Congrats to the Hawks fans. My condolences to the Flyers fans. It was a pretty good series. The teams looked evenly matched until game 5 when the Hawks blew it out. I have to admit, I was rooting for the Flyers last night. I just wanted there to be one more game before the 4 month hiatus.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Congratulations to all of the Hawk fans, this is a well deserved Cup for the great city of Chicago. I know how you guys feel after waiting over 50 years for the Red Sox to go past coming close and finally winning a title. All of you folks, especially Tom enjoy this one.:tu

tom...nobody is happier for you than i am.where were you at midnight when i called ;) ???.

i think the hawks should have given pronger the puck :D .

how it must suck to be a toronto sports fan now.

best playoffs in a decade or more...the team i was rooting for the whole time won...makes it better.

hangovers suck when you get close to 50 ... neh ???

derrek :hm

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Who won? :rolleyes:











:D.....Congrats Tom and 'Hawks fans.....Watched more hockey in last month than last 5 years!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Midnight? I was about 3/4s of the way into a bottle of Patron, Derrek...I am sorry I was so drunk with excitement (and tequila) that I missed the call, but I loved your message when I heard it.....at 11AM. ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah hawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Time to start the '10-'11 thread? Draft quickly approaching. Gotta start hoping for my Thrashers again. They will have a lot of young guys coming up. It has to be more help for them than Kovalchoke brought for the Devils.

I guess we should give the Hawks fans at least a couple days. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

At least until the parade is over!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Congratulations, my friend. Now you know what I was talking about. Nothing like seeing your team lift the Cup!

That's two for Andrew Ladd. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Blake announced his retirement. Now the Sharks need to not sign nabby as he said. Still hoping patty re-signs

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Big goal for him in the winning game too, Joe! :D

:salute: to Mr. Blake on a fine career.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I was glad he did he had a decent season, but at times this year it was painful to watch him.

An amazing career and a likely hofer

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Congrats the the Hawks and Pops! Maybe the next one can be a little sooner?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

If it isn't, I won't be around to see it, Son. ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

So...did anybody go to the parade today?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I couldn't get caught downtown as I had a funeral to attend..watched it on TV smoking a Cohiba Lancero. Chicago estimated the crowd at 2,000,000...so much for "only 18,000 Hawks fans in Chicago". ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Crazy crowds with the parade and Cubs/Sox game (good game btw ;)) going on today. Fun to watch on TV but kinda glad I didn't go. All the people I talked to said they didn't even get close to a good view. Now the search begins for championship gear once I gather up some money.


2010 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the Blackhawks. Victory, like bourbon, is better the longer you wait for it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I hope it's not another 49 years....'cause I will miss that. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well its finally starting to hit me...hockey season is over. Although this summer will be much more enjoyable then summers past, still cant wait for hockey to start again!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I have really enjoyed July 1st and Draft Day the last few years. Gives you a tiny bit of Hockey in your world when there is nothing else going on.

I like keeping track of the trades on Draft day in particular and which free agents move around up to and on July 1st.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I guess I can open up the '10-'11 thread right after the Awards ceremony. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Funny Tom cause I thought that was you on the left....in Red....:r.....gotta love a parade!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

LOL at adam burish and Chris Pronger.
Personally i thought Pronger had the better quote when he hit him with the minors blast and saying dude had issues for talking smack 5 minutes after winning the cup.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Lots of blogging in Chicago criticizing Burish's comment and timing. Pronger always seems to get the best of the comments, especially putting the media in its place after dumb questions.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The Hawks were honored at Wrigley Field tonight by the Cubs and White Sox....very cool.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow, that has to be the greatest picture I have seen of the recent celebrations. Now I am a Sox fan, but having both teams in the picture makes it a lot cooler. How did that Cubs player sneak right up next to the cup though?! lol

And regarding the Burish quote, I really don't think it was the right time to be insulting another player. During the season it might be ok to get in someone's head, but after winning the cup its really not necessary.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Toews, Kane, Keith and Hossa will be on Jay Leno on Monday night with Lord Stanley's Cup. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That is SWEET!....and I'm not of fan of any of those teams!

Keith: with or without teeth?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

They are still apparently not fixed....Guy on Chicago sports radio said at the parade, Keith looked like the loser of a "bum fight".

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am guessing Keith will get them fixed before June 23rd in case he accepts the Norris Trophy that night. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well, I am still getting hockey a few times a week.....:tu

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks will play an exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Winnepeg in the fall.

True North Sports & Entertainment Limited said Wednesday the Blackhawks will play the Lightning on Sept. 22 at the MTS Center.

The matchup will be the seventh NHL preseason contest hosted by Winnipeg since 1997. The game will be a homecoming for Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, a Winnipeg native.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Thats awesome! Who knows, the Jets may be back in a few years...

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sure hope so for the folks in Winnipeg. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I agree, the NHL needs to take care of Canada.:xxx

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I can't believe this guy's reaction when he found out what happened. I would have killed the girl...quite literally.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Halak got traded to the Blues. I can't believe it after the performance he gave in the playoffs that he would get traded for 2 prospects.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I can't imagine how friggin' mad I would have been. :bx
I heard that yesterday on NHL on XM. I'm with you...I can't believe it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well I guess his stock is at his highest right now. Gotta hope that the Habs know what their doing? :confused: They must think their other guy is better..
