It's believed by many, including my Great Grandfather that the fire did indeed start in that close proximity. Though difficult to fully ascertain due to the very dry conditions & cool weather, many fireplaces were in operation at that time. Embers from several fireplaces became airborne, spread by windy conditions, so it was difficult which one(s) produced the deadly trigger and the exact location.

But yes, the area of DeKoven St a few blocks West of what we know today as the S. Loop and approx, the intersection of Jefferson St. and Roosevelt Rd.

EDIT: Amazing how its so fascinating, yet a fire, so much larger, that killed 10x more people, occurred in N. WI at about the exact same time.

Peshtigo, WI - there is a Peshtigo St. in Streatorville, River East, just west of Navy Pier.

The Peshtigo fire was started and fed by lumber on ships owned by Chicagoans and destined to be shipped to Chicago, IIRC.

Dunno. My one bud was wondering if they don't move him soon, he'll get lit up or hurt again. Hoping TheoJed can get max value; Garza too. Don't think they'll be seriously competitive enough when Garza is still under their control. So deal him now, preferable back to the ALE.

Gotta talk to the wife's grandpa about that perhaps. I know it was up there and heard about the lumber story. He still lives in Peshtigo. We're supposed to go see him later this summer before our younger kids go back to school.

He will never have higher trade value. He always dominates in walk years. Hopefully the Cubbies get a nice haul for him

Doesn't Jesse get half of his insider stuff from here?
- EKolb13

Jesse is an extension of the McD marketing campaign in that he has bought everything from 1901 W. Madison hook, line, and sinker. Lately, he has been pumping up the tires of the Saad bandwagon...

I actually find him and Kuc to be rather annoying on twitter. If anyone even suggests the Hawks look for a goalie besides Crawford, they are very quick to shoot it down.

STFU dude, it wasn't the f(u)cking cow, for the last time. The dirtbag that made that crap up confessed almost 120 years ago.

For what it's worth, the cow story is still entertaining.

I know it is. But having family here at the time and knowing it wasn't the cow; it gets a bit tiring, that's all.

Come on guys, enough with the Walker talk. We don't need the mods around here.

You remember him, right? Matt Walker... Skated like he actually didn't have skates on at all? Made Cam Barker look like Sergei Krivokrasov.

Perhaps internet sports rumor messages broads just are not your thing? If you're going to female dog and complain about JJ, it's obvious you need to find better ways to spend you time.

My wife and all the other neighbor's wives spend their free time scrap-booking. They even take weekend trips together to do it. I'm sure they spend time female doging and complaining about us guys while doing it.

It sounds like a perfect fit for you.

- EKolb13


Looking for an intelligent response...guess that's just not your thing... My post was not a complaint, merely a question of improvement and multiple statements of fact. No need to defend JJ, he's a big boy and capable of responding on his own. If he didn't want the attention, he wouldn't post here.

Yes and that is why I believe he is cautious when it comes to adding salary!He has done well in my opinion of restocking the depth.It just remains to be seen if he can make some good hockey trades to fill out the roster without selling the farm.
- eagle50

I think he could make 1 trade (EDM, OTT, MTL) and a couple UFA signings. And if done well, this team's complexion would look one helluva lot better.

Krejci, Krug, 3rd for leddy and Stalberg.

Or a Major trade could be

To Bos: Kane & Leddy
To Chi: Krejci, TT(assuming he would play) Caron, 2nd

A little overpayment on Bos. end but we would get that electric top line winger we need to play with Lucic and Seguin.

- fudd1689

The B's may bite on that 1st one due to a huge cap situation improvement for them. Leddy could be paired with McQuaid, Stalberg could slot on their 2nd or 3rd lines. The 'Hawks get their 2C and Krug can be in the 2nd or 3rd pairing. Think the B's would want to receive a pick rather than giving up one. 'Hawks need is greater than theirs, maybe a 'Hawks 2nd from '14. IIRC their 2nd-3rd round '13 picks went to WPG in the JO deal.

'Hawks still should sign Winnik for 3L and Hannan for 5D.
