2009-2010 Chicago Blackhawks~ The Team Tallon Built

[Guest]

Mora re quoted that report by the Boston Globe. Mind you that reporter is VERY WELL respected in his field.



Mora did a blog on it, while through out the blog continuously saying he was not sure he agreed with it. A day or two later someone caught WIFF of the blog, it was pulled and low and behold Mora's contract was not renewed.



Just like Tallon if you don't KISS that ******* ass, you are not employed there. Running people by fear apparently is how he goes about being Professional. I say it's quite "slime ball" if you ask me.



It's also why I always tell you to relax when people blow off steam about it. It's one thing being an executive, but another being an asshole while your in that position.

So, if it is so apparent, why hasn't the Chicago media jumped on this? Why was it brushed under the rug? Does Mcdumbass really have that much pull with the Chicago outlets?[/quote]



Here in KC, the Chiefs would give crappy access to "unfavorable" reporters, and the Royals actually pulled the access of a couple of critical radio hosts, so I don't put it past McP to try those shenanigans.



Shitcanning Mora has to affect the Chicago media= are Kuc and Sassone going to cover the Sky or the Fire if they piss McP off?

Just yesterday I had a discussion with one of my business partners and McD came into the fray. He is a lifelong Blackhawks and Cubs fan (in his mid 50's). I told him what an ass I think McD is and he said you (meaning me) are crazy, he has been great for the Blackhawks. After a couple of comments I ended it by saying we can discuss it over a beer sometime if you have an open mind. He knows that I know people as well and am alot more informed then he is. He shrugged it off meaning it will never happen.



Bottom line, it is the mentality you are going to hear from those that do not know better and just ASSUME things which plays directly into McD's favor. He wants everyone to believe that he is part of the rebirth of the Hawks when some, maybe most, here know better.



Ignorance is bliss

Don't confuse my opinion with your facts.

They did, and Josh Mora was fired and now works in Florida.



The "other" media could give a fucking shit and are on for the Bandwagon.



Guys like Rohn suck Mcdonoughs **** so why would they even contemplate shit like this? Guys like Jim Rose are just dumb fucks to begin with. That's the main stream media. Guys like Kuc and Sassone follow the team, so probably do a lot of biting their own lip instead of always typing what they are thinking for believe is true.



Klem you should post that over there in the Tallon thread so that maybe "Hawk Mod" might pull his head out of his fucking ass. At least until Adam see's and DELETES it as for fear Jackass or minions might read what's speculated on the truth.[/quote]



Well, if we know about this and it's been stated in other outside media forums...is it that the bandwagon jumpers just don't give a shit and will turn a blind eye to let this moron continue is propaganda?



then that pic of McDouch with the hitler stach was perfect.

Why would they give a shit? Only the die hards would care either way because we were the ones struggling through them rebuilding the team on the ice. These "new" fans hopped on a winner and will be gone as soon as they are no longer a winner. It happens with every team, the Hawks are no different.



Mcdonough did what he was supposed to, and by winning the TEAM gave him the avenue. Because with NO winning product, marketing a loser is pretty god damn hard unless you're franchise is named the Chicago Cubs. (and no I'm not dissing the Cubs, just stating a fact).



The media that know probably like the access they have to cover the team and know exactly what crossing the line to far will get you. Other media don't give a shit, which is the main stream. You know like Rohn, Rose, Paula, Grecco (who says he's a true fan but was NEVER there when we sucked, he's a liar). Those guys are "bandwagon media". Hop on when things are well, give a blurb at the end of the sports cast when they aren't. What's funny is most of them don't know HALF as much about the game as 90% of this board and try to "report" like they do. Darryl Hawks <sp> from NBC is hilarious. He tries to report like he actually has followed the sport his entire life but you can tell he's completely fucking clueless when it comes to the game.



Also I would classify Rohn and Rozner in a special "dick sucking" group. Those two are so busy blowing the nob of the benevolent one, they could care less what he does. The saddest of the "journalists" IMO.

It's hilarious watching some of these boobs pretend they know what they are talking about. Then there are the ones that just read some canned recap of a game and give zero insight because either they didn't watch or didn't have a clue about rules/strategy.

Toews - Tallon (Easy pick)

Kane - Tallon (Easy pick)

Hossa - Bowman's (We know it was the Bowman's behind this not Dale)

Kopecky - Bowman's

Eager - Tallon

Fraser - Pulford

Byfuglien - Smith pick

Burish - Smith pick

Bolland - Pulford pick

Brouwer - Pulford pick

What would Hawks look like if Seabrook and Keith were not picked by Smith?

What would Hawks look like if Brouwer and Bolland were not picked by Pulford?

You guys sure it was all Tallon? Keith/Seabrook were huge picks by Smith.



Is this HONESTLY the team that Tallon built?

Picked and or Developed. How many times do you think other teams offered Stars for Seabrook and Keith before they were stars and he never traded them?



This IS the team Tallon built together. Regardless of who picked each player. Everyone on this team BEFORE this year, was Tallons team. Period.

 

[Ton]

Bolland and Brouwer (the Killer B's draft) may look like Pulford picks since he was "technically" GM at the time, but that draft was the precursor to Tallon becoming GM, and I've heard many whispers that he was actually in charge of that draft to prepare for his GM role that he was being groomed for.

Anyone who associates Tallon's name with the Huet signing is a fool, plain and simple.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

FYI That's not my list so I'm glad I saw your reactions to that... the whole reason I posted it to see how much weight it carried, thanks!

 

[Maiden]

Toews - Tallon (Easy pick)

Kane - Tallon (Easy pick)



Well whoever's list this is is a moron for the comment above.

Do some homework and look at the rankings prior to these drafts.

Kane wasn't #1 at NHL Central Scouting

 

[Guest]

Toews year many wanted Kessel. Many. Then there was also Backstrom.



Kane's year was a little different because of the WEAK depth at Center we had. Many wanted Turris and for a long time Turris was ranked first. Now add SEVERAL teams made BLOCK BUSTER offers to the Hawks in order to move up and Dale held his ground.



Kane was not a no brainer. Luckily Tallon did not take the Blues offer of THREE first round picks, so they could move to #1. A dumb GM might have bit at that offer.



At least if you are going to make a list like that at least have half a brain while doing so. Also factor in that Tallon might not have drafted guys like Keith and Seabrook he most certainly DEVELOPED them and kept them in the system. How many offers do people think Tallon got for guys like Keith and Seabrook. When the Hawks were not very good and possibly looking for that "star player" to take them over the top.



Chicago Blackhawks = The Team Tallon and Dudley built. There is no other way to put it.

You are correct. AND, Smith DID NOT want Keith and Seabs. Tallon had to fight for them. Smith did not do their final interviews. Tallon did.
