Someone needs to explain to these goofs the difference between most accomplished and best .

Until the Hawks start to win and now he is Danny Blackhawk.

So he is like 80% of Chicago?

Even now, he was just like "well, that hockey sure was hockey." Spiegs asked for clarification, and Dan said "it's just ridiculous." Any sport with randomness is illegitimate and "ridiculous" without Big Black Studs to make the whole thing a fait accompli.

At the time Dan said it the Hawks barely existed in this town.

And rightfully so. They had become a joke of a franchise that you couldn't find on TV half of the time.

Chicago has a strong hockey history though. An original 6 franchise that the city loved right from the beginning. The team was still loved and sold out every game even when old man Wirtz decides to black out home games.

No franchise could of survived the bullshit the Hawks put their fans through in the late 90s and early 2000's Every Hawks fan knew a hockey resurgence was coming when old man Wirtz died.

Chicago is a city that loves hockey.

80% of Chicago don't host a sports talk show and try to pass themselves off as some sort of knowledgeable hockey guy.

The Blackhawks had so many fan favorites before the current crop of kids. I can still hear the crowd roaring every time the short handed Hawks would clear a puck down ice or "Eddie Eddie" when Belfour made a save. Roenick played his tail off night in and night out.

So I was right.

80% of Chicago "came back" when they started to win again.

It's ok. I did the same thing with the White Sox for similar reasons.

Yeah, but then you had the dark period between Chelios/Roenick/Belfour and Toews/Kane/all the rest. The Hawks were a non-entity in the days when their star players were Steve Sullivan and Jocelyn Thibault, as they should have been when their star players were Steve Sullivan and Jocelyn Thibault.

Nylander/Daze/Sullivan were a pretty good line.

Eric Daze had the double misfortune of being on the Hawks when they were at their worst and also being hurt all the time, and thus kinda not on the Hawks, when they were at their worst. Talk about a lost career.

You wouldn't know that from reading this board.



I thought it was Brett Hart.



This never happened ... it was like Bobby Ewing on Dallas ... it was all a dream and nothing happened at all ... it was a direct torch passing from JR to Toews.

I was actually a bigger fan of the Hawks and hockey during that period than I am now.

My dad would watch every Hawks game possible on television and I still remember the discussions with my mom that went "Hockey game tonight?", "No, they are at home".

Is Toews the best all around player? He might be.

Is that right? Mikita is the best?

Huh, I would have guessed Tony O, Bobby Hull or Roenick

Mikita was the best two-way player. Hull was the best scorer. Esposito is a goaltender, and Roenick is already behind Toews in games played for Chicago.

it's the same thing that happened in philly with the philies. when i came back after they won the series, everybody was donning phillies shit, and all my friends out there now talk about the phillies as if they've been fans forever. there was nary a phillies cap in that area between 1996-2006. sports radio never talked about the phillies except in passing jest (sound familiar, hockey horn?).

sports fans rule.

Goalies are always seperated in these things?

A caller just told Terry and Dan he called in a little over a year ago and asked the guys why not trade Joakim Noah because his trade value was at an all time high. The caller said he was called stupid at the time. Terry and Dan said wrong show, we never said that. The only thing I remember the guys saying was that the organization couldn't trade Noah at the time because he meant so much to the city during the 2013-2014 season. There's no way you could explain that to your fans.

They're right.....that would be totally out of character for them.

Dan specifically said he didn't say that but he can't remember saying the famous "Golden Age of GM's" comment? Today at 5.
