Sopels number should be retired based on entertainment value league wide.</p></blockquote>

In a special high up section of the UC:

Unfortunately for you guys, all of your arguments are moot because the only criteria for who should have their number in the rafters is how much publicity and fan fair it can create for McDick.... so expect by the end of his reight to only have a couple left to lift into the rafters and the Hawks to start using numbers in the 100s and half numbers.</p>

 

[Maiden]

If the PC whacks that have taken over this country have their way it won't matter what numbers are in the rafters.</p>


There will be a new logo and a new name and the franchise can start all over again with every number available.</p>

It's been discussed before, but "Blackhawks" is not a derogatory term, if anything it's honoring Chief Black Hawk and the military unit who used the name. The only people who are whining about it is Ryan Lambert of Puck Daddy, and his opinion is absolutely worthless as he's an idiot.

Should be Chicago Afro-American Hawks</p>

Anyway, the logo would be the issue, not the name.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh a non offensive depiction of a native American waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!


People are too fucking sensitive These days.


Not directed at you Jim. just idiots that have to find something to be offended about.

 

[the canadian dream]

I know zero first nations people who are offended by the Blackhawks logo and I know a lot of first nations. Not a single one has ever said they found the logo offensive or derogatory. Most, if not all, actually love it. </p>

Nobody hated the University of Illinois war dance by the mascot.</p>


But PC libs felt it was disrespectful and wah lah it completely vanished.</p>


 </p>


Ask an Marquette University alum about the changing of the nickname from Warriors to whatever they are.</p>


 </p>


In due time they will come calling. It's sickening.</p>

Good thing I am already a victim of this board, so no one can have any beef with me anymore!

Hossa's an easy lock for the HHoF.  Whether his number is retired for the 'hawks can go either way.  The longer he plays as a 'hawk the better his chances.</p>


 </p>


Keith's likely for both # retirement and HHoF.  Toews and Kane are damned close *Right Now* if their careers ended.  Given how young they are if their projection remains true and they play until later 30's or early 40's I think it's a no brainer for both,</p>

It was a white guy dressed as an Indian doing a made up Indian dance.</p>


 </p>


To say nobody hated it is completely false.</p>

Hossa's number is pretty easy to retire, simply because 81 isn't a standard sweater number.</p>


 </p>


But now that the Hawks have a couple Cups under their belts, everyone who came before and didn't win a Cup can kiss seeing their sweater number in the rafters goodbye. Sorry Gramps & JR.</p>

And... just because.</p>
