And one last thing you aren't going to find any rose colored koolaid glasses here, at Millers (Blackhawk Zone) or Stuys (The 300 Level). What you are going to find is probably the most knowledgeable bunch of fans there are where the Blackhawks team and Organization are concerned. Disgruntled, sure some, but I seriously would never question "most" of the members knowledge on Hockey or this team thats for sure. Even those I often don't agree with.
Many of which all at one time posted over at the Officials, long before it was censored by the same organization. And not only NHTA because if you say "Mcdonough Sucks" you'll get banned and or warned over there. Or your post will mysteriously disappear. Yea that's something I and most of us want to be part of.
All the old threads are gone now that they re-vamped those boards over there. Not a single "McDouchebag" comment to be found. All wiped clean as a baby's behind. People might have actually believe McDummy had something to do with winning the Cup if it weren't for Pierre LeBrun and the rest of the press outside Chicago calling Tallon the architect of the team. The again, I'm sure there are people who don't believe he has media blackouts on things either.
Here, Stuy's or Miller's, we can share the truth without worrying about getting banned, censored or deleted. We support Klemmer's fight against Pancreatic Cancer with his Have a Skate with Bob (cause we're dysfunctional like that) We meet up at the convention, go on road trip games, Boo McDonough at the convention (something that will go down in IHN history as one of the greatest things ever), call each other Beat-offs, assholes, dickheads because we are dysfunctional like that. We have come together because of our love of hockey. We don't always need a link from people, because some people are a better source than the Chicago press, and we know it. If we don't believe in Stan as a GM because we don't like how he may have schemed for the job, it doesn't make this board less credible than the O boards. It means we have an opinion. Some of us are flaming liberals, some moderates, and some hard core conservatives. We disagree on politics, trades, draft picks, whatever, but we pretty much all agree that McDonough sucks.....because he does. (see what I did there?)
You may disagree with us Creature, but there is no denying that anyone here doesn't know WTF they're talking about. Even Grimson and his love for the Rangers.
