What's new

I have a confession....

I'm a Caps fan, but the Blackhawks are insane right now. What's even more insane if how ESPN barely talks about it. If this was the Heat or any NFL team it would be on Sportcenter 24/7.
They would be if they were the rangers or pens

ImNewbieSauce Again, amazing thread/posts lol

You see, I have a story. I LOVE HOCKEY. Its a passion of mine, but lately, its been pushed to the side. "How in the world could you say that, Tim?" Well, you see Mr Sauce, I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am a Buckeye through and through, and pride in where you come from is STRONG in these parts. That's part 1. Part #2 is that, in the early 90's, I discovered an amazing hockey game called NHL Hockey. It was fanfuckintastic. Even better and more realistic than Blades of Steel. Well, I liked Gretzky but never liked those Canadian teams lol, but via this EA Sports hockey sim, I discover a team called the Chicago Blackhawks. Studs of a front line, beat D-men and an amazing goalie. I was hooked. Roenick is still my favorite player of all time, (and I agree, seeing Chelios win with the fucking scumbag motherfucking Red Wings was DISGUSTING) and I became a full on Blackhawk's fan. Shortlived as it was, in June of 1997, my hometown of Columbus (another reason I hate Detroit is the Ohio St-Michigan rivalry) was awards a new NHL franchise. I first tried to fight it, but knowing Roenick wasn't in Chicago anymore, and I would now have a chance to actually attend NHL hockey games, my allegiance slowly shifted to this new franchise. Sure, I knew they would be bad the first couple years, but figuring they would accumulate high draft picks and surely turn those into future NHL All-Stars. Rick Nash! Nikolay Zherdev!! Klesla! Picard! Brule! LeClaire.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. FUCK NO.

16 years later, and one Stanley Cup in Chicago later, I'm just fucking done with the Blue Jacket's franchise. I refuse to follow, root, buy merch, wear any that i still own (still trying to sell off a couple jerseys on Craigslist, recently finally sold my 2 Nash jerseys).

I was SO proud of the Blackhawks in 2009-10. I actually saw them beat the CBJ that year, twice lol. I always made sure I'd see them play in Cbus. It was mind blowing to see those sweaters in real life lol. And yes, the BEST jerseys in all of pro sports. Period.

I really REALLY hope they do it again this year. I am a Chicago fan again, if for only this (shorten :() season, but my love for the 'Hawks will always be strong. :coffee:

tl;dr

Up the Irons!!!
I teared up when the Blackhawks won their first cup in my lifetime.
I know that feeling very well. I felt the exact same way when LA won the cup last year (I actually did a happy dance :p)

What the Blackhawks are doing so far is nuts. 16-0-3 or something like that at the moment?

Hopefully they keep it up and don't decide to be like San Jose and bomb in the playoffs.

Kings FTW

Sorry im late to respond to everyone. Was busy getting my back blown out by GGA HAN
Heres your recap sports fans.

Captain serious wasted all of 12 seconds before pushing one in courtesy of rev0lver and his boy Saad.

The beating was on as Backes and the lads had no answer for ray "wheres my hips" emery and the Hawks D.

Toews added a second goal later for the lulz, and the hawks cruise past the blues 3-0, making it 20 games in a row with a point.

Saddle up chicago fans, its going to be a wild ride.

Thanks man appreciate the kind words.

The blackhawks of the 90s/early 2000s had some players man. Roenick, chelios, eddie b, daze, amonte, zhamnov, the list goes on and on. Probert! That was a good time for the hawks. But that magical cup run...captain serious, kaner, hossa, sharpie, the finnish fortress, duncs, seabs, the rat, the list never ends. Hell in chicago the two most popular guys were fourth liners. Eags and burrish. What a likeable team. Glad to hear you still have love for them.

It is an amazing start...but LBSH...jonathan quick last year in the cup run..holy fuck. Defined "standing on your head"

This year though....its time to listen to Savard....you gotta commit to the Indian.

Another day, another notch on the ol' belt.

Blackhawks win again in overtime despite trailing twice to the blue jackets.

Right now the matchup chart of the NHL has the blackhawks 10-0, over the entire cast.

In his post game interview jonathan toews said it was a real team effort, they just keep grinding out wins.

Patrick kane told the rest of the NHL to "get fucked".

18-0-3

Fresh off a shirtless limo ride, patrick Kane decided enough was enough.

With the hawks streak in jeopardy, kaner scored with 2 minutes left in the 3rd period to send the hawks and wings to overtime, where he also scored the winner in the shootout.

19-0-3.

Did you think this thread wouldnt make a comeback???

Blackhawks absolutely clutch a series win despite the obvious rigging going on...

Hold Dat Detroit. Gotta handle the Kabal of goaltenders in the next series, but i think the Hawks are more than up to the task.
