This is just too awesome. As a kid, I never thought I would see the Blackhawks win a Cup. I know I have repeated myself with that subject, but I don’t know how else to explain it. Now, three Cups? If I ever told anyone ‘yes’, I’m a terrible liar. There is just so much to discuss.
Game 7 against the Kings last year made my heart drop. It was a deflection into the net in overtime. I would think that most teams wouldn’t even get close to that the very next year. The Blackhawks, on the other hand, make it a priority to redeem themselves. I love this fucking team. Have I doubted them in certain games? I think others may have as well throughout the playoffs. But, as a great team does, they remind you to never doubt them.
With all of the garbage that we heard about locker room issues this year, nothing phased them. There were reports of fights, due to players fucking other players’ wives and girlfriends (and even a sexy meteorologist). None of that seemed to have phased them. The only reason why some of the media made a big deal out of it was because of what happened last year in Game 7 (when some of these fights allegedly, happened) and what was going on in the winter. The Blackhawks were slumping a bit halfway through the year.
Instead of letting it get to them, they settled in and did what they did best: kick other teams’ asses.
As it was in 2010, the Blackhawks will need to get rid of some players. But I am so damn happy right now, I’ll worry about that later.
Time to celebrate.

Just a thought:
We have spent so much time on this site bitching and badmouthing the coaches, GMs and owners of every Chicago team on this site, and all Joel Quenneville has done is guide this team to three Stanley Cups in six years.
Might I propose, in honor of and out of respect for his leadership and guidance (which has been seriously lacking among the Cubs/Sox/Bears/Bulls/etc), that we put on the masthead ALL HAIL JOEL QUENNEVILLE for one week?
Your thoughts?
CELEBRATE!!!
CHICAGO! BLACK! HHAAAWWWKKSS!!
Because politically incorrect nekkid INJUNS!!!
…and still more INJUNS!!!

DVX, I may just do that.
But none of us regulars here ever doubted Quenneville (I criticized him in 2009-2010 for him continuously going to Cristobal Huet in net, but he realized before the playoffs that Antti Niemi was better) but he’s done just about everything right since.
I’ll get to work on it soon, DVX. By the way, are you coming back to the Midwest anytime soon?

Ditka would have played one on five and survived being struck by REAL lightning between periods.
We all know that personnel changes will be forced on us again, so this one is very sweet.
ALL HAIL JOEL QUENNEVILLE!!!

Sorry if this post is a tad bitter. But I am still up; I fell asleep on the couch around 3:00 while trying to catch up on WRASSLIN’. It only lasted for about ten minutes. I turned on the NBC 5 News at 4:30 and what do I see?
A bunch of bandwagon douchebag “Blackhawks” fans on the North side acting like the fucking hacks that they are. Most of these idiots, who probably didn’t know that Chicago had a hockey team before 2007, were on camera throwing shit at police officers and one moron knocked out a squad van with a brick. One dumb skank was shown getting handcuffed and a few other idiots pushed some of the barricades towards police.
It is completely pointless to go to a bar for a game (either in the suburbs or the city) because of the dumbass bandwagoners who think it’s cool to attack a police horse (this happened in 2013).
Maybe the scumbag mayor would actually take some of that parking meter money and put it in the police department for some protection. I don’t know, maybe some tear gas to spray at these tools?
Dipshits.

So it appears as though the “Class of MLB” Cardinals have been cheating. Interested to see how MLB handles this. Sad thing is this Cardinals’ hacking incident probably won’t get anything close to what New England got for doctoring footballs. Well, aside from the legal repercussions when Houston sues…

ALL HAIL JOEL QUENNEVILLE, indeed!!!
A great series, a great Blackhawks TEAM.

Meh. Seeing more of the stuff coming out about this St. Louis cheating scandal, MLB really doesn’t have a choice but to roast them. This is more than them just cheating an Astros franchise which may be the only team who was shittier than the Cubs over the last few years. The Cardinals stole data/conversations on multiple teams from this.
This is real cheating. Bury these Cardinals.

What should we expect from the fucking Retardinals?
