Say it with us, "Black Hawks Suck!"

By Sean Gallagher

For those of us who are fortunate enough to have seats for tonight, we'll get to say it plenty tonight.

Not literally, Martin! At least not here, I mean.


Black Hawks Suck!

We'll chant it. We'll scream it. We'll say it as a greeting to one another. We'll whisper it to the guy in the bathroom wearing the indian headdress followed closely by, "Now shut the fuck up."

Not that we don't expect a few fans of the Indianhead to show up here, as they usually do. In fact, we welcome them. The Blues/Blackhawks rivalry is always fun, unlike that one we share with the douches from Detroit, who have no idea how to have fun ribbing one another.

Most of us will be down there and unable to live blog this, plus, when we checked in with Brad Lee this afternoon, he was at about his third winery and kept wanting to talk about a bouquet. Whatever the fuck that means, we don't know. But we can guess that it means he's probably not going to be exactly "blog ready" by the time the puck gets dropped.

So this will be your open thread if you're watching this one from home or work or a bar or your girlfriend buddy's house. In case you missed it, here are the story lines that the broadcast team will likely beat into your brains throughout the game:

This is the first professional game where U of North Dakota linemates and friends TJ Oshie and Jonathan Toews will be facing one another.

This is the first game in Joel "Who wants a moustache ride?" Quenneville's career as head coach of the Blackhawks. Let's see, our supposedly high-flying young offense is struggling. You know what we need? A coach who doesn't trust youngsters in key positions during the game and who preaches a stifling defensive mindset. Quick, call Quenneville!

Oh, and Cam Janssen is from nearby Eureka, MO!

Enjoy the game, everyone.

I’ll be there, Sec 307. I’m committed to giving the Indian a massive noogie. Should be a good game!

Just want to say hello from Montreal!!!

Let’s go Blues!!! Hope Boyes scores 3 tonight!!!

I was sad to see Savvy depart as Hawks coach, but that’s life. A marketing move more or less.

Habs are ahead against PHX 2-0, second has started…

Wine is gooood. My wife passed out. Otherwise, I would be there. And no, I ain’t live blogging. But thanks for asking.

Mustache man will have to learn to like playing youngsters… Except for the goalies only two guys on the Hawks over 30 on the team and they both suck. Hell.. only 6 are over the age of 25..

Hello all. My friend Paul Goodloe directed me to come here. Just thought I’d say let’s go Blues.

Hey Mr. Fuller. Good luck on the new gig at CW11. Thanks for stopping by. My barometric pressure is rising with these first goals the Blues are allowing.

by Brad Lee on Oct 18, 2008 7:55 PM CDT reply actions  

Thanks Brad. I love the site. Yeah, the Blues are fucking pissing me off and yeah channel 11, I said “fucking pissing me off.”

Where’s Berglund? Why is Murray fucking with the lines? Why am I cussing? I blame the weather…

by Flash on Oct 18, 2008 8:12 PM CDT reply actions  

Don’t blame the weather asswipe. I’ll send a shitstorm to your fucking house. By the way Berglund has an “upper body” injury. I hope it isn’t the swollen balls like Winslow had.

Three things:
1) What a comeback. Tied up by Macdonald with 13.9 left on the clock.
2) Great goal by Oshie in the shootout…and there are people who say he has stone hands. Retards.
3) Thanks to the Blackhawks fan that streamed the Comcast Blackhawks feed online.

by Dan on Oct 18, 2008 10:25 PM CDT reply actions  

what a finish! Oshie FTW! Although, it shouldn’t have gotten to him. McDonald had Khabibulin beat, but shot the puck clean across the crease. ’Bulin was deked out of his jock…

oh, the joy of witnessing blackhawks [suck!] collapse, and the cocky fans hanging their head to leave. more please!

More on Wednesday when Detoilet fans get to hang their heads, too.

Great game! Blackhawks SUCK! Sad to hear Kane shedding semen tears for faggy Savard. Shows what a douchebag 150 lb punk he his.

by Jihad Joe on Oct 18, 2008 11:06 PM CDT reply actions  

Man, this place was dead during the game. I notice Gallagher hasn’t checked in. And he didn’t return my text. I’m guessing he’s still drinking and teaching his son how to drive.

by Brad Lee on Oct 18, 2008 11:17 PM CDT reply actions  

I was too busy posting at InsideSTLTodaySponge.net.

Between the late comeback, the great OT, the SO punctuated by the whole crowd chanting, “Oshie, Oshie, Oshie” and cheering straight into the faces of the two punk ass Hawks fans sitting behind us, Son of GT and myself were a little too busy.

One of the most entertaining games I’ve ever attended. Especially considering the last three seasons figure heavily into that number.

Dear GT Circulation Manager:

I would like to complain.

The last two games as I came off of Metrolink at the “Civic Center” stop, there has been no one selling GT by the kung-fu bunny. Because I find it extremely difficult to waddle my ass up to section 3XX already, I think it is too much for GT to ask me to cross the street two extra times at 14th & Clark (can I still say, “14th & Clark”, even though I am not a season ticket holder in section 1XX?) to buy my GT at the vendor/editor/owner by the city jail.

In tonight’s, “Blackhawks Suck!” edition (Vol. 4 Issue 3) on the bottom of Page 20, there was a subliminal Q&A of “Wish You Had Game Time When You Watch The Blues At Home? — Subscribe!” Does this mean that you will e-mail me an electronic version? Will this be prior to the game so I can print it and take it with me, or will it be during the game so I can read it on my internet lovin’ phone at the game. Details, man, details! Quantos pesos es?

(Please take this opportunity to respond with a commercial message about subscriptions.)

Please pass the following onto the editor: Mrs. Milo just saw my post in progress and said, “Those guys are very funny and I like their stuff. I can handle them calling a guy a , ‘pussy’, but tonight’s, ‘period juice’ crossed a line.” While our kids have to learn bad words somewhere, ’period juice" may be a bit hard for the tykes to digest.

Best lines on Metrolink on the way home:
1) Man, those Blackhawks sure know how to blow it."
2) The strangest thing was that Chicago collapsed and it wasn’t even September!"

Dearest Milo (Milo in ‘08!)
We had some distribution issues tonight. Without getting into it too much, we had someone at Metro from 6-6:30 and from 7-7:20. Beyond that, yes, you’re gonna need the cops to look the other way as you go katy-corner across to see John at the NE corner of 14th & Clark.

Also, expect that the Metro spot will only be staffed during the Blues’ ‘premium’ games (Saturdays, big matchups). Otherwise that shit is a dog for us.

As for subscriptions, you get a pdf version of the paper (suitable for printing… or framing!) day of game. That version costs you basically $2/issue pro-rated for the rest of the season. Of course, then it’s printed on your crappy paper and stapled with your shitty staples.

And for the lovely Mrs Milo, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but just the re-telling of the ‘period juice’ joke made me laugh, so it’s a safe bet that you’re in big trouble as far as that goes.

Thanks to all who bought a copy tonight. We had a technical glitch (caused totally by me), but again you all were more than accomodating. And yes, James, I know we owe you a buck next game.

by gallagher on Oct 19, 2008 1:16 AM CDT reply actions  

As a guy that works at scottrade my only complaint is that you need to sell more to the rich folks. When I used to work up top it was always easy to find a spare copy that someone left behind after the game, but now that i work in the club with the rich I can’t ever find them.

This isn’t a very good complaint. I’ll try harder next time.

by IrishBlue on Oct 19, 2008 2:52 AM CDT reply actions  

Don’t forget about “Snatch Juice.”

Great Game!
