I pit the local hockey team

And 1967 feels like a lot longer… sigh…

We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win.

Congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks for winning the Western Cobference championship! Looking forward to a great Stanley Cup Finals series beginning on Wednesday!

Not only that, I can’t find anything on Facebook because every ten seconds tonight it’s YAY BLACKHAWKS!!!

Aren’t there other hockey teams that stand a chance or are the Blackhawks going to win the Stanley Cup like ten times in a row?

It’s NHL playoff hockey. Anything can happen. I’m a Hawks fan, but this series could have gone to the Ducks. There were a lot of hard-fought wins in there, and a bounce here or an inch there, and it could have been the Ducks in the finals. So, no, I’m absolutely not taking it as a given that the Hawks are going to steamroll their way through the finals. Not at all. But the way they’ve been playing the last two games, it’s encouraging.

Yes. :frowning:

:smiley:

My only regret is the Da Haks didn’t advance to the final in Chicago, on a weeknight. Or, even better, a weeknight right during ponch8’s commute.

The Blackhawks are in cap hell after this season. Enjoy it now - they will not look the same next year.

Although Toews, Kane and Keith are always a good starting point…

Trading Corey Crawford and seeing if Darling is for real (spoiler - yes) frees up 6 million.

I’m reviving my year-old thread to celebrate the fucking hockey team’s elimination from the Stanley Bowl playoffs. Their parade has been CANCELLED! Woohoo!

Are you so ignorant that you don’t realize it is called the Stanley Cup? Or are you trying to make a point by being wrong on purpose?

Yay ice rink sportball!

(Yes, Ike, he’s making the point that he thinks it’s stupid.)

Local sports radio is pointing the finger at the quarterback Toews for not scoring any baskets during the last series.

The second yellow card for burning the hammer in the last innings was the real killer, though.

Something something succumbed to depression after they couldn’t “beat the blues.”

It must suck to be a Chicago sports fan … really suck …

Yes, okay, we get it, you’re a unique and special snowflake. Happy now? :rolleyes:

However, as far as that big parade, I too would prefer it not be in your city. :smiley:

LET’S GO PENS!!!

Most of the Blackhawks fans I see are total bandwagon jumpers. And I’m still pissed about their two or three players going over to a section of the ice to raise their sticks in appreciation of fans coming to watch them in an away game. On enemy ice?? That’s beyond rude.

In that case, keep the “Mighty”, lose the “Ducks.”
