What is this,,, this crapola about cheering for the Hawks?

by spectr17 on Feb 15, 2009 6:56 PM CST

Lately I've seen some posts by folks saying they are rooting for the Hawks to beat someone above the Blues in the standings. That or they are glad the Hawks are doing good so the rivalry will heat up.

What? Over.

Blues fans never ever root for the Hawks, to do so is slap wrong. Hawks and their fans are born booger eaters. You can root for the other team to lose but you can never cheer a Hawk team or player. It's the same reason cats don't play with dogs. It's like crossing the streams on a proton pack. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. That's what happens when you cheer for the Hawks

Is this cheering the Hawks a new thing? I know us Blues fans from the 60s and 70s would never even entertain the thought of rooting for Chicago. Why, I'd belly crawl across broken glass just to boo a Hawk. I think some Blues fans need to flush out their headgear since we will soon be in battle with the Hawks in the playoffs and we need all hands rowing in the same direction.

What say ye?

I say that thee is most right.

Fuck Chicago, Fuck Detroit. If you want to root for someone to beat the teams ahead of us, root for the Blues.

Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

Yeah okay. Whatever. I guess you care about hockey.

Sometimes people’s ineptitude amazes me. Then I look around the world I currently live in and realize that it is not very shocking at all.

As long as Chicago is competitive it’s a good thing. The games become more interesting. In the end this is a fucking form of entertainment. Some of us pay for this entertainment so the better the quality the better bang for our buck.

Then there’s the fact the Blues have quite a few teams ahead of them in the standings. So my hope is for them to have a hell of a finish to the end of the season and find themselves there.

Sometimes for this to happen it causes me to root for teams I might not normally do so. If that makes me less than a fan than you so be it. I’ll trade that in for a playoff spot.

Hell most nights I find myself rooting for Detroit, Calgary and who ever else sits atop of their division because we won’t catch those teams and they get the top three spots. So the more they win—AS LONG AS IT ISN"T AGINST US—the better our chances of catching the teams ahead of us.

So if you want me to go fuck myself, not a problem. As long as the Blues win.

I never thought I'd say this, but. . .

I’m with Henry Miller’s Used Penis. I cheer for the Blues.

Don’t get me wrong,the old “Bellll-fourrr!” chants were awesome and if someone started one up at a Blues-Hawks game right now, I’d join in. But if the Hawks or Wings beating up on the Predators and Coyotes can help the Blues get into the playoffs, I’m all for it.

There’s 2 ways to do it. Root for the team playing the Hawks or Detoilet to lose or root for the Hawks or Detroit to win. Either way the result is the same.

Which one sounds the best? Root for the Hawks? Pa-tooey. No thanks

Would this include having Hawks or Redwings players on your Fantasy Hockey team?

Guilty Parties! You know who you are! How do you sleep at night while holding out for a Blues win and good stats for your Hawks or Redwings players? You’d better be benching them when they play the Blues or I question your fan integrity. ;)

Fantasy Hockey story

Of my first four picks, three of them were Hossa, Lidstrok, and Campbell.

Lucky for me, I was able to spin them around to the guy that had Ovechkin.

Woohoo!

If you support the Hawks

you encourage asshats like this one to show up at our pond…

/I certainly hope this guy didn’t leave unscathed the other night

Let's go Blues!!!

That guy comes to every Blues/Hawks game.

And I’m sure he’s wearing that stuff with only the highest regard for the native American culture. Doin’ it with dignity and honor, that guy.

A guy like that...

Is great b/c of how obvious a target he makes himself and how he represents those hated teams.

As for my fantasy team—it contains some Hawks and Red WIngs players on it. OMG no not that. The Blues are my favorite. But I am a fan of the sport and Zetterberg is money.

of course...

The idea was since I’m in a league where everyone else is from Michigan and only three of us are Blues fans, I had hoped that by drafting him I could later trade him to some Dead Wings fan at a huge price. Unfortunately, those greedy son of bitches wouldn’t fall for it.
