Most of those old teams have enjoyed plenty of wins in their history. I'm much more likely to always pick the underdog, the team that hasn't hoisted the trophy - and if the finals are between teams that have all been winners I typically go for the one that has won it the fewest times.


That's a pretty cool way to look at it.

All right people. Don't play the laughing boys (and girl). There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures (or favorite teams...) and the BlackHawks.

Secord and Savard. Even if they are much older than me.


One would still kick my ass and the other I still wouldn't be able to catch. Still, I would punch both in the face and live with it.

Must be what I can't give up on.
That hatred was deeper than I thought it was.
But Goddamn, those games were intense.
There was a very good chance that at ANY time, a major, someone-could-die, brouhaha could happen.
Never been in any building since, with that kind of tension.

People were hanging Dino the Dinouaur teddy bears in effigy and screaming horrible things about Ciccerelli. Horrible things. I pointed out that Dino was the best player on the ice that night (because I call things like I see things, and he clearly was the best player that evening). I was attacked by a drunk on my way to the bathroom because he disagreed with my opinion. Those were some crazy crowds in that old barn.

Good old days


It was fun, even though the place was a dump. We could not watch the games on television because the Wirtz family would not permit television contracts, with the exception of something called "HawkVision". The only way to see a game was to go to the Stadium. It brought out all kinds of fans.

I want the Lightning to win it all. Not because I like them but I can never root for the Hawks, hate the Rangers and the Ducks.


I like the Ning best of the remaining 4 as well.

That seems to be the sentiment for most of us on here. It does suck however that the teams from Florida can win a cup and we still don't have one in the state of hockey.

Only to find out after the game he was playing on a broken foot. No wonder he didn't look himself out there.

That's why it would be great! Although, not good for the overall health of the game.

If they score a quick goal, they can crank up pressure. The Hawks are tough to beat when their defense is playing as good as they are tonight.
