Pat Foley signed on as the new voice of the Chicago Wolves.

He must have wanted to stay in Chicago more than staying in the NHL.

I always liked his announcing.

I wish the Wolves were expansioned into the NHL. I hate the Blackhawks, while the Wolves do everything the right way.

Pat Foley is one of my all-time favs in any sport.

Hawky Tawky?

Who the hell posts THERE????

Although....there are probably more posters on that board than fans at the UC when Columbus or Nashville come to town.....

And yourself, young man!

I post there!!!

 

I made a Foley thread over there yesterday - come on Critic, make the jump over there, we could use you.

 

I'm glad i'll be able to hear Foley call some games this year, that's pretty sweet.

This is a giant F' You and Middle Fingerr by Foley to the Blackhawk organization.

Good for him!

I do NOT ignore hockey. Frankly, I never played it as a kid, and I think it's sad that kids do it so often now. But if you mean to start some big debate on education policy and no-child-left-behind, I don't see why you'd put it here instead of Filib. This is supposed to be about sports.

How sad, he makes more with the Wolves than the Blackhawks even offered him

I have to admit, that really surprised me.

I don't know why, nothing cheapskate-related should ever surprise me about The Drunken Andy Griffith and his sons, but I thought a 25-year employee would maybe get better treatment.

It's just a one-year deal, though - I assume Pat will sign one-year deals until an NHL broadcasting job close to Chicago becomes available.

Maybe he can follow John Rooney to St. Louis.....

Pat Foley will be missed...

Pat Foley was the only good thing left that the Blackhawks had going for them. They had their history and Pat Foley. One is now gone and a team's history can only draw so much. I can't believe leagues don't step in and force owners to sell when they obviously can't run a team.

The problem is without drastic moves, this team IS history in Chicago.

And that's really just sad.

 

Because you know if a new owner came in, and things such as local TV blackouts changed, this team could get big, really big. It's really a sleeping giant that may never wake up.

I don't care for hockey. It's too hard to understand, and it's never on TV, b/c Wirtz is a dick. And when it is, it's up against basketball, which I would rather watch anyways.

One more reason to tell the Slackhawks to suck it.

I got to talk with Pat for 5-10 mins last night at the Wolves preseason game. He seemed to be in a great mood and was very, very friendly.

 

I think after the reception he's been getting from Wolves' fans he's going to be happy with his decision to do the broadcasts, even if it's only for a year.
