Is it too late to jump on the bandwagon?

You hate an entire teams fan base because in your opinion they all just showed up here after the teams recent success? So is it true that you have only been a hockey fan since 1997 when your team became relevant?
While true the Hawks have a lot of newer fans thanks to their recent success. There are still a large group that have been fans for longer then your team has even been in existence.

I was born in the Midwest and have been to many Hawks games (Tony Amonte, Eric Daze days) I am now a Preds season ticket holder. While I am jealous of your teams success the problem most Preds fans have with the Chicago fans is the way they act in our building.

Yeah, HB is the barometer for measuring fandom.

You know when Hawk fans really started showing up on HB? When the most popular Hawks forum in Chicago was no longer free, and required a subscription...which just happened to coincide with the team's re-emergence. So we all migrated here, and you've been hating us ever since.

what's up OGI,
He still might be mad at us for choking in 2010 or maybe that we have won 2 CUPS and that Nashville has done absolutely nothing!!! Either or FRANK Him.

Still hate the Blackhawk fans. They never showed up here until they turned the franchise around unlike the other Original 6 teams.

Fan since 1970 here...does this make me a bandwagon fan?

- wrister[/quoteThe thing is that if your a season ticket holder you probably live pretty close to Nashville. And if your problem is with Chicago fans in Nashville's building. Pretty good chance they are from that area as well. Which makes them your problem not the Hawks.
I get it ! you have an issue with a group of fans wearing Hawks apparel. Such a small % of actual Hawk fans acting rude does not mean the whole fan base is the same mold.

This is the very definition of a bandwagon fan.

In a hockey related comment, the hawks are in great position and Patrick Kane is going to do awful things this year. Greatest show on ice.

Otherwise taking in a game here is very cost prohibitive. Combining a game with a trip to a tremendous town like Nashville is more justifiable for me at least. Not sure who would go to STL on purpose but to each their own I guess.

The true test will be how many Blackhawk fans travel during your next down cycle. It will happen and it will be enjoyable to a lot of people here.

We're going to ever have a down cycle again?

I believe you have bad info

Anymore room for me?

They are not local fans. And no I don't have a problem with opposing teams fans wearing their "apparel" and cheering for their team. And it is the majority not the minority and it is men and women. When you walk around our concourse screaming, chanting, taunting it is a lack of respect in our town and in our building. I know you may think this is cool and funny but really it is just classless and showing your ...."true colors"

And how many Blackhawk fans did that? All of them? Most? 20%? 1 group?

I really doubt that you can judge an entire fan base based on what I expect are the boorish behaviors of a few.

This guy reminds me of Marty Brenneman; impunes an entire fan base because of a few schmucks.
