. . . and the collaspes starts

The usual "Detroit sucks", "We're good now so lets ignore the fact we stopped watching for 15 years" rants along with a general lack of knowledge about the game as well. But its a playoffs so its amped up by 10. I was talking to a friend of a friend a couple weeks ago and he said that he doesn't really watch hockey, wasn't paying attention to the playoffs and actually didn't even know who the Hawks were playing. He then asked me if I was a Hawks fan, and I said no, I'm a Wings fan since childhood. He goes into a 5 minute rant about how Detroit sucks, I can't be a Wings fan and live in Chicago and how the Red Wings are awful.

After talking to numerous Hawks fans over the last week, I'm only more convinced that I can never root for or be associated with the Chicago Blackhawks and their fanbase. The Sharks must beat them. Get it together and win. Please.

Sharks. Get it done.

listen, we've all done things we're not proud of after a good 2nd round victory, but that riot was unacceptable.

I've been a Chicagoan for since I was 14 years old and I can honestly say that whats been going on in this town since the Blackhawks got good has been a bit insane. There are so true hockey fans here and there are also some new hockey fans that are learning the sport and the traditions which is great. But there is also an incredible number of Blackhawks fans that are obnoxious arrogant jackasses looking to just get drunk and sing Chelsea Dagger, even though they just realized they had a team two years ago and I think thats awful and an embarassment to the great fans that Chicago in general have. Hawks fans want to forget or ignore that half their fanbase sucks and thats fine, be like that but show some f***ing respect for the game you just found out existed. You can blame Dollar Bill all you want and the man was a idiot for sure but the fanbase let it happen and there's no denying that. The Cubs and Sox and even the Bears were loyal to their teams, even in poor management and awful records, the Hawks were not.

Oh, its coming. I honestly might either move or root for Pittsburgh.

Ugh, my life just officially became unbearable. Kill me now.

I'm pulling for a Vancouver/Boston final.

Babcock, you went all Mike Leach on them last time, why not again?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ETAscvrZcQ

I believe

I hope Babcock goes all Mike Leach on them before the game and the Wings dominate from the drop of the first puck till 0:00 in the 3rd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ETAscvrZcQ

Detroit/Chicago vs Boston

I don't live in the area anymore so take my opinion for what its worth but moving them to Auburn Hills is a perfectly fine solution while deciding on how to build a new arena. An even better solution is to just start built building it right now and have one last season at the Joe. Personally, I say build now and screw the temp home.

The question doesn't even make sense since we'll win the series.

Howard's not the problem and Ozzie's not the solution to what the actual problem is.

LGW!

"WHEN" we play the Sharks, not if.

LGW! Go hard, today, Can’t worry about the past, cause that was yesterday, Ima put it on the line cuz it’s my time, I gotta stay on my grind cuz it’s my time, My time, my time, If your with me let me hear you say, Go Wings! If your with me let me hear you say, Go Wings! It’s my time

Hawks fans here seem to be a bit riled that Toews isn't a finalist.

LGW!
