Listen, you can take your bad Blackhawks from 2011 and 2012 and enjoy it. We expect titles, and don't even acknowledge the team without a title. The Blackhawks have FINALLY earned our respect. We are all in. Let's enjoy the ride. Who is with me?

Krazy Ivan, get on this train and ride it.

No balcks allowed.

They even kicked off Byfuglein after the last cup win.

SHOTGUN!

Add another to the high expectations club!

Do you pledge to disavow all knowledge of the Blackhawks if they lose in the playoffs?

Its not a loss if they lose the games in overtime.

Hey noobs, its a point streak, not a win streak, although there is a concurrent win streak.

Are you kidding?

I might jump off if the lose a regular season game

In reality, we are better than the hardcore fans, because we refuse to accept mediocrity.

The garbage that Bowman has thrown out there the last two years hasn't been worth it. Dale Tallon knew how to build a title winner. How many titles does miniBowman have?

I understand that.

I just don't understand why a team should get credit for losing a game.

While I'll definately care a lot less, I think we should wait until the Hawks prove they aren't the best before we jump off. Then again, you and me can celebrate just as hard when we hold up whatever stupidly named trophy the Stanley Cup champ gets to hold up.

Most hockey fans don't like the otl catagory. I don't. Used to be 1 point for a tie, two for a win and nothing for a loss. Back when 100 point seasons were rare and awesome. I'd prefer that.

Imagine how cool this would be if the Hawks played one of the 3 major American sports? If the Cubs didn't lose the first 81 games in a season we'd be building them a wing in Cooperstown with all the other Cubs that made it there with no postseason accomplishments!

Yup.

OTL is the worst. As I was telling all the people in 2010(the year I actually paid attention), otl is a terrible invention by whoever is the commissioner of hockey.

These fucking Blackhawks ... Bernstein takes all this time to craft a beautiful strawman to spend all kinds of time slashing away at, and now all his work is for naught, all because these fuckers think they can just lose a game without consequences.

The game was fairly entertaining today, could've used a few more goals.

Nice insight, Shreve Jr.

Bandwagon fan topic of the day:
What is the best part about a Blackhawks game?
1) Chelsea Dagger
2) Fighting
3) Yelling "SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT" whenever the puck crosses whatever that blue line is called.
4) The retired/future strippers that clean the dirty ice.
