Good teams find ways to win, even if it’s a shit goal. Bedard needed to put that game away. True, but we are not a good team. I was taking about dcats goal, it was a shit goal. The hawks are far from a good team. You misunderstood me.

I'm old enough to remember sour Hawk fans referring to Phil Esposito's goals scored here as 'garbage' goals,over 700 of em helped Boston win two cups,so.....maybe that "fluke","shit" goal that "never shoulda happened" happened because an elite sniper saw a very small opening and hit it.
The steal and back-hand pass to spring his best friend for the OT GWG must of been a fluke too? Maybe,and maybe a suppository for the young GM.
Detroit taught Patrick Kane how to be a champion at a young age and now he's trying to return the favor. Gotta 'live in the moment' I'm told,I had no problem living in THAT moment!

Missed the Chelly ceremony and the first 7mins thanks to the Pitts game, and had to watch the Red Wings feed. Everyone complimenting Jones last game must've had beer goggles on, he wasn't good then and he was bad again tonight, especially in OT. Megna shouldn't be on the 2nd pair, I'd put Crevier with Korchinski. But Megna and Tinordi on the 3rd pair isn't good either, 2 pylons. And Raddysh fanning on that 2 on 1 typified his season, hopefully it's his sophomore slump and he's sniping again next season. Have not drank in a long time but through my red glasses thought #4 had another great game. And no one is asked to do more out there then #4. Not the first time I see a different game wont be the last.

Hello old friends,
I must say I was quite pissed to see what transpired last night. I was hoping Chelios would get booed as he did the last time he stepped out on UC ice. This whole charade of "I've always been a Blackhawk" nonsense is garbage. He did nothing but rip this team and the fans every chance he got when he was with the Wings, and the fact he got his number retired before Brent Seabrook will forever be a frigging disgrace. He can think he was always a Blackhawk as much as he pleases, but to me and I hope to many long time fans of this team who remember and who were here during the the dark times, he'll always be nothing but a Winged-wheel putz; and he certainly wasn't a Blackhawk when he refused to don the Indian Head during the alumni team photo while. So he can spare me the BS.
Also, I guess Kane actually skated out when he was announced the first star of the game. Again, that pisses me off. I love Kane, love what he did the for the city, I'm fine with him skating one last time after those stars were announced at the very end of the game (as he also did), but to skate out there on away ice while being announced the first, when half the frigging (can you swear here?) barn was Red Wing fans -- that was a bridge too far. This isn't your home ice anymore. You're a visitor. Maybe I'm in the minority, but the Showtime thing also pissed me off. Anyone who was rooting for Kane and/or a Wings win last night, I will never understand that. Last night, of all nights, you should have been rooting for a Hawks win, even if you're rooting for another tank year. One win last night isn't going to change that.
Anyway, guess I'm still a bit fired up after that display. The only fitting thing was Chelios' real team won the game last night. Hope you guys are all well.

Hope you guys are all well. yeah, I was and still am against the Chelios number retirement without including Seabrook. this better not mean that Seabs doesn't have his day, cuz he was a hell of a lot closer to an "always a Blackhawk" than Chelios ever has been. they should've had a joint ceremony a few years from now, but we all know this was just the team fulfilling the request of Rocky. o well, it is over and done with now. I was definitely not rooting for the away team or any of their players last night. the in game honoring of 88 was plenty, I didn't need to see him win the game for the hated wings, but, again, it is over and done with now. good seeing ya around these parts! don't be a stranger!

Hey Bob, It was rather interesting to see Sharpie, Keith, Hossa and a ton of other stars, but no Tazer. Even MJ was on hand. Have you heard anything or read anything about Toews since his retirement, or not without stirring the pot, or creating something out of nothing, but being on hand to watch a jersey being retired would be the type of situation where you would like to see past and future stars on hand.I was just surprised he wasn’t there.

No MJ but he got Rodman who I think anyone can for about 100. I think he is working B-Day parties.

Maybe since Tazer's career was interrupted at an age when he still should have been capable of playing good hockey, it is just too "painful" for him to come back and only have the good ol' days to discuss. If such is the case, I would completely get it. Just because Hossa can do it, doesn't mean that Tazer should also do it. Two different temperments and people. Who knows he might have just been too busy rebuildilng the engine on his 65 Mustang.

Missed the Chelly ceremony and the first 7mins thanks to the Pitts game, and had to watch the Red Wings feed. Everyone complimenting Jones last game must've had beer goggles on, he wasn't good then and he was bad again tonight, especially in OT. Megna shouldn't be on the 2nd pair, I'd put Crevier with Korchinski. But Megna and Tinordi on the 3rd pair isn't good either, 2 pylons. And Raddysh fanning on that 2 on 1 typified his season, hopefully it's his sophomore slump and he's sniping again next season. Have not drank in a long time but through my red glasses thought #4 had another great game. And no one is asked to do more out there then #4. Not the first time I see a different game wont be the last. You're definitely seeing a different game, yes #4 is asked to do more, because he's making over 9mill a year, but he's not a top2 dman. The past 2gms he hasn't been as bad as usual but he's still out of position a lot, I've even heard Vlasic say what are you doing. Plus he makes passes when he should've shot and shoots when he should've passed. And in OT he was trying to be the hero with all the celebrities in the Madhouse, even though he had Bedard wide open to his left. And when he got his rebound he forced another unscreened shot when he had 2 forwards down low, he should've held it and either went back to the point or behind the net and let one of the forwards cover the point. Jones is a constant reminder of how terrible Bowman was.

MJ ended-up not making it due to a death in the family,JT never played with Chelios and must have taken his dis-invite seriously. I was surprised even four of the players from the 'Golded era' were there. The day's festivities did include Savard,Belfore,Roenik,Amonte,Hoss,Keith,Seabrook,Sharp,Foley MC'd and even Edzo got mentioned. Kane and DeBrincat were also on the opposing bench to honor Chris Chelios but like Bobby Hull,none of these great men were allowed to finish thier careers in Chicago......not a one.

Jones is a constant reminder of how terrible Bowman was. Wow guy plays close to half the game and you go to OT where all 3 players should have gotten off the ice. I stand by what I said and yes he is a top 2 Dman trying to do everything he can on a bad team. I dont think luke is giving out ice time based on pay. we are 20 mil under the cap what the hell does pay have to do with it. Why we are at it did Bowman draft the Pickle ? I hope that the Hawks start playing your style when the puck is in front of the net they should pass it to the side. Why would he go behind the net and let a forward cover the point forward should have covered point once he went to the net. oh never mind with the puck right in front of the net you wanted him to skate back to the point got it!

I have been told to root against the Hawks for the last 2 years and I dont get that either. For reference 20% deadwing fans and 50% of them didnt understand how the worst team in league could say there team sucks because they were like 25 or under at least by me. Granada hope you stay and continue to post always have loved you insight!! I have never rooted for a hawks loss but the game was over and I got a chance to say goodby to an old friend and I took it!! I boooed the last time for CC this time I sayed quit people in front of us all had new CC sweatshirts about 4 rows behind there a group in Mount Carmal jerseys so i decided to show them some respect. My woman on the other hand oh well

How do we know he has no respect for the arena and its fans, because he scored an OT goal. What is he supposed to do? I find it incredibly "silly" what he can or not do. Kane was responsible for THREE Stanley cups and now that he is on the Wings he is the enemy. I understand there are emotions and feelings, but for one game let the kid enjoy and for me personally it is a reminder of all the hundreds of special moments he had over his career with the Hawks. I am sure it was emotional for him to come back. It is not like he cost the Hawks a playoff spot, and I could be wrong, but I have not heard Richardson or any of the Hawks have any issue what happened after he scored in OT.

Hope you guys are all well. yeah, I was and still am against the Chelios number retirement without including Seabrook. this better not mean that Seabs doesn't have his day, cuz he was a hell of a lot closer to an "always a Blackhawk" than Chelios ever has been. they should've had a joint ceremony a few years from now, but we all know this was just the team fulfilling the request of Rocky. o well, it is over and done with now. I was definitely not rooting for the away team or any of their players last night. the in game honoring of 88 was plenty, I didn't need to see him win the game for the hated wings, but, again, it is over and done with now. good seeing ya around these parts! don't be a stranger! Thanks Vadar -- and everyone -- great seeing you guys. I'll try to pop in here more often now that I joined. Cheers!

You're definitely seeing a different game, yes #4 is asked to do more, because he's making over 9mill a year, but he's not a top2 dman. The past 2gms he hasn't been as bad as usual but he's still out of position a lot, I've even heard Vlasic say what are you doing. Plus he makes passes when he should've shot and shoots when he should've passed. And in OT he was trying to be the hero with all the celebrities in the Madhouse, even though he had Bedard wide open to his left. And when he got his rebound he forced another unscreened shot when he had 2 forwards down low, he should've held it and either went back to the point or behind the net and let one of the forwards cover the point. Jones is a constant reminder of how terrible Bowman was. Wow guy plays close to half the game and you go to OT where all 3 players should have gotten off the ice. I stand by what I said and yes he is a top 2 Dman trying to do everything he can on a bad team. I dont think luke is giving out ice time based on pay. we are 20 mil under the cap what the hell does pay have to do with it. Why we are at it did Bowman draft the Pickle ? I hope that the Hawks start playing your style when the puck is in front of the net they should pass it to the side. Why would he go behind the net and let a forward cover the point forward should have covered point once he went to the net. oh never mind with the puck right in front of the net you wanted him to skate back to the point got it! To be fair, there are top-2 D-men in the league who are not good in the backend; they are usually paired with a D-stalwart. As I've said before Jones is, at best, a Brian Campbell (who IMHO is a 1-2). He is not a Duncan Keith. He has proven he cannot be the defensive anchor of a pairing who goes up against the best offensive opposition, but he is good on the transition and on the O-side and can soak up minutes, but he is best paired up with someone who can cover the backend defensive responsibilities. So, him being with Vlassic is a good thing. We just need a righty Vlassic for Korch. . Also, to be fair, if Jones was pinching low in O/T one of the FWDS should have cycled high to cover; so I'm not putting the Kane breakaway on Jones; I'm putting it on the FWDs. I thought it was Chevy and Bedard but the Game summary says Dickenson and Beauviller. I'm also putting it on coaching for not effectively emphasizing to the players that YOU. DO. NOT. LET. KANE. CHERRYPICK. Granada, Perhaps you should review the current team standings. Blackhawks and Sharks are tied for last place at 35 pts each. I did not say that yesterday.

Yeah, someone should have cross-checked Kane in the face for having the nerve to score the winning goal on a breakaway in OT. Doesn't he have any respect for the old arena and its fans? How do we know he has no respect for the arena and its fans, because he scored an OT goal. What is he supposed to do? I find it incredibly "silly" what he can or not do. Kane was responsible for THREE Stanley cups and now that he is on the Wings he is the enemy. I understand there are emotions and feelings, but for one game let the kid enjoy and for me personally it is a reminder of all the hundreds of special moments he had over his career with the Hawks. I am sure it was emotional for him to come back. It is not like he cost the Hawks a playoff spot, and I could be wrong, but I have not heard Richardson or any of the Hawks have any issue what happened after he scored in OT. Someday we can have a conversation about the art of sarcasm and/or hyperbole. I certainly was not serious when I posted what I did about Kane. It was simply a play on the recent criminal actions of one, Morgan Reilly, when a Senator scored an empty netter with a slap shot from 6 feet outside the goal crease. You remember that, don't you? I simply equated the criticism of Kane for scoring the winning goal with the criticism of Mr. Reilly when the Sen perfected his empty netter slap shot.

I knew you were kidding, but the Kane and Reilly analogy is not close IMO. The players, hockey fans and league reacted to Reilly actions, did not see anyone from the Hawks react to what Kane did. The only criticism I see is from some on this board, mostly all emotional IMO.

I was merely poking fun at those who criticized Kane for scoring and his post-game "actions" by saying that criticizing him was not enough and that some Hawk should have cross-checked him in the face for this transgression, which was about as trivial as the Sen's in slap shotting an empty netter. Christ, if Kane's goal deserves criticism and it came only from this board, it is time for those expressing such criciticism to examine their values.

If he did that at the old stadium, he wouldn't have walked out of there on his own.

Ya know,if Kane and DeBrincat had opted out for more money through FA,or demanded a trade and bad-mouthed the team on the way out,thumbing their noses at the Org before purposefully joining forces on the team's biggest divisional rival,I too would have a problem supporting or following their careers,but that's not what happened. Imagine if they ended-up on the Blues!
It was the Org who thumbed it's nose at the aging and injured future HoF,3 time cup winner and the best,young goal scorer they drafted since.....am I wrong on this? Alex DeBrincat signed with Detroit for ONE reason,it's his hometown and he proved it with a decent discount and Patrick Kane joined him for two reasons IMO. Stevie Y was the guy who showed the most interest and faith in Kane and Kane had faith in Stevie Y,the 2nd reason is the obvious chemistry between the two players on and off the ice.
If someone is apt to revel in the brilliance of trading players like D-Cat,Hagle and Kane because the return of those trades will make the team better in the future.....and it might,not to mention booting Strome. Then they better be ready to 'stew in the juices' of watching these players excel in the meantime. D-Cat,Hagle and Strome are on pace for 90+ combined goals and Patrick Kane looks to be a point a game forward who's healthier than he's been in years.
Screw the 'stew'.....LOL,that's more like a big pot of red gravy with neckbones and 'salsiccia'!
