  1. both of those teams have more games played than the hawks, so it would be nearly impossible. theyd basically have to run the table and hope the hawks only win like 1 more game. it would be funny though
  2. Before last season, didn't pretty much everyone always say that Bradley was a good teammate and well liked in the clubhouse? Yes, but the media could have spun some of the details of the Jeff Kent-Bradley feud in 05 to make Bradley look pretty bad. Was that mostly Bradley's fault? Probably not, but the media could have made it out to be and many people would have bought it. I'm not going to commend the media for choosing to be 90% douchey towards Bradley instead of 100% douchey.

  4. I gotta work on making my sarcasm more obvious. My bad. No, I knew it was sarcasm. It just didn't really make sense to me. It sounded like you were trying to imply that SSR was just saying things that weren't necessarily true to make Bradley look better. No sorry I was just being random. In retrospect, I can see why it really didn't fit there. I guess my point was, although the media had something to do with how Bradley/Chicago turned out, there were other factors at play. Well of course. Bradley is as much to blame as anyone. I just think the "I don't think the media was unfair to anybody" quote from Lou (and backed by Miles) was completely false.
  5. Like when Paul Sullivan went on a spring training broadcast and called him a crazy person. Remember when Bruce Levine convinced fans to write racist letters to Bradley? No, because that didn't happen. SSR's post, however, was accurate. I gotta work on making my sarcasm more obvious. My bad. No, I knew it was sarcasm. It just didn't really make sense to me.

  6. Like when Paul Sullivan went on a spring training broadcast and called him a crazy person. That's true (and kind was too strong of a word on my part). However, they still didn't go through his past. Can you imagine if someone had wrote an article just detailing every thing Bradley's been involved in during the last 7-8 years? Most of Chicago would have hated him from day one especially if they played up the possible domestic violence calls. And yet as far as I know an article like that never came out. Why are you making it sound like Bradley had this secret past that needed to be exposed by a writer for people to know about it? Everybody knew/knows about Bradley's past and what he's gotten into. Everyone knows about the bottle incident at Dodger Stadium. Everybody knows about the injury with Bud Black. Everybody knows about him going up to the press box. It probably wasn't written about because everybody was already very familiar with his past.
  7. is it a coincidence that the hawks and sharks (each team had 5 players in the olympics) have sucked ass since returning from the olympics break? those 10 guys haven't done [expletive] since returning either.

  9. booooooooooooooo
  10. mentally melting down now too. awesome. really starting to question q
  11. hawks last 30 games: -4 so for a stretch that's over 2/3 of the regular season, the hawks have a negative goal differential. it's no longer just "playing terrible right now". it's more like "this team hasn't been good in almost 3 months".
  12. A week ago they were tied for the best record in the conference. Yes they are playing terribly, but from the stats I have seen, it doesn't matter how well you play going into the playoffs. Being hot or cold near the playoffs is not indicative of playoff performance. come on. even kyle isn't using these arguments anymore. this team has been mediocre forl ike 2 months. they have been a different team since the wild game. arguing against that just makes it looks like you haven't been paying attention to the team.
  13. yeah, i almost don't care anymore. there's no way this team wins a cup this year so it's kind of pointless worrying about how far they go. it's amazing how much interest i've lost in this team over the past month or two. hopefully they get booed off the ice tonight.
  14. yeah i'm pretty usre detroit would beat us right now. luckily though, it looks like detroit will probably finish with the 4 or 5 seed It'd take a hot streak from Nashville and us to sink even lower but we could as well. i meant 5 or 6, sorry
  15. yeah i'm pretty usre detroit would beat us right now. luckily though, it looks like detroit will probably finish with the 5 or 6 seed
  16. he blows
  17. if they lose this game i hope they get booed hard at the end. something needs to wake this team up. they've been sleepwalking for months
  18. nah there was nothing wrong with that particular post, i was just busting balls. i don't know what's wrong, but it sucks. it's no longer just a slump either. i don't know what happened, but this is a completely different team than what we saw earlier in the season.
  19. it's funny maybe like once a month
  20. ONLY YOUR TEAMS MAN, ONLY YOUR TEAMS get off it, cuz i just got off your mama i'll gladly stop doing it when you stop doing it ok deal
  21. ONLY YOUR TEAMS MAN, ONLY YOUR TEAMS
  22. From Bruce in the comments Really Bruce? The media was never unfair to Bradley? Come on. It's dissapointing to hear Bruce say things like these, even though I know he's just sticking up for his peers.
  23. i know you lovvvve to hate milton bradley, but it was obvious the media was out to get him from day 1.
  24. they pretty much did run him out of town
  25. he doesn't have a single walk yet this spring in 59 ABs? wow that's my main thing with colvin. it's hard for me to ever get excited about a guy who refuses to take walks.
