July 31, 200817 yr Wow, smart move. Looks like a lot of people now want to work for the Blackhawks. Any word on what Red Wings fans think?
July 31, 200817 yr A guy like this can give you a culture and expectation of winning. I am excited to see the effect he has on the minor league system.

On letsgowings.com, many of them are sad and in particular find it off he'd go to Chicago. One guy's quote: THIS BLOWS EVERYONE KNOWS THE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO COME OUT OF CHICAGO ARE THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, RISE AGAINST AND FERRIS BUELLER

August 13, 200817 yr This seems to me to be mostly symbolic... the year I worked there, Scotty was at the vast majority of home games.
August 13, 200817 yr As soon as the Hawks turn into the Cubs, which is going to be sooner then later, I'm getting rid of my season seats.

August 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (The Critic @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) Some would suggest it's already happened. wow, I am glad that I'm not the only person who feels things are heading in that direction.... I love that the team is moving back towards respectability, but the whole thing just feels very contrived. Maybe things were JUST SOOOO BAD, that it feels weird for them turn around so quickly... still I feel kind of uncomfortable with the cuddliness.
August 13, 200817 yr The feeling is growing..... http://blackhawksblog.blogspot.com/2008/08...are-coming.html
August 14, 200817 yr There are douchebags at every sporting event. It is just more magnified when there is a packed house.
August 14, 200817 yr I welcome as many D-bags as want to show up. More attendance = more money = better players. We actually have a management that wants to be good.

We actually have a management that wants to be good. you can't argue with that, so you deal with the d-bags. Still, I have a feeling this team doesn't make the playoffs with Savard as coach, and although were taking in more money... i'm not thrilled with Tallon's handling of the cap... after awhile, the buzz will die down and they'll be expected to WIN, not just put games on television. I think Rocky, and McDonough understand this... which is satisfying.

The natural progression of Kane/Toews and the rest of our youth, coupled with the upgrade to our goaltending and adding one of the top PP point men in the league all but guarantees a playoff berth.

The West is pretty tough, my friend. It just depends on who stays healthy, IMO.

They will never be the cubs, the location, season, sport, history, and coverage will stop it from ever happening.
