Lol. You are just sooo cool. Oh wait, just kidding! You really do need to get a life, seriously. Sooo while my wife and I were spending the better half of the day at Silver Lake sand dunes and resort, playing, riding, and chilling on the beach soaking up some sun... you are in your moms basement desperately looking for internet spelling errors. Do you think I care about a missed letter? How sad of life you must have?! Please save valuable oxygen and kill yourself. Thank you.

Wow, you sure do think yourself perceptive. Also, way to go on needing to pump yourself up and feel like you're really doing something in life---as compared to other people---in order to feel well about yourself. Keep at it, champ.

Congrats to you and your wife. Hopefully for you she won't realize how insecure and emotionally violent a person you are.

Lol. And you wish to call out my grammar? ^ Hypocrite.

Get a life.

I don't see it as drama at all. He liked where he worked, they probably screwed him. It's the nature of the business, but he's 100% in the right to show how, on their part, they were conducting bad business for players. Too bad we live in a society that glorifies (and defends) business so much rather than consumerism or openness. That's likely a key factor as to why businesses take advantage of stupid people so much.

Great Havlat info!

As I said in a previous post, Chicago will fall as long as that dips*** John McDonough has his nitty paws in the decision making. Chicago just got significantly worse this year.

Aside from reaching out via Twitter, Havlat has been silent and wants to move on and focus on his new home and opportunity with the Minnesota Wild. However, Havlat also wants to clear the air and set the record straight and has offered his thoughts exclusively to TSN.ca on a number of issues he observed while in Chicago, starting with his failed negotiation.

"My negotiation with Chicago was not between Dale and my agent, it was between Dale and McDonough," Havlat said "Why? Because McDonough couldn't stand that Dale was so successful and getting the credit for building the Hawks from a last place team to making the Conference Final in three short years. Remember, we were also the youngest team in the NHL last year."

"I was too closely identified with Dale," he continued. "McDonough knew long ago he was going to fire Dale. He wanted someone he could claim as his own He wanted to stand up at the convention and claim credit for signing this guy or that guy."

Havlat's candor won't be easily accepted by the Blackhawks, and there may be claims of this being nothing more than the backlash of a jilted player, but Havlat's appreciation for Dale Tallon is what drove him to speak up mere hours after Tallon's firing was confirmed.

"Dale and I were very close and I stand for loyalty. The players loved Dale and they are with him. Every single player on that team is with Dale. I still talk to the guys all the time, hockey players know a phony when they see one."

"I was part of a very special team but that team doesn't exist anymore. I am really disappointed that Rocky Wirtz would let something like this happen," Havlat told TSN.ca.

Havlat's parting request follows up on a tweet sent on Tuesday. A challenge for the Blackhawks faithful who may share his views on Chicago's future.

"It's up to the fans now to be heard on this. If you care about the direction of the team, do something about it," Havlat concluded.

That's powerful stuff from a player who loved Chicago, loved the Blackhawks organization, and clearly has a deep connection with Dale Tallon, now the former general manager.

Great Havlat info!

Here is your reason why Twitter is ***. Just kidding but seriously I don't get the whole point of Twitter. What a mess the Blackhawks got themselves into.

I'd take you learning to spell players` names before wishing they were on the team.

You got no life for sitting here and correcting other peoples post when they misspell a word. You sir... get a life.

[Guest Crymson]

Lol. And you wish to call out my grammar? ^ Hypocrite.

Get a life.

I never called out your grammar---I called out your inability to spell the name of the player whom you were discussing. Out of curiosity, where fell my grammatical errors?

I already have a life, but thanks; and unlike you, I don't need to describe it to people on the internet in order to try and make out mine to be better than theirs.

Before we built the team we have now, when Bowman was the guy running the show, we shipped out plenty of "loyal" guys in order to put the team together that Bowman wanted. A lot of people hated Bowman. Fans didn't care for him much at all at times. Rumors of an Yzerman trade to Ottowa didn't help that no doubt. Players also didn't care for him because he wasn't a Dave Lewis "2nd Father" type of guy.

It was one of his former players who put it best - "You hated Scotty for 364 days a year, but on the 365th day, you collected your Stanley Cup rings."
