Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

The Late Night Poll: Yeah You Hate The Hawks

Look, I'll be honest about this: I like most of the Hawks fans I've met over the last decade or so. Actually, let me clarify: I like most of the Hawks fans I've met over the last decade except for the last couple years. Like any team that has sudden success, the bandwagon fuckers have come out and diluted the group. The old group drank way too hard and cursed way too much about the right amount and had a good feel for the give-and-take about the trash talk between our fan groups. Hell, they even spawned the Committed Indian (call it Second City Hockey if you must, but I know the paper version better) paper that is a pretty good version of our own.

Now, the fan base is full to the brim with annoying fuckers who don't know who Tony Amonte (let alone fucking Dirk Graham) is and think Jeremy Roenick is an announcer and Chris Chelios was a Red Wing.

Yeah, those people have made me hate the Hawks.

But you? Maybe you've got more history in this rivalry. Maybe you remember Mikita and Hull. Maybe you remember hating Probert. Or Magnuson. Or maybe it was Belfour.

Who knows? What I do know is that if you're a Blues fan and you utter the words, "I'm rooting for the Hawks," you will definitely hear about it from your fellow fans. You'd better anyway.

Whatever the reason, here's your late night poll. Make it happen.

Poll
Why don't you want the Blackhawks to win the Cup?
I used to like their fans. Then I found them annoying. This would make them Red Wingian.
18 votes
I'm rooting for the Hawks to win. And for the Cubs to win. Mainly because I want to see what the end of the world looks like.
20 votes
If they lose, I'll be at the rink extra early next year waiting for that douchebag in the indian headdress to show up.
16 votes
I'm a Blues fan. My father taught me to hate the Blackhawks just as his father taught him to hate the Blackhawks. Just as I am teaching my son to hate the Blackhawks.

I have a bet going with a hawks fan

If the hawks win the cup I have to wear a dress and put a picture of it up on facebook saying I am a hawks fan. If they win, she has wear my Jackman jersey saying she really loves the Blues. I figured the dress would be less embarrassing than a hawks jersey.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.

Crosby and Malkin. Two girls, one cup.

i hate

the blackhawks. more than detroit, more than san jose. i hate the fucking blackhawks. i hate erik daze, old number 55. i hate chris chelios and his goddamned chili. i couldn’t believe we signed belfour, and i dont like it when people mention brett hull has a personal connection to the team. it took me a while to enjoy wayne’s world because they ate at stan makita’s, and i refused to talk to cock suckers from new trier in college. i respect cab drivers. i hate the wertz’s. i only like the sutters that never played for or coached the team. i could, obviously, go on.

go flyers.

Didn't OUR Sutter coach the Hawks for a while?

Or do we give that the Brett-Hull-as-a-Redwing amnesia treatment?

If you substitute "mom" for "dad" in that last one...

… it’s perfect. Mom & Pop got into a huge fight Sunday about if rooting for the Hawks since they’re from the same division was appropriate or not. After much yelling, Mom won. She reeeeeeeeeeeally hates the Blackhawks.

Me, too.

That’s why I snapped this ditty year before last — So that everyone could hate him on sight.

If I could add one option to the poll...

… it would simply read: BBEEELLLLLLLFFOOUUURRRRRR.

The Hawks aren't so bad, honestly...

…or would you prefer to see Mr. Gap-Tooth skate the Cup again while wearing a sweater other than the ’Note?

Fan ta the Flyers and Chris Pronger. At least Brett Hull never forgot the place that made him a star.

And at least the Hawks play out West, and have to make the same 6-hour red-eye flights between road games that the Blues and the rest oif the Western Conference teams do… none of those douchebag 45-minute jaunts between “road” games that the Eastern Conference pussies get to do.

Yeah, pulling for the Hawks is tough… but considering the alternative, I’ll root for the team from my home state (and the team who’s farm club employed my son for a while) every day and twice on Sunday.

Sorry, bro...

…but I’d rather stick a red-hot fork in my eye than pull for any team that employs a couple of jack-offs like Carcillo and Hartnell.

Of course, if I had my ‘druthers, I’d prefer to see the Hawks out on the golf course rather than in the Cup final. But you gotta play the hand you’re dealt. Either that, or fold, and I’m not ready to fold just yet…

I still don't understand why everyone hates Pronger.

He did ask to be traded, ownership demanded that he be traded to get rid of his salary.

Am I missing something?

by gallagher on May 28, 2010 8:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed.

I think a lot of it might have to do with his dirty play. Yeah, he’s dirty. He’s an NHL defenseman, he almost HAS to be by default.

Part of it might have to do with the fact that he won the Cup elsewhere. Geez, do we need to list about 30 bajillion others here? He’s not the only one.

And a small part of it might have to do with what we got in return for him. Other than a robot, that point is valid.

I’ve never found a reason to boo him when he comes to our rink. Seems dense and silly to me.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

I don't hate on Pronger

but got dayum did he take some dumb retaliation penalties that cost us some important games. I understand the mean streak when playing D but at some point you gotta take one for the team. He got sucked in a lot.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
