"for the love of God, please defeat the Ducks. I'd love nothing more than to see Perry cry a river after yet another failed attempt at a Stanley Cup. and one more thing, I'm hoping that there are ample hawk fans located in southern CA to help invade Honda Center. I'm sure there aren't as many as say Red Wing fans that live here, but hopefully there are decent enough numbers to make a difference for the games in Anaheim. Anyways, Go Hawks. Sincerely, a Kings fan " - Woody

Dude, you haven't been paying attention long enough. The Chicago bandwagon is even bigger than the King bandwagon. Just last night I was sitting in my pickup locker room after playing when a guy I've known for 15 years mentioned he was a diehard Hawk fan. Dude grew up in VT and has been a Bruins fan as long as I have known him. Everywhere you look, there are lifetime Hawks fans over the past 6 years. I don't think you have to worry about there being some at the games in Anaheim.

When I read posts such as yours I actually think whomever is penning such a response is a hockey bandwagon fan. Why? Anyone who has followed the sport for a long period of time knows that Chicago Blackhawk fans are about as non-bandwagon as they come. Have they gained fans? Absolutely. That's what winning brings in ANY sport to ANY city.

It's a simple minded response. But, hey... carry on.

Not much Offensive zone time for rangers, heck they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off in their own zone

Nash denied on the short handed breakaway. A shorty would have made things more interesting

Another duck fan that is constantly clueless.

All duck fans have an inferiority complex.

They just won't let it go with trying to call out fans and saying everyone is bandwagon.

Annoying as hell.

Not gonna lie.....it might not be the Hawks fault as some say, but damn how i wish we had K Hayes. Though as we stand i still think we're the leagues best team, with him we'd be even better(obviously). That kid is most definitely the real deal, i think its time some Hawks fans stop being salty and admit that one got away....but again, not as if the Hawks themselves messed it up. poop happens. It wasn't meant to be i guess....

Meh. Just ignore it. Its sort of the same thing as the people who think the Hawks purposely tanked for draft picks. Anyone that know a thing about hockey knows that tanking would require a plan. Something the previous front office never had. Well other than squeezing every last cent out of STH.

Yeah, but the STH were happy because no one was watching the games for free on TV.

Hawks didn't give up on Hayes...

...Hayes "gave up" on the team that drafted him.

We know it just one of those proverbial "what could/should have been.". Any insight on another college kid supposedly the Hawks are in on, I believe along with the Jackets?

Chris Block reports only 1,780 in attendance tonight in Rockford.

I know mid week games are lower, but that number is surprising.

3-1 Rockford with about 10 min. left in 3rd.

So this ensures all of the Rags/Caps games will be 1 goal games.

It ensures the Rangers will have played all 1 goal games in every game of their first two rounds.

It ensures a golden goal game 7
