the rumors I'm seeing about either Luongo or Brodeur coming to Chicago are generating the most hilariously hateful comments from Hawkfans I know

Brodeur in Chicago is some 80's Edmonton Grant Fuhr "do your best, we're going thataway" hilarity.

oh, it's not that much, it's just that he's played 79 games in the last two seasons and scored nine goals. probably could have been had for half that on a two-way deal

it's not miami heat level, but they *were* the two best free agents available this year, and parise's from minnesota, and it's no doubt the best thing to happen to the team since it started up.

^basically. also, like, this it totally not a Heat thing why because the NHL is not a superstar league no matter what bettman et al will have you believe

like, there is no other sport where there is the cult of the average player. When Ian LaPerriere was in LA he was BELOVED but he was only good for, like 5/15/150PMs a year.

― Grimy Little Pimp (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 6 July 2012 06:37 (10 months ago) Permalink

also everyone in the league is one bad hit away from getting finished at this point which is why these contracts make no sense.

― Grimy Little Pimp (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 6 July 2012 06:42 (10 months ago) Permalink

Also, the playoffs are a crapshoot, and it doesnt matter who has the top superstar: it's all about the hot goalie. Also when 15-17 guys are rotating in and out a minute at a time, it kind of minimizes the effect of the "superstar".

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicagoblackhawks/post/_/id/4671285/luongo-not-ruling-out-blackhawks

"Luongo was asked if he could handle hearing “Chelsea Dagger” -- the song the Hawks play when they score a goal -- as a member of the home team.

"I like that song,” Luongo said. “It's catchy. I heard it seven times in one game."

Luongo was referring to Game 4 of the 2010 Western Conference semifinals which the Hawks won 7-4, just one of several games in recent years in which the Hawks put up a flurry of goals against him. "

Luongo's humor does not inspire confidence.

yo Bill I'm late here but this

it is if it's the worst uniform in pro sports.

is bullshit & you know it & you need to check your Wings-hate long enough to not make ridiculous claims like this. It's not even the worse uniform in hockey. You legit think the Coyotes uni isn't worse than the Wings one? Then you need to remove yr head from yr ass in order to see clearly. The Blue Jackets too man. The Ducks. In other sports there are at least twenty teams w/worse unis than the Red Wings. As a Raiders fan I hate every other team in the AFC West at least as much as you hate the Wings but you won't hear me claiming that the...ok bad example all those other teams in the AFC West look like fuckin clowns, lol at those assholes, Raider Nation baby, JUST WIN, fuck yes
