2009-2010 Chicago Blackhawks~ The Team Tallon Built

Good post Eric... and I had no idea he spoke confidently outside of the public eye. He was def. stuttering/stammering yesterday though. Then again, so was Bettman.



And yea I agree with your last paragraph. I said awhile back in the STH thread that I agree that McD is an asshole and fucked over Tallon but lets reserve judgement on Bowman for awhile and lets re-evaluate him after 3-5 years instead of crucifying him now.[/quote]

the problem is that Scooter participated in the backstabbing debacle with McD. That's where people have a problem with him.

Signing Hossa, re-signing Keith, Toews and Kane (something every Hawk fan wanted), trading Barker for Johnsson (can't predict injury) and Leddy has shown he can manage the team. He was obviously able to express himself with confidence to their agents and Minnesota's GM. I presume you have listened to the Blackhawks Insider Podast for the past 3 years on which Bowman has been a part of? He always seems to speak comfidently on them. And just to diffuse any "Yeah, but that's pre-recorded" objection, I sat in on his Q&A session at the Convention and he "made the grade there". But once again, the ability of my favourite team's GM to pubicly express himself is far far down on my list of priorities. I just think you're really grasping at straws here man. Besides, I thought this thread was about Tallon, not anti-Stan Bowman.



I get the sense that many would rather see Stan fail just so they can say they're right and that's fucked up. Scooter, TAO, Silver Spoon, whatever, he's the GM of my favourite NHL team and I want to see him be successful.[/quote]



A. Those were all no brainers. ANYONE could have signed them.



B. There IS a world of difference going into an internal interview where you have NO doubt as to the questions you'll receive. He looked scared shitless that some reporter might say the "T" word.



C. I have been a Hawk fan longer than you've been alive. I want nothing more than to see this team be successful, which demands the best qualified people on and off the ice. I don't think that is the case right now, and I hope to hell that they prove me wrong.

I was not able to attend Saturday nights game. The sign was left with a trusted

friend who sent me a sincere apology saying they had left it behind by accident on

Saturday. Due to other reasons they could not get the sign back to me in time for

todays game.



I hope it gets to make more appearances yet!

That was a great article. I didn't like the last sentence when he said that Tallon's name will be left off the cup. I thought some people here mentioned it would be, I hope to hell he gets on there.

I'm not sure it could happen since he works for another organization now, but if the Hawks front office wants to show any class, they will let the League make the decision and submit his name if the Hawks win.



I'm not going to hold my breath for that.

Rocky has the ability to give him a ring and put his name on the cup if he wants to. (technically he was with the team through the WCF) It's totally up to Rocky

At this point, best case scenario is Scotty pulls off such an amazing summer that no one remembers who Tallon is until we play the panthers down the line and throw him a heritage night.
