Cavs, the Knicks stuck with no real chance of winning anything (this year a least), and the Heat with a really good, but beatable, team Meanwhile we look pretty good with Rose Miller Deng Boozer Noah If everything played out like that, I feel like we'd have a legitimate chance at beating anybody in the East if some things go our way (Boozer stays healthy, Rose takes another leap, etc) Then again, we'd still get worked by whoever comes out of the West. At least we'd have a legitimate team though- which we haven't had in over a decade.
