2009-2010 Blackhawks Lord Stanley Bonertime Thread

[R-V]

When Kane made the shot in OT, I was the only person in the bar that realized it went in and started running around like Kane did, then everyone else caught on a few seconds later. It was pretty funny to see our bar reacting almost exactly like the boys on the ice did.

Man I know I just posted but I'm so fucking happy. JR was my child hood hero, seeing him get emotional last night was just one of the best things I have ever seen.

FUCKING BLACKHAWKS!!!!!!

A whole lot of THIS.  For both posts.  You DPD.

You know, you could change the thread title any time now.

I didn't think they were gutless assholes then, and I don't think they are now.  So, let's just stay ironic.

IRONY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!

Whatever.

Irony is for T-shirts only.

and some coffee mugs.

Like my Coon Valley, WI mug?

Like rain. On your wedding day.

Well, we're having it indoors, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Like a building collapse. On your wedding day?

It's a 60 story building. It'd less irony, more tragedy.

Well, we have 9 days to find out.

The whole It'd?

NHL Network showing all 6 games of the Stanley Cup Finals today.  In case you forgot to DVR Game 6 the first time.

But for cool names, there's not one but two guys named "Brock" in this year's draft class...one, Brock Nelson, is a center who might doff a Hawks' cap at #30. The other one is Brock Beukeboom...the only name that could possible be better than that would be Check Hitsmore.

Well, at least Ben Eager can share concussion stories with Brock's dear old dad.  If they can actually remember them.

The NHLPA (along with extending the CBA through the 2011-12 season) approved the 5% escalator for next year's salary cap, adding $2.8MM, now going up to 59 and change...everyone in Chicago can now exhale.

It means, based on reports that have around $4 million in bonus money rolling over and applying towards the '10-'11 cap hit, the Hawks are probably only around $2.5 million over next season's cap (with 14 players signed), rather than slightly more.

Though only StanBo knows the actual number.

The NHL will take a gander at the TV ratings from this year's finals and determine that the Blackhawks have just enough cap room to keep all their players and attempt a repeat with this team.

It's time for a league conspiracy to start working for US.

As someone who enjoys the benefits of league conspiracies, let me tell you, it's nice to be on the right side of Bettman.

That was totally tongue-in-cheek, by the way.

Also, that $4 million is a one-year cap hit, which means there's tagging room already in place for re-signing Seabrook and Brouwer during the season.

You obviously haven't been drinking the doom-juice David Huh has.

I just read that article, and my only regret is that I can't go back and unread it.

Seems another American player is doing his best to compensate for Sopel marching in the parade:
