union drone 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I don't know what they've been putting in the Kool-Aid over in Chicago, but there are some serious delusions over there: Blackhawks following in the Wings footsteps, but MUCH FASTER!! http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=542195 Byfuglien should become another Iginla soon. http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=541116 ...and let's not forget that Duncan Keith is at least as good as Lidstrom! http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=532854 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Homerism abounds for fans of any team, even this one, so you'll see some bias there that Chicago is probably better than normal as well as doom-and-gloomer posts that they are terrible since those guys watch Blackhawk games more, but those two blurbs are a little over the top.

I understand and forgive a certain amount of healthy homerism. The Hawks fans certainly have far more to cheer about than they probably have in nearly a decade. In fact, I am excited to see a divisional rival, original six, major market team step up to the plate. BUT, the fans there are saying some pretty ridiculous things (and not just the posts that I included links for)!!! I can count on one hand the number of active D-men who deserve to be mentioned in the same discussion with Lidstrom. Duncan Keith is not one of them. Also, the Hawks are certainly moving up in the world, but to compare their rise to the Wings rise is premature at very best. The Hawks have yet to make the playoffs, much less win four cups in 11 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) From those boards: The Hawks are in great shape. I think with the Huet signing they solved the biggest organizational question mark from last season and thrust themselves into the playoff race again. But they're still over the cap. Something has to give, and I believe his name starts with an "R" and ends with an "obert Lang." Haha. Oh, and the guy said 'Linstrom,' not 'Lidstrom.' That basically removes his credibility to begin with, it would see. Edited August 30, 2008 by Crymson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) I don't know why guys even bother reading other teams message boards, because this kind of stuff happens on all of them, no matter what team it is. What do you really expect them to say? "Yeah, those Red Wings are awesome. I mean, even though I hate them and more than any other team, and hope they disband and move to Biloxi, MS, I still think their the greatest thing since sliced bread at the same time. Even their 4th liners should be in the HOF, because they play for the RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!" The Lidstrom thing is ridiculous, but the rest of it is just basic homerism. Believe it or not, it actually happens on this very forum as well, so we're not all perfect. Edited August 30, 2008 by Kp-Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yemack 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Maybe he watched the '08 NHL awards ceremony and got confused. I'm sure NHL08 has an internal programming that prevents such a ridiculous thing to take place. Even if Keith amasses tons of points and all, Lidstrom will automatically win because Kieth plays for Chicago. We all know nobody cares about chicago.

union drone 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I don't know why guys even bother reading other teams message boards ...for a little thing called perspective. If I only listened to everyone telling me how great the Wings are, I would be no better than the Hawks fans. What do you really expect to say? "Yeah, those Red Wings are awesome. I mean, even though I hate them and more than any other team Despite the fact that every team has raging homers, every team has a number of fans who are level-headed and give credit where credit is due. I think that the majority of LGW users will admit that some of their most hated opposing players are good at what they do (e.g. Pronger, Crosby, Phaneuf, etc). Even their 4th liners should be in the HOF, because they play for the RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!" I would bash a comment like this as much, if not more so, than the Hawks fan's comment about Keith.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Dustin Byfuglien is my favorite Hawks player in a while...you know why? Because he plays for a division rival that looks to be respectable again...and his name, even if mispronounced, includes FUGLY. That's more gold than Michael Phelps.

Holmstrom96Screens 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) I don't know why guys even bother reading other teams message boards humor I post on the Hawks boards and it's pretty funny some of the stuff they say. initially joined out of curiousity as to why they hated us so much. I think I know now. they say things like 'detoilet' and 'wangs' instead of callin us 'wings' I just laugh. It is childish to use those words. and humorous to see them say it.

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Holy hell... With Byfuglien becoming another Iginla, Duncan becoming another Lidstrom, Toews becoming another Yzerman, and they probably consider Kane to be another Crosby, and maybe consider Barker another Bourque... They are going to have quite the stacked team when these guys reach their full potential! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
