Right Here.
15 minutes into free agency and theres already doom and gloom about next season.

What did you guys do when the Hawks were awful? Just attempt suicide every day?

There's a difference between being a pessimist and being a realist.

And I my friend prefer to be realistic. Not everything can be seen through rose-colored glasses.

I see the situation for what it is at the moment and I made an honest observation.

the 8,000 in the seats on a sunday watching arnason and the rest of the tools after going through the roenick belfour seasons was tough.

And usually got outnumbered by Winged Wheel sweaters whenever the Hawks/Wings played.

It was a rough stretch.

Avs in on Vokoun? via twitter: adater
A word of caution: Despite fact Avs have called and believed to have made offer for Vokoun, there is competition. He may go elsewhere still

Ugh don't remind me.

Datsyuk won it with just seconds left & the UC went nuts....with Wings fans.

Joe Louis Arena in Chicago.

If the Hawks do sign Sopel, or any other defenseman, the next move is to send John Scott's ass 239084723432 miles away from Chicago so he can never find the UC again.

Talking about the game where Hawks were up 2-0 with a minute left, then lost 3-2 in OT?

I only ask because I was there as well and I honestly felt like crying on the way out. It really felt like the Hawks were NEVER going to be good after that game.

Next summer they drafted Toews, Kane the year after that, and things got much, much better.

or just make him goalie... whenever someone scores they'll have a right hook coming to them. :)

Dear God, please, no.

I don't think it's that difficult, and I have no idea why Bowman can't see it.

If you put a guy in the lineup for a playoff game and he only skates 49 SECONDS because the coach doesn't trust him enough to be on the ice, then he does NOT belong on your team.

Correct. My dad & I felt sick to our stomachs.
