Vancouver and Luongo benefited from a lot of luck last night...4 shots by the Hawks hit iron and Luongo made 3 or 4 amazing saves out there. Luck was also clearly evident in Vancouver's first goal...nasty bounce and an amazing redirect right in front of Crawford.

Vancouver was very physical in the game.  I can't decide if I want John Scott to suit up.  He'll kick your ass but he also is the worst hickey player I have ever seen.

Right now I think I'm against him playing.  I may change my mind after tonight.

I didn't expect the Hawks to make it out of the first round, but I thought they would at least make it competitve.  It sucks the Bolland has been out as he caused them fits last year.  Also Luongo has been incredible now that Byfuglien is gone.

Aside from Hossa and Campbell this is still a very young team so hopefully they can think about this first round exit, get there crap together, and actually come ready to play next year.  There seemed to be a Stanley Cup hangover all year.  (Insert Kaner joke here.)

Seriously?  Idk, maybe they are playing the best team in hockey.  If there was enthusiasm, you would probably be spouting off about how Blackhawk fans are not knowledgeable and ill-informed bandwagoners cause clearly there is nothing to be excited about.

The Bulls bandwagon.

I think of all the Chicago teams, the Bulls have the least bandwagon following of them all.

The Bears will waiver a bit in down years. The Cubs will draw well no matter what, it just becomes a difference between large crowds everyday or sellout crowds everyday. The Sox fans are passionate and will stay away if they don't feel the team is there, and the Blackhawks have had a steady bandwagon, which will eventually not be a bandwagon at all.

Let's not get into how big the Bucks were in Milwaukee until 2001. Or how the Brewers have drawn much better with a better team/owner.

He is the clown of the team.  Every fan knows that.  He acts like a goof on purpose.  Look at the mullet he debuts for the playoffs.  For all of the haters out there you should tell every other 21 year old that you know to cease having fun.  But then again they are not making $5 million a year either.

Not sure it went anywhere.  Not a lot to be excited about with your team down 3-0 in the series.  You seem pretty preoccupied with the Blackhawks "bandwagon."

Earlier this season the Cubs had their smallest crowd in 9 years. Ricketts, Kenney and Hayward are driving away fans and proving they don't have any idea how to run a Major League baseball team. Come back, John McDonaugh!

McDonough is a stud and the Cubs miss him....but do you know how many MLB teams wish their lowest home attendance in 9 years is 26,000+?!

True...although there were maybe 15k actually there.

I've hated on Chicagoey bandwagonness a lot on here in regards to the Hawks, but I'll be the first to say that the Bulls always have a strong following. Since Jordan there are so many kids that grew up on Bulls basketball, that even in a league that struggles to draw from a lot of demographics, the Bulls are a great franchise.  Culturally there's a reason they're in the conversation for every big free agent.

Sure it did.  It left the state.

I wouldn't say I'm preoccupied, I'd say I'm just not surprised.
