The Blog... and Schlidaveur Incorporated International LLC... would like to congratulate the Chicago Blackhawks on winning the Stanley Cup Championship last night.
The Hawks had a great run, and a nice group of players. Fitting that Patrick Kane put in the game/series/championship winner in overtime. Also fitting that Johnathan Teowes won the Conn Smythe trophy. Good stuff.
I guess the blogger wants to congratulate the loyal and long suffering hockey fans of Chicago. Fans in the Boston area should feel really good for their blue-line brethren in the windy city. They too have suffered for years under the yoke of an ownership that is completely disinterested in the product on the ice and completely focused on the total of the bank account.
Thanks to the advent of the salary cap, and rampant mediocrity, places like Chicago and Boston have at least some pathetic hope of seeing glory for their teams. Put together a solid club and you never know, you could go far, and depending on the matchups (with other mediocre teams) you could find yourself with Lord Stanley's bowl.
Now... I'll give you that this Hawks team is a much better assembly of talent than the fraudulent softness of the local product and thereby they really had an actual chance. Boston was lucky to go as far as it did, thanks to the weak rosters they faced.
So raise a glass. The poor saps in Chicago got theirs, and you never know, maybe one of these years the local pathetic excuse for a professional hockey club could stumble right into a chance to win one too.
And if its any comfort, they still have the same greedy puke of an owner, who is sure to suck the life out of whatever goodness comes from this... just like the asshole that owns the team here.

and just to note; their greedy puke of an owner is much worse than the one in Boston. At least we have had the team on TV all these years. When attendance waned, there was no TV for the ChiHawks.
Reggie Dunlop: You mean you could sell us, but you won't?
Anita McCambridge: I could probably sell you, but I can't.
Reggie Dunlop: Well - you know, uh - we're human beings, you know.
Anita McCambridge: I have to confess I've never let the children watch a hockey game. I have a theory that children imitate what they see on a TV screen. If they see violence, they'll become violent. If they see someone stick up a bank, they'll stick up a bank. Heroin. You name it.
Reggie Dunlop: You're fucked!
Anita McCambridge: What?
Reggie Dunlop: You are totally fucked! You're garbage for letting us all go down the drain.
