At least I suppose. In what turned into, somehow beyond belief, into one of the dumber debates among Hawks fans in recent memory, the Blackhawks and John McDonough announced they won’t have Frank Pelico play “The Stripper” during the shoot-the-puck what-have-ya during the second intermission. This seems like the smallest of gestures, and the easiest one in the world, but at least it’s in the right direction no matter how miniscule.
Taking a break from eviscerating the players and people who made being a Hawks fan character-building at times, and going to look at the Hawks’ still lingering cap problems for this season.
It’s kind of surprising that Stan Bowman hasn’t, or hasn’t been able to get the Hawks under the salary cap for this season. We were sure there would be a deal at the draft, and there certainly were a lot of talks, as that has usually been Stan’s M.O. Bolland and Frolik were punted there the previous season, after all.
This one comes to us from VanDorpsMullet. Come to think of it, Van Dorp would have been an excellent choice too.
There I was, knee-deep into a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger at the Wendy’s on Court Street in Athens, Ohio when I almost choked on it. The “it” here was not the wimpy cheeseburger, but rather the hateful words that I was reading in the back page of Ohio University’s student newspaper. Evil words. Sad words. Words that wounded me forever: Steve Larmer and Bryan Marchment were traded for Patrick Poulin and Eric Weinrich.

In ways, I’m blessed. I came to Blackhawks fandom at exactly the same time as things started to get really good. Therefore, while I’m familiar with the failings of worthless ex-Hawks like Adrian Aucoin and James Wisniewski, I only know them as opponents and have never had to choke back tears of rage as they fumble around in an Indianhead sweater.

Is this really suprising?? PD
Even though Bob Probert was a complete cro-magnon of a hockey player, he managed to be ahead of his time in many regards, and has become a case study in what not to do from a player management standpoint.
