2009-2010 Blackhawks Lord Stanley Bonertime Thread

[Philberto]

It was pretty interesting how the story was told without any narration, just anecdotes from some of the main players and the discussions between Berg and Gretzky. I had forgotten how emotional Grtetzky was at the press conference. And there were some pretty sweet mullets in the tapes from the '80s, especially one young kid who was helping pull a curtain out before introductions.

I still remember the Hockey News headline - "99 Tears".

If Pocklington hasn't taken such a financial fisting, and had been able to keep that team completely intact, they would of won 10 Cups.

Fisted foul.

That was for the HUEBITER's benefit.

I don't get it.

Also, Khabibulin, Kyle Ortman, Mark DeRosa.  Why do so many people around here have such a keen interest on ordinary players who don't even play for our teams anymore?

BECAUSE THEY'RE ORDINARY BLUE-COLLAR GUYS JUST LIKE ME YOU STUPID FUCK.  THEY COME TO WORK WITH A LUNCHPAIL AND HARDHAT AND DO THEIR JOBS AND GROW THEIR STUBBLE AND DON'T BITCH ABOUT STUFF.

At least Khabi had some playoff success, which is more than could be said for the other two.

[/Seeking to head off the kvetching and the obligatory parallels being drawn to the DeRosa situation when Havlat gets his inevitable standing ovation at the UC in a couple weeks with the Wild, since the two situations are not really that similar].

On a separate note, Versteeg has improved at the hockee. And he was already damned good last year.

[Gil Gunderson]

Again, may I note that this still does not have an active Hossa and they already look like the best team in the West?

[Waco Kid]

Good to see Huet have a solid game.

He got booed at the UC in preseason.

Neither of those responses are acceptable.

THIS.

Hossa and Toews have zero goals, and only the Rangers (28) have found the net more than the Hawks (26--tied with Washington).

Only Buffalo has more shots on goal per game, and no one has allowed fewer shots against per game.

[Oleg]

I love this team.

[Slaky]

I love this team.

And I really do think Huet is going to step up his game. He's not this bad.

I can't believe the angst over Toews' lack of goals (not here, but in general).

Fucking guy has 4 helpers, is +6, and is over 60% in the faceoff circle. He's fucking awesome.

[Gil Gunderson]

Agreed.  Could we at least give him like 20 games or so before we start demanding that Bowman go after some scrub like Biron, or some other equally terrible piece of shit?

Huet for Peavy.

Brian Campbell has seven points in seven games and is a plus-4 so far.

[Quality Start Machine]

Hossa is skating with the Hawks today.

HockeeBoner is fully engorged.

[Indolent Reader]

The schedule sets up pretty favorably with a lot of home games while he is out.
