We've heard all of the rumors going around for months now that the Blackhawks have been working on trades, specifically with the Leafs. Well today I think we finally got the hint we've been waiting for from the team on what that trade will be. Check out this image found on the Blackhawks site this morning:

Why the hell wasn’t Buff involved in this trade, he’s clearly living off his playoff performance and his 6 goals and inflated 50 hits are a mirage

my biggest problem
is Buff “Bogarting” the hits……….it has really reached an epidemic level

At least, you know, we’re getting a D-man out of it or something, idk. I had someone ask me what I thought of shipping Campbell, Versteeg, and maybe Barker to Carolina in exchange for Eric Staal. He seems to think a 25yo 100pt center is worth losing a playmaker and maybe 2 puck-moving PP-QB-ing D-men.
Sigh. I know CAPOCALYPSE 2010 is probably happening but dear god, can we please try not to lose our heads?

I would personally buy every single one of your users ten beers if you took Vesa Toskala.
I don’t mean on your team or anything like that. You can interpret “took” however you’d like but I’d recommend interpreting it as “kidnapping” or “murder”.

Now I know what happened to Alan Bester and Peter Ing. I’m just shocked that the Leafs “took” the necessary steps to make sure they never played goal again for the Leafs.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

NIce job Matt. Look at your calendar guys, then look at the day and it’s numerical date…it’s Friday the 13th. It’s all a hoax so relax as the Hawks would never trade Kane in any capacity whatsoever and there probably will be no substantial trades made until AFTER the Olympics.
Kaberle isn’t coming here or probably anywhere for that matter has he has one of a mere few that have produced for the Leafs on a consistant basis. Toskala? But I’m sure someone here will think it would be a great move. Sigh.

Kaberle is a truly elite offensive defenseman. Shame about that whole defensive zone thing.
On the other hand he scores twice as much as Soupy for half the price.

…I guess when you’re a Leaf fan, this is about all the material you have to work with.
I remember similar days. Good times, lot of laughs, but when you look at this from the Hawks current perspective, it’s kinda pathetic and lame. A bit sad since they’re Original Six and Toronto is obviously a good hockey town.

OK, I counted to 10,000
My original e-mail extended an olive branch. I acknowledged Toronto fans are good fans and indicated that it saddens me to see Original Six teams so sucky, an experience of which we have long first-hand knowldege.
I would not have wasted this milk of human kindness on, say, Nashville or Phoenix “fans”.
For my troubles, I get an ignorant and hostiile response. So, I escalated.
In closing, I merely observe that it is cute to see how unself-consciously pathetic the banter from Toronto is. Twenty cool pictures and not a puck in sight.

…the write-up itself, or the fish you hooked with this story.
Shout out to HawkVision for his opening:
Maybe Rosendouche
and his douchey Rosenblog
While English teachers pull out their red pens and scream redundancy, I applaud the emphasis of the douchy nature of BOTH Rosendouche himself, and quite separately, his “douchey Rosenblog.” Very nuanced…well done sir.

Thank you cliff
I did come from a journalist household, so I can spot the douchey writing and “reporting” of one Rosendouche. He doesn’t even earn my respect for writing and saying his birth name. I would like to use a different adjective, but nothing is more effective and accurate than douche. So I stick with it.

You people need to live with the fact that Wendy is and always will be a loser and only slight improvement over Chris Phillips as in terms of mediocre 1st overall picks. I mean…he was drafted as a defencemen and ultimately couldn’t play the position and ended up becoming a forward. It’s like drafting Byfuglien with the 1st overall pick really. Good player but not worthy of a 1st overall pick.

The Hawks tend to make backups look like all-stars at times. Case in point, Auld a couple weeks ago, Conklin a couple times last year, Mannino for the Islanders in late March, and let’s not forget Sulander of the Zurich Lions. So nothing is a given with the Hawks, but with that said I do love our chances to finally blow someone out of the UC this year.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
