Perhaps with a little more ice time, Eaves could be a 20 goal scorer again.  I know the guy has it in him.  That would be a nice surprise.

Yes, the Hawks got lucky that they didn't have to play the Wings in the WCF.

The Great Marian Hossa Debate will never end. He will never do enough in the future and has not done enough in the past to earn the respect of bitter/fair weather fans. But it can no longer be said that he will never win a Cup. He's played so much hockey over the last 3 years, he's been very polite and gracious when answering questions about his previous losses, and if he didn't show up on the score sheet he still helped out his team. He earned this Cup and more than deserved it.

Kinda hard for him to get a decent fan base when he is on a different team every year.

It is odd to see a thread with that title on a Wings forum.  Unfortunately, there are those who feel that they can tell the rest of us who we can or can't root for, and how our choice determines the depth of our love for the Wings.

Sorry for any bad thoughts I sent your way.  Since you're not one of those, I'll go back and give you a +.  Pax?

Thanks for understanding.  No, I am not one of those who tells anyone who they can and can't root for.  I just chose to root for the Wings, and don't really have an opinion otherwise.  I love the game, it just doesn't make me go yay when it's not the Wings lifting that shiny trophy.  I guess I was a little vague in my post, whereas my intention was misconstrued.  My intention wasn't to say "You can't root for any team other than the Wings", but being a smart ass and saying "Geez..... How could you want any other team to win, makes me sick"   Oh well.

Fans of any team can post in this forum if they abide by the rules and don't troll.  I certainly welcome them.

And what are we supposed to do now that there are only 2 teams left and the Wings are out?

And while I know a good bit of it is in fun, some in here definitely go overboard with the bulls**t of real vs. fake fans given by your own personal lists of criteria which are bulls**t.  Just because you make the rules of being a fan doesn't make them true.  (generally speaking here, not focusing on anybody in specific)

I want to see the Blackhawks win now.  Why?  The Wings are out, I have some family that live in Chicago and it'd be cool for them to experience, I have a friend who lives down here who is a Hawks fan from Chicago, and I personally don't like Philly sports all that much.  If you don't like it, that's your tough luck.  Who I want to win or root for does not make me any better or worse of a fan than anybody else in here.

So you can take your "You're not a real Red Wing fan" if you root for the Blackhawks or a team that Pronger plays on or whatever thought process and shove it up your rear end.

I can't help but feel like you're attacking me there.  Sorry that I only like to see the Wings win the Stanley Cup, and really don't care who wins otherwise (not that I don't like watching it, I just don't have an opinion one way or another).  Sorry to offend you so badly.  I guess I can't make a comment saying that a thread like "please chicago win the stanley cup" is best reserved for a Hawks forum (being a rival fan, making a rival comment).  I guess poking a little fun at you guys that want Philly or the Hawks to win is also a bad thing (like by saying it makes me sick).  Some of you fellas on here need to lighten up a little bit.

Hey OP, post on a Blackhawks forum.  In case you can't read, this is letsgoWINGS.com.  Geez.  C'mon guys, wanting to see another team win the cup........ That makes me sick  

Only team I was rooting for in the playoffs was the Wings.  Only thing I'm looking forward to is seeing the Pens lose.

Williams Williams do not dress
Williams Williams will never impress

Williams Williams I will not mind
Williams Williams if you're never re-signed

Williams Williams you cannot hit
Williams Williams pack your s***

At least the fans booed when a beer bottle got thrown on the ice.

I bet that was Williams last game wearing a winged wheel.

Wow, I figured Ozzie would have a shot after the Edm game.

Their goalie had like a 4.00 something GAA, never won a game.  The Oilers are like 30th defensively.  You can't lose games like this, especially to the bottom team in the league, when you are in the race for the playoffs.  They should've peppered him with shots, he would've eventually let in a few, or let up a few nice rebounds.  Why is it that a no name goalie always has the game of his life against this team?  Damn.

Busting ass, burning eyes, scoring goals.
