I don't doubt it, but Tom Cruise will always be that crazy guy who jumped on Oprah's couch to me.

I wanna waych a custom youtube video of highlights of the 1980 miracle on ice with Maverick blowing up Migs inbetween USA Goals . Aircraft carrier celebrations intertwined with the crowd at Lake Placid going crazy.

I might have sniffled a little

I am sure they are crushed by your opinion of them.

Ew no, Tom Cruise

The best thing about Top Gun is it's a running gag on Archer.

Man 'o man...Archer is the best.

1979-80 NYI 80 39 28 281 247 56.88%

how about recent vintage:

2009 Pens 45 wins and 99 pts
2011 Bruins 46 wins and 103 pts
2012 Kings 40 wins and 95 pts
2014 Kings 46 wins and 100 pts
and how about those devils during the lockout shortened 1995: 22 wins and 52 pts. the league avg was 21 wins

so lets not give up on our meh hawks of late...in this here NHL wins and points have no predictive value as to will win the playoff marathon..

I think Derek Jeter said it best awhile back. The best teams make the playoffs. The hottest team wins the championship.

Looking a the first King championship, well we all know how important a certain deadline trade for a certain player was. The sequel had a similar story, even. The devil is in the details often enough.

Regular season records don't guarantee anything, but I'm sure that regular season records do have a strong correlation with winning championships, obvious exceptions aside.

oh for sure....NBA is a great example: rarely does a low seed even get past round 1 let alone the finals.

NHL is a very different animal...you got maybe 10-14 points separating the top 8 teams in each conf...survival depends on health, goal tending and contribute up and down the lines

Tree Guys? Used to love that place.

John, just to throw this out there. As someone new and not part of the obvious inner circle of 8-10 guys who have great viewpoints and like to share them, this place is extremely unfriendly. I enjoy reading the comments because many people have great insights here and I like a healthy debate as much as the next person, but seriously, back off sometimes. There was no need to make fun of the trade as much as people did today. And when you make a PSA, stick to the meaning of it and shut the subject down. I'm sure I'll bombarded with the regulars justifying themselves, but try and make this place a little more friendler to people who are newbies/ladies. If I see another comment talking about how all female Blackhawk fans have a boner for sharp, I'm going to lose it. Plus, burning our pink jerseys? Because we all those right? Yeah, that's not at all sexist. Do you have a blue jersey?
