Improved things from a stanley cup winner? How exactly do you do that?

Wow, you're clueless. How about having just one addition contribute in a meaningful way? There's not a single post-Tallon player who contributes here.

Choking b****es isn't cool. Grow up, Kaner. I'm done with you. Thanks for killing your trade value in my world where you wind up traded.

Sounds like Kaner is trying to live up to Bobby Hull's legacy, both on & off the ice.

Wow thats informative. Thanks for your contribution.

 

Heres some actual information:

 

As far as players that will contribute, Stan's biggest push has been towards building a farm system for this team, his draft picks have been pretty damn good. In the 2011 draft alone he took 2 players that CONTRIBUTED for the blackhawks this season in Saad and Andrew Shaw. AS far as team contributions over the years that he has brought in via trade after being forced to unload half the roster after the cup, you have Leddy, Boynton, Stalberg, Morin, Hayes, Frolik, Campoli (for a short time), Oduya.

 

His free agent signings havent been world beaters, but he accumulated draft picks to fill in the spots around the core he resigned after the cup while still staying competitive within the conference and the division. Once again, who is doing a better job at this at the moment, especially after having to dump half their team after WINNING a cup? I fully expect the extra few picks per year they've been taking since he took over to pay off in the next few years while the core is still signed to the roster. I think its pretty hilarious we are faulting mgmt for forcing us to watch a playoff contender while they continue to rebuild from within.

Yup, teams coming off of Cups should worry about stocking the farm and not an extended run with proven NHL stars that dominated to the 2010 Stanley Cup.

 

Again. Clueless.

So kaner's college-type antics were being recited by college kids who were all blacked out? Sounds legit.

Again, give me some examples smart guy. Which guys could they have made an extended run with under the cap? Please paint us your pretty picture.

You lurked in here so long I thought you were putting something together.

 

Its been two seasons since we've won the cup, so lets take a look at some recent cup winners and what they did the two seasons after winning:

 

Avs, 99 and 105 points

Wings, 110, 109

NJ 100, 101

TB 92, 93

Car 88, 92

Ducks 102, 91

Det 112, 102

PIT, 101, 106

Chi 97, 101

 

Again, not exactly "backwards" especially with our cap issues. The best teams in the list are Det, and happens to be the same family/philosophy that the Hawks have had in place for now only 3 years.

Kane needs to go he is a Big Ben type incident away from getting himself in serious trouble

One of these days someone is going to beat the s*** out of him.

1. Dont you mean a Starlin Castro-type incident since his was most recent. Aka any athlete who f***s a whore and she has serious remorse. Look what it did to his career too....

 

2. You are also assuming the anonymous comments sent into deadspin from Wisconsin students who were completely blacked out at a college party are accurate about the actions of a celeb that apparently they ALL saw up close.

In the 2011 draft alone he took 2 players that CONTRIBUTED for the blackhawks this season in Saad and Andrew Shaw.

 

It's been reported that it was actually Bergevin (director of scouting at the time) who pleaded with Stan to take Shaw. Bergevin just got hired as the Habs GM.

I'm with you Rock. I know I posted some of the comments, but I did it more for comedic value. Until there are any legal issues & police involved, I'm not gonna get worried about what the kid is doing on his summer vacation or about what a bunch of anonymous drunk college kids report they claim to see.

Its only a matter of time.

Of course he could grow up as the years go by and his 20 year old actions will actually decrease.

How many years are you going to say that?

How many years did your parents say that about you? Took me till my late twenties.

The big difference between the three of us is that people actually care about what Patrick Kane does. He has been heading downhill for years now.

Maybe so but getting drunk at a house/street party in your early 20's doesnt scream "heading downhill" to me. You have some stories sent into deadspin claiming some celeb did something that EVERYONE saw and could remember clear enough to be an eye witness. Of course there arent any pictures or vids of the horrific acts that they claimed which is funny because nobody has phones with that kind of technology these days...

 

 

He is young and having some fun I don't see the problem. If he shows up next season out of shape that'd be a different story.

This is exactly how I feel.

Yes, another older family man who probably doesnt remember his 20's. Good perspective

 

Wait he attended Lewis university, so he probably didnt have much fun in his 20's.

Not everyone is a complete douchebag in their early 20's as Kane appears to be.

I'm in my mid-20's and think Kane is a tool.

This is a good one too.

 

Dear Patrick Kane, Please Stop Drinking Because You Suck At It
