longshot7 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I always said I'd jump back on the bandwagon when Dollar Bill died. He did, and now I'm back. Yes, it helps that the team is good, but so what? When you're as bad as the Hawks were for so long, you gotta take all the fans you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Kaner's 2nd goal won that game for us. I know a lot of people would say Burish's goal...a 4th line goal, was the big one. But just look at Luongo after Kane tied it at 5. He had no way of stopping us. I think Rosenbloom said it best. Kane's 2nd goal was opportunity, Toews 2nd goal was luck and Kane's third goal was skill. Any way the Nucks wanted to play, the 'hawks played...and eventually beat them. I really don't think it matters who the 'hawks play because after destroying Luongo, they have the confidence to beat anyone. Even the Dead Wings. BTW, Luongo has NEVER allowed 7 goals as a Canuck. NEVER. In fact...the last time he allowed 7 or more goals were back-to-back games in 1999-2000: Luongo with the Islanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The bandwagon thing is kind of hard to call with the Hawks. They were huge in the early 90's and then they turned into the worst franchise in all of sports not that long ago. I was a season ticket holder from 92-07....not a bright move giving them up. We cancelled the day before Kane was drafted. There were times when I would just not go because they were so bad and it was not worth spending more money on them. When they had the ABC line I think I went to 3 games and simply threw out tickets to another 8 to 10 or so. Does this make me a bad fan? I am a season ticket holder for the White Sox and have been since 1990. If this team stays as hard to watch as they are now I will discontinue going this year. The enjoyment is not there and it cost to much to have a good time and watch miserable baseball. As hard as the Sox are to watch right now, the Hawks are that enjoyable. Thanks Rock.

Sonik22 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 That game last night was awesome. I don't really care about all the bandwagon fans, it's fun to see people that don't really care for hockey getting excited about this. I've been a Hawks fan my whole life, I remember how excited i was for our playoff series against the Blues in 2002. This is 15416541x better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 15416541x better I remember that series, I was down in Champaign, and we saw on TV that there still tickets available for the home games, which we couldnt believe. We got tix, drove up there, as the Hawks were in the midst of getting shut out for like 8 straight periods or so by Brathwaite. Not fun. The UC wasnt even sold out for the home games that series.

southsider2k5 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 12, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) I hated on Kane, Campbell and Buf all year. I am glad I was proven wrong. I think Buf really got into Roberto's head early in the series and it affected him throughout. He actually was about to break down after the game. He had to walk away becasue he was crying or about to. It was a great moment becasue you saw the emotion and the impact of losing and his beliefthat he let his team and city down. I actually felt bad for him. I wonder if Lu was hurt worse than he let on when they had the injury stoppage for him in the game. After that point he really seemed to fall apart.

kapkomet Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 12, 2009 -> 12:37 PM) Are they blaming the refs for Vancouver going 1-5 on the power play or for Roberto Luongo playing like Stevie Wonder in the net?

southsider2k5 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 12, 2009 -> 12:28 AM) Yes, I kept thinking that every time I'd see Torchetti behind the bench. Duds still has a big role with the team as well. Like I said, I'd MUCH rather watch Chicago play Detroit then Vancouver play Detroit. At least Chicago will make it fun to watch. And as bad as I hate Detroit in anything, I want to see the Hawks spank the wheel right off their f***ing jerseys. I'm just disappointed for Hordi because this is the best team he's played on and he played a pretty good role in this series. He's finally stepped up in the playoffs, which was good to see. And we used to think he ran a bad PP back in the K's days. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Brent Johnson I was at both games, game 1 was sold out, game 2 wasn't quite. Upper rows of the corners and ends weren't filled.

Thanks for the props on my calling Hawks in 6, btw. Don't be selective or anything. When the Hawks win in 6 and then Caps in 5, I'll give you all the props you want. I don't put much value on predictions, anyone can make them (and certainly anyone does), and whether you are right or wrong, doesn't prove or disprove how much you know about hockey, yes?
