Hard to argue considering that the United Center boasted attendance averages well below 10,000 per game in a 21,000 seat arena for years, while many Hawks "fans" couldn't remember if it was Kane or Toews who led Chicago in points in 2007 despite not having even been drafted yet. If Chicago had such great fans, then why did they start going to games only when the Hawks weren't the laughingstock of the NHL any longer? Not to mention that most Hawks "fans'' are right up there with Nashville and Pittsburgh in terms of hockey sense, shrieking and screaming for a penalty every time their player trips over himself. Not to mention the moronic "Detroit sucks!" chants when Chicago isn't even playing Detroit.

Example?

Strange that no Hawks "fans" have infiltrated yet.

The only thing I'm counting down are the days till January 20, 2013. The person below me cannot decide between Bob Evans and IHOP.

I've found being direct works much better. Walt Disney World or Universal Studios

I don't doubt for a second that the Red Wings will get up for this game. Whether that translates onto the ice is a different thing. I'm looking at you, Leino.

If the Hawks win, most of their "fans" no doubt will be foaming at the mouth and shrieking that the tables have turned and blah blah blah, despite Detroit missing half their lineup.

I guess we can expect Kopy to come out tomorrow and say they'll need to bring their "A" game because it feels fantastic to beat Detroit, despite never having done so.

Doesn't matter to me, because in Michigan we get 10 cents back for either of them Eating unhealthy but delicious food and being overweight, or eating bland, tasteless but healthy food and being fit? And must be one or the other, no a little of both.

Never done that with a knife, but have done that with several other things. The person below me feels like something is missing from life.

Don't like coming back to see a loss

Don't forget, May is in the lineup. We're guarunteed no injuries today.

If we're able to keep getting points with nearly half our regulars out of the lineup, then he absolutely must be considered.

Pavs must step up today. Absolutely must.

Sugar, as it would be easier to brush off. McFlurry or Frostee?

Whose Line: One of the funniest shows ever The person below me has specific Christmas traditions.

Howard confirmed in goal against Dallas, while Ozzie gets the start against the Hawks. Keep up the good play Howie!!

I wonder which poster is a Red Wings player.

Leino needs to step the hell up and play like he did last year. I was excited to have him in the lineup this season after seeing him last season, but he's vastly underachieved this year.

Please get well soon, Hank. We need you.

In other news, Bettman will soon confirm wanting two additional NHL teams, one located in Jackson Hole, WY and in Santa Fe, NM.
