LDF Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) I don't either. Too many changes, and a ton happened this off-season on and off the ice. But as I said, this is the first year in a while there are a lot of questions, and I like that. My outlook would be totally different if they still hadn't won a cup. But that isn't the case. for the most part i would agree but this team has players who has been thru this rt before. right after each cup. so in essence, this is like those times. so i would, only b/c of who they are, coach Q, the main core of leaders and an experience goalie. there are too many good pieces that this team can depend on. i think and i may be wrong, but this is the reason i would trust the hawks type of players they depend on and of course the the coaching staff.

soxfan49 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) defense though? Oduya was average before he came here. Daley is a strong offensive defenseman who is decent defensively. Hjalmarsson will make him as good if not better then Oduya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 That press conference sucked a**. Are you f***ing kidding me? A beat writer flat out asked him if he will stop drinking and another asked if he feels he let down the fans again, and he said "I appreciate the question but I can't answer that" to both. F*** off.

I don't know what this means. i agree with you. every chance the statement is made, the hawks lay down the same answer. respect the legal process...... in other words, no comment. these reporter may be good, but after some time awhile later, they, the reporters will get very angry. so in other words, they will write up real nice stories.

They tried to slip Kane in and out as quick as possible, not say anything, and try and turn it into a victory parade on everything they have accomplished. They owe everyone more than that right now.

Today, the Blackhawks totally missed the mark with that press conference. It's already begun. you have a good point. but for this discussion, i will play devil's advocate. how did they miss the mark? there is still an ongoing case?? no questions on the legal questions or how the team is reacting to this stupidity on Kane part.??

Dick Allen Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Did people really think Kane or the Blackhawks were going to talk about this case? The press conference was predictably ridiculous, and the criticisms will be predictable as well. I do agree with the why have a press conference group.

DrunkBomber Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I dont know what everyone is so upset about, it went exactly how people thought it would. If people are really surprised that Kane didnt answer those questions I dont know what to tell you. They said that he was going to only answer questions about hockey and then pretty much every question he got wasnt about hockey and then here comes the "zomg he wont even answer questions about his drinking" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 It is pretty arrogant to hold a press conference, but have the guy not answer anything related to what everyone wants to talk about. If that is the case, just release as statement saying that because of the on-going proceedings he can't talk to the press, but will once everything is resolved. What happened today was the worst of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) 1. They requested all their media to travel to South Bend to hear Kane speak for the 1st time, and provide some insight. Those were the expectations set BY THE TEAM. 2. Kane had a somewhat poorly written statement that you could have found online in a PR handbook, and had the statement ready to go "I appreciate the question, I really do, but I can't answer that right now." 3. That's all fine, and somewhat expected. What really tipped the scales was then the Blackhawks Braintrust attempting to turn this into a pat on the back, look at how great we are press conference. Are you kidding me? Kane had just left the room, the body isn't even cold yet, and you're going to do that? You have all of training camp to hold another presser to talk about the upcoming season, no one was there for that. Understand expectations. That's always rule #1. wow... what a great post. really good. !!!!! ref to the bold. what a bs line ..... like anyone who is not smart enuf to realize that is a no freaking comment statement. i can't wait to see all the press take on this farce. but in ref to the hawks POV..... they laid the scope of how anything and everything is going to be answered. laid the ground work of what they will accept from the press without trying to offend them, but at the end of the day, the hawks needs a good feeling with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
