My Least Favorite Hawk – Patrick Poulin

By 1980 0

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.

My Least Favorite Hawk – Dan Carcillo

This one comes from hero of the people and at least our 15th favorite Irishman MightyMikeD. 

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.

Friday Foofaraw: Your Least Favorite Hawk Of All Time

By 1248 0

Kids, we all know that August for hockey is the down time. The signings and trades are mostly made, training camp is still way far off in the distance, most of the STDs acquired from the Convention have been medicated and there just isn’t much going on. But we have to do something, and we’d like all of you who want to to be a part of it.

All August long, we’ll be running yours and our recollections of Hawks that we couldn’t stand. Players who made you dread their shifts, and somehow despite that made your fandom all that much more locked down in your life. Guys who couldn’t skate, couldn’t pass, or got walked by the most mediocre forwards around. Yes, Wayne Van Dorp would qualify as all three. So would Karl Dykhuis.

If you want to participate, just email me your entry at committedindian@gmail.com, with “Least Favorite Hawk” in the subject line. And while you’re free to write about some of recent vintage, we’ve covered the Bollig-Versteeg-Scott territory heavily in the blog. We want to hear about your flashbacks about Brian Noonan or Keith Brown.
