  1. good to see versteeg giving us one last versteeg moment as a blackhawk (there are many similar moments with him off the ice if you do some youtube searching). i won't miss him as a player, but i'll miss him as verbeauty
  2. i saw a post on a wings boards regarding the additional 4m cap hit from the toews/kane bonuses. he said something like "and the hits keep on coming for the blackhawks". that specific line made me laugh pretty hard. we won a [expletive] stanley cup 2 days ago, but "the hits keep on coming". yeah, blackhawk nation is in complete disarray right now. basically rock bottom
  3. yeah, we can't afford to lose any of the big 4 on d. hjalmarsson has to stay.
  4. flyers won't commit to leighton for next season? i'm interested to hear how lavs feels about this. leighton had the best numbers in the playoffs!
  5. i'm not worrying about it, i'm enjoying it and pointing out the hilarity. what's wrong with enjoying your rival suffer through your team winning a championship?
  6. Hey Suppan, YOU'RE FUCKIN OUT
  7. No, that's he main problem. He's never right. And what the hell are you talking about with Chicago blaming Steve Stone?
  8. from a wings forum you heard it. we lucked out by playing trash like vancouver and san jose
  9. I'm reading some Red Wings forums, and it's pretty hilarious
  10. I can live without Buff, but Bolland would be hard to part with. That guy seems to be a bit of a rising star. yes, bolland needs to stay. he wasn't fully back from the injury until around the beginning of the vancouver series. i liked him before this season, and after this postseason i like him even more. pleeeeeeeease keep bolland.
  11. i really hope byfuglien is one of the guys to go. not because i want him to go, but because i think his value is at an all time high right now, and we know what regular season byfuglien is like. he now has a stanley cup ring, and there is no olympic team to try to make next season. where will his motivation come from? SELL HIGH
  12. I didn't see it yet, but I'm fine with booing him. He's worthless and his contract (though admittedly not his fault) may hamstring the team for the next few years. c'mon. why boo him for accepting a contract? what was he supposed to do? turn it down because he didn't think he deserved it? and either way, booing ANY player at a championship parade is just really really weak. "eff you huet, if you didn't suck so bad, maybe we finish with 117 points instead of 112! thanks a lot, you bum"
  13. "umm, i really think the key to the playoffs for the hawks was buhhfooglienn. i cant wait until next season to see what kind of numbers this guy can put up now that he's developed into an elite player."
  14. Cam Barker's planning his day with the Cup. Didn't he play enough games this year? Havlat is wondering why he sucked so much this year. He played enough games, but you have to finish with the team too, I think. I'll check. The Hawks might give him a ring, though. all you have to do is play 41 games in the regular season or 1 game in the finals.
  15. Cam Barker's planning his day with the Cup. Didn't he play enough games this year? yeah, i guess you're right. he played 51. for some reason i thought it was way lower than that. so is he really going to get a day with the cup? that's pretty funny if it actually goes down like that.
  16. i wonder what guys like martin havlat and cam barker are feeling
  17. yeah, i'd expect him to be around average next season.
  18. I don't understand this thought process. The idea that you've "earned" it more because you've watched more. I'm a huge Chicago sports fan, but for (I think) pretty reasonable reasons, I haven't had a lot of Blackhawks interest previously. I've had a casual passing interest...enough to care whether they won or lost, but not enough to watch the games on a regular basis. But (like many in town I suspect, based on TV ratings for Chicago), I followed the playoffs religiously. Why would you begrudge those people? it's fine that they exist, i just don't want to be around them.
  19. yeah. i'm obviously fine with going into next season with him as our goalie, but i still don't know what to make out of that guy. even when he's going good, he seems to be flopping around... yet it seems to work a lot.you'd think winning a stanley cup would tell you what kind of goalie you have, but i still don't know. no matter what happens though, i'll always love him.
  20. thats why im getting a bolland or seabrook jersey I'm getting really crabby about this. This city's sports fans weren't just disinterested, they were openly hostile to hockey for years. They should get off my lawn! and they'll be the first fans to boo antti niemi the first time he has a bad game next season. or wonder why toews isn't scoring 120 points. or why byfluglien isn't on a 40 goal pace. Cubs fans jump on new players when they don't immediately perform. Hell, everybody was bailing on the Cutler bandwagon after the first game last year. It's about a large, passionate sports market. Not bandwagoning. i hate all those people too. the same people who will probably start booing castro soon.
  21. i remember being outside of the st pete times forum after the lightning won the cup in game 7 and seeing a group of about 6 or 7 teenage girls walk by..... every single one of them wearing a brand new brad richards jersey. one of them also was holding a fake stanley cup she made out of aluminum foil. die hard fans for sure.

  23. right now i'm actually glad i don't live near chicago. bandwagon fans piss me off like you wouldn't believe. i live near tampa, so i saw it with the lightning in 04, and the rays a couple years ago. just disgusting.
  24. thats why im getting a bolland or seabrook jersey
  25. Ozney, Oney, and Ozzie Jr. i didn't believe you until i looked it up. jesus
