Yeah, we get to see how much Kenny will sell the team off.
I'm a big fan of all the blackhawk fans on facebook now, my entire life I knew like 4 people who even liked hockey
I guarantee 80% of these lifelong fans around chicago couldn't tell you who won last year or who the hawks lost to in the playoffs last year, coincidentally they are the same cub fans who can't name a player on the roster
Playoffs and finals were really fun though, been a while since chicago has had a championship that counted (white sox are gay)

I appreciate the effort put forth by the flyers. A lot of people were saying sweep and that the blackhawks would just just roll over the flyers, at least they made it a battle.
I don't like bandwagon fans much and I am admittedly a latecomer to hockey and I'd agree to call bullshit on 99% of people calling themselves "lifelong fans". Back in the 90s when both the Bulls and Blackhawks were in the finals I didn't really pay attention to them and they got smoked by the Penguins. I remember Chelios and Roenick were beloved but thats about it.
I didn't really pay attention to the Blackhawks besides what I'd read in the paper until about 3 years ago when Bill Wirtz finally died and his son put them back on TV and started spending money on players, hiring quality personnel people and coaches. Its still fucked for people who have DIRECTV because they don't get the VS channel, which has most of the regular season games. Before that the Hawks were only on TV when they made the playoffs. Wirtz thought it was unfair to season ticket holders to televise home games. On the flip side it was relatively cheap to go see a game live. Blacking out the hometown definitely doesn't help build the fan base. Shitty teams like the Cubs, Notre Dame football and the Braves have nice big fan bases due to sweet TV deals.
Chicago fans can at least realize there should be some good Blackhawk teams to watch in the years to come with all the young talent currently on the roster. It's a nice turnaround for a former "Worst Franchise in Sports" as opposed to living in Philadelphia or Detroit where you suck so badly for so long that even when you do win something you are still miserable.
OH come on, just because that Pittsburgh minor league team beats them all the time doesn't make the Cubs minor league.
he did that to force people to go see games and it backfired horribly

I'm from ny, but I became a flyers fan because I go to school near philly and had never watched hockey before going to college.
Started getting into it last year and followed the flyers by default.

You've still never watched a hockey game if you've only watched games with the Flyers involved.

I watched the penguins/red wings final last year.
Flyers/Hawks was better

Don't knock the SouthShore Railcats!
2005 & 2007 league champs. They are probably the best baseball team in the whole fucking area this year.
Roenick crying at the end of the game really got to me man.
"I never got to do that..."
*edit* this is serious post
Yeah, that kind of came out of the blue.
Wonder if that kid/guy he was talking about was watching?
