2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks/NHL/Stink Bowman should be FYERRED Thread

This fucking team.

Hockey is awesome. Hockey is the worst.

I don't like overtime. It's too much. Can't handle it.

I don't think there's any sport that commands the viewer's attention like it. (Look out, n00b stating the obvious here.)  Something amazing can happen at any moment with no warning. Roles get reversed in mere seconds. I was so invested during OT I simply couldn't look away. Haven't felt like that as a spectator in a long time. No wonder you all love/hate/love this so much.

I work from home and usually try to get stuff done with a regular season sporting match on TV in the background. I can easily do this with baseball, and sometimes basketball, but never with hockey. Even average games command your attention.

Here's some bullshit to be tolerated.

So absent parking and concessions and league revenues for merchandise and they are breaking even in a year they lost 17 home dates.    Its a shame that the 'Hawks dont provide any other income potential to Rocky and the family.

And also note that the rent to UCJV is essentially flowing back to themselves.

I hate the way they have decided to resolve ties in collegiate football.  Starting the game with 4 downs from the twenty yard line, then giving the ball to the other side with the same opportunity is football's answer to the designated hitter.  What's wrong with ending the game with a tie?  (Except, of course, in a playoff or championship game, where I would be content with using the NFL rule)

Ties are stupid, but the college overtime is even stupider.
