Disappointed

PrintI'm not normally one to complain about the before/after situation happening up in the 300 level right now. The Hawks are the new "it" thing in Chicago right now, and hangers on are inevitable. The problem that I really have is that people who are showing up have no idea how to behave at a hockey game. Two instances tonight really got me pissed off.
A bit of background for situation #1: my season tickets are 12 rows up in the 300 level. That's about 2/3 the way up the stairs, a pretty good hike for someone in better shape than myself. It's also a bit hard to get up from the concourse to your seats from the time play stops, until it starts. Just after the game started tonight, a pair of younger kids (a brother and sister) came trudging up the steps during a stoppage in play. Their seats were 2 rows behind mine, and before they could get up to the 14th row, the play began again. The mongoloid who sits in the first 2 seats in row 14 refuses to stand up and let the kids to their seats. He just says "wait for the fucking whistle" and stares straight ahead. The kids, who have no idea what to do, just stand in the aisle looking embarassed and confused.
Situation #2: My buddy and I are walking out of the UC, having just witnessed the most enjoyable shootout of the season, when I see a middle-aged father in a Boston (Sergi Samsonov) sweater walking hand in hand with his 3-4 year old son. About 10 feet away are a group of drunk-assed college aged kids, who are yelling and harassing the father, howling that his son is going to grow up retarted because his dad was a Bruins fan. The kid has a terrified look on his face, and the dad is trying to hustle his son out of the parking lot. The drunk idiots continue to shout shit that gets less and less intelligible, and the kid looks more and more frightened. To get away from the hecklers, the dad walks into a busy intersection across Damen to get to the parking lot.
I realize that we hockey fans have a reputation to uphold as being some of the most die-hard in professional sports. I also love to harangue fans of opposing teams that show up in our house. That being said, I give shit to people who deserve it. The guy who shows up in your house, and when his team scores, he turns around and gives the little "eat shit" pose? Fuck you, you're fair game. The dad taking his son to his first ever hockey game? Not so much. The last thing we as Hawks fans should want is to be compared to Philadelphia fans. I'd like to hope that if Santa Claus showed up at the UC in a Bruins jersey he'd be able to make it out of the building without (additional) brain damage.
Personally, I think in the end the most important thing to remember is that we are ALL hockey fans. I swear like a sailor every time Barker gets caught out of position, or Sopel being 2 steps to slow results in a Boston goal. It's going to happen, and I'm not advocating hockey arenas turning into PC palaces. That being said, scaring the shit out of a little kid in a parking lot until he gets to the point where he never wants to go again does nothing but ensure that Hockey is continued to be viewed by the general public as a sport for violent neanderthals who want nothing but to beat the shit out of each other and get Bleacher-Bum level drunk. What I'm asking you, the die-hard Hawks fans who post and read this fuck-awesome fan site, is that when you see shit like this going down is pass some learnin' onto these mouth breathers. Tell the frat boy hangers on to stop acting like fuckwads and giving us a bad name. Tell Mongo to let the kids to their seats. Tell the "shoot it" guy that every time the puck heads to the point it may not actually be the prime scoring chance he thinks it is. Hopefully with a bit of assistance, we can curtail this kind of hooliganism.
Anyways, I'll step down from my shitty little soapbox now. Thanks for reading.

Well Said!
I’ve been fighting that battle for years. Hopefully the “mouth breathers” either can read your post or others will deliver the message.
I haven't been to the UC to see a game
But I agree with you 100%.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

It almost sounds like these frat boys should be Leafs fans with that kind of behaviour. Unfortunately during the early 2000’s when the Senators and Leafs rivalry was at a fervour pitch instances like this were common place at the Scotiabank Place (watch your equipment) which brought many changes to security. This kind of behaviour has no place anywhere let alone a hockey game.
Great fanpost ATAJ.
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!!!
Gracias.

Let it be written...
…let it be done! I especially like the call to take responsibility here. Amen and rec’d.
I was in the 300 level recently, and I have to say I wasn’t very impressed with a few folks behavior… people need to mind their manners and be considerate of others.
You can have fun without ruining the night for everyone around you.
I just read this article about an incident in Edmonton recently:
http://www.edmontonsun.com/news/edmonton/2009/11/14/11745621-sun.html
I sure hope it never gets that bad here…
it seems like
behavior is generally worse on the weekends, when you get a lot of the frat-boy types filling up the house. (I went to the game last night, but usually my tickets are Monday-Wednesday games.) But I agree, the 300-level seems to be festering with assholes and gene-pool rejects. It’s just a symptom of the times — we’re going to see the trash as well as the model citizens. Your post just makes me grateful to sit in a section filled with mostly decent people — we usually have no problem sorting out the cretins.
Great post.
Thank you, indeed. When we’re at home we can do, say, etc. whatever/whenever the fuck we want while we’re in front of our television. But these monsters forget they’re not at their buddy’s place, and/or not at home with their grab-ass friends. I wish something like this could be published in the Trib/Sun-Times – an open letter to new/returning Hawk fans – to remind them of this…common fucking sense while in public.
Again, great post.

Grand call.
It is getting ridiculous in the 300s. The lack of decency (regarding idiot “bros” harassing a Dad with his kid), people not allowing two children to sit, and idiots acting as if they understand actual hockey.
Luckily for that dumb ass it was me at the any young age, I would’ve stepped right over his douche bag self.
My section really isn’t too bad either and I get animated as well when Cam turns over a puck, forgets how to pass, or is so far out of position you wonder if he knows how to play defence anymore. I’m just so sick of the guys yelling that Kane needs to shoot once he passes the blue line with a 6 foot 9 Zdeno Chara right in his grill and the guy that is a season late in yelling that Phantom sucks (which we all know by now he has played damn well this year).
The new fans and perhaps some old need a lesson in etiquette.

addendum: this is the absolute most ridiculous thing I've heard in the stands all season
from Drunk Dude Behind Me™—
“I know that whole changing lines thing can be helpful to our team, but mannnn, I hate it sometimes. It just takes away momentum from our game, you know?”
(and yes, he was talking about players dumping the puck deep and going off for a change, not Coach Q’s dartboard.)
ONE DAY, JONATHAN TOEWS WILL BE CAUGHT OUT ON THE ICE FOR THREE MINUTES, AND HIS LEGS WILL FALL OFF. WHEN THIS DAY COMES, DRUNKY MCDRUNKERSON, I WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET RAPED BY A BILLY GOAT WITH GNARLY HORNS.
It seems like line changes are a concept most people cannot grasp. I had a friend who always bitched about our lines changing last season.
Yes, it would have been amazing if there had been four guys backing up Sharp as he skated the puck past the blue line, but they’d been on the ice for 70 seconds and they were about to pass out. You should be glad our skater had the energy to hold the puck.
The worst is after a face-off win following an icing call.
The other one that bothers me is people complaining about Campbell waiting behind the net with a puck while he waits for the forwards to change lines. Who exactly are you looking for him to hurry up and pass to?
TO THE OTHER GOALIE OF COURSE....
remember? SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT IT!
that’s all that hockey is.

Rec'd
Well said AJ, I have seats 15 rows up in the 300 section and I am noticing the same annoying crap going on. The worst part about this, is the same guy that goes out of his way to yell at the people who are trying to get up to their seats between whistles, is the one yelling “SHOOT!, SHOOT!!” the whole game. So it’s not just the newbies that need to learn the etiquette, but the regulars that should check it too…
I agree with everything stated
however, I must say, this definitely sounds like grizzled old Hawk fans behavior. And what the drunken douchenozzles were screaming at the father and son is no different from what would’ve been said to them 25 years ago.
Not that it makes it right or anything. I’m just saying this behavior has been going on for a realllllllllly long time.

Meaning they’re a bunch of douche bags who should stop pestering dads and their little kids.
Hockey fans need to stop holding on to this idea of a glorious old-timey hockey where everyone bashed everyone’s head in. Those weren’t good years, and true old-time hockey wasn’t like that. Stu Hackel, for what it’s worth, had a post today about the same sort of adherence to an idolized image of a super-violent style of play that never really existed.
I approve of this post...
…on grounds of astuteness.
As the hated French say in their pithy way: “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”
Or as the author of Ecclesiastes observed about 3,000 years ago: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
Most newbies are merely ignorant and amenable to polite instruction.
As for veteran blockheads, the old military saw, “ten percent never get the word” seems apt.

There are more than a few bad apples at every game
But I saw something pretty cool happen last night. 300 level, 13 rows up, a dad and his 7 year old son are settling in for the game. The first of many DEEETROIT SUCKS! chants starts, and the kid looks a little bit scared. Once the chant is over, the guy sitting directly in front of the kid turns and says “Don’t worry buddy, that word is okay to say as long as you’re talking about Detroit…otherwise, you should say ‘stink’.” That’s just one example to illustrate that among the idiots, there are decent people.
Indeed.

He’s 3 rows in front of me. The guys i go with have said something to him a few times, “King Crab” (another one of his genius jersey’s) just doesn’t get it.
"Its gotta start somewhere, Its gotta start sometime. What better place then here, what better time then now"
Oh the sasquatch
I’m one section over and a couple rows up from the Sasquatch……….dude is reeeediculous. Way too intense, and at somepoint during the third period, it’s like someone pushes his ‘angry button’ and he inevitably ends up yelling at one of the hawks players relentlessly.
But he isn’t as bad the lady I had to deal with at the Boston game (though I don’t think she’s a regular).
She sat in the 16th row in 328, she was about 40-50ish and everytime (and I mean every-fucking-time) an opposing player got up to or past the circle with the puck (in the hawks’ zone), she would yell “no, no, no, no, no, no!” or “get it outta there!”. It was shrill, it was loud, it was beyond annoying, and it was in my ear. Control yourself lady, we have the lowest Goals Against Average in the NHL, take your menopausal game 7 ridiculousness elsewhere, it’s an 82 game season!

Yup
The “Squatch” and I believe his mother sit 2 rows behind me. The vitriol directed at Campbell is unfocused as it is unending. The hysterical thing is that after Soupy scored the other night against The Scum he yelled “My Boy!”. Less than 2 minutes later, he was howling “trade his fucking ass for a bag of pucks!” Huet has it just as bad. First two weeks of the season you’d have thought Huet had raped his grandmother and poured sugar in his gas tank. He actually bought a Niemi sweater.
I knew I was in trouble when they showed up last year to a preseason game and began bitching about the lack of effort. In a PRESEASON game.

"Its gotta start somewhere, Its gotta start sometime. What better place then here, what better time then now"
I have 2 nine game plans
Hull A and Hull B. Both in 328 row 15. ‘A’ seats are on the aisle (which I absolutely hate because I never get up and people are always moving), and ‘B’ seats are in the middle of the row. I try and hit up some random games outside of the 2 plans, like Nashville on the 27th. My next game in the aisle seats is Anaheim (1/3), let me know if you’ll be around, beer time ……most certainly.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
oh, and as for the sweaters
I think he has the regular niemi one, the sasquatch one, and also a finnish Niemi one. His mom and/or girlfriend, I really can’t tell which, maybe it is mom/girlfriend, rocks a niemi sweater, might be the same one though. Dude loves him some Niemi, and I can pretty much guarantee that if Huet would’ve been in against Boston and let in the same fourth goal that niemi did……..the Sasquatch would’ve been booing hard.
Not there’s anything wrong with liking Niemi……….just sayin.
Glad to hear that there are a few other people that I can complain about the sasquatch with. I usually just make jokes about him to my dad……hoping that he doesn’t hear me, because, well, he’s huge and angry, and I probably couldn’t take him.
Also, I like your new comment signature thing. You have inspired me to change mine………

The Squatch
Went from acid-trip levels of happy to absolute silence during the miracle comeback against Calgary. When they brought Niemi in for Huet in the 1st, who promptly gave up one of the softest goals seen in the UC since Brian Boucher let one in from center ice against the ’Nucks a few years ago.
After the softie I asked him if that was better than Huet he replied “coulda happened to anybody”. I just laughed.

This discussion on the squatch reminds me....
That I (half-jokingly) had an idea that I was telling my dad about during an intermission at one of the games.
We should do a “messin with Sasquatch” video at one of the hawks games.
Ideas:
Attach a $20 dollar bill to a fishing line and place it on the step of his row and watch him chase it up the stairs……….
Drape a couple of Huet Jersey T-shirts over his seats……..film reaction
Slip some NyQuil in his beer…………..etc

Taunting the Squatch
Myself, my friend, and our other neighbor are all buying Huet jerseys and are going to purposely wear them to taunt Sasquatch starting in probably March. Plus we thought of leaving Huet pictures on his seats addressed to him.
If anyone thinks of pranking him, I would definitely help out with it in some way.

Sasquatch and Mother-of Sasquatch
I believe I sit in one of the two seats next to you in row 12 of 329, and most of us feel the pain that you do.
I do think that Mother-of-Sasquatch is at times worse than the son is with her catch phrases of COME ONNNNNN and HIT HIM. I keep praying for the day that they don’t show up. If her voice starts to go by the third period I get a huge smile on my face.
If you notice, when Huet is in goal and the team is winning, they leave with 5 minutes left in the game because they can’t stand to see anyone but “their boy” Niemi win a game. They were the same last year with the Khabby/Huet situation.
We have complained to our ticket rep on many occasions and were told that they are on a short leash this year. Well it is almost January, we have complained several times this season alone, and they have continued to make my hockey-going experience less enjoyable. I continue to go because I have loved the hawks for over 20 years, enjoy watching the game and supporting my favorite team. We were offered to move this season to another section closer to the top of the UC. Not really what we wanted. I just wish someone would do something about them. I am at the point of turning around and yelling at them to go home if they are not happy watching the sport and can’t stand by their chosen team. However, fear for my own life stops me because they both look like they could take someone out in a drunken fight (and since they are normally drunk by the end of warm-ups, I think it is a highly likely situation).
It is obvious from reading this that even those people in sections other than ours are upset with the twosome. Maybe we all need to gang up and declare mutiny over them.

I agree
We’ve complained a few times too. The guy is just a sad excuse of a man and you see where it comes from because you’re right, his mother is just as bad if not worse. I think since there are so many people who do not like them that they will have to eventually do something about it. Here’s to hoping that time comes soon.
"Its gotta start somewhere, Its gotta start sometime. What better place then here, what better time then now"
From the way people are talking here, it sounds like anyone who would say something to them would have plenty of back up. Has the UC put in the system where you can report someone via text to security? I know the Bears and Sox both do. I’m sure they’d have to do something if you could get about 3 rows of people to all simultaneously report them.

If anyone finds out a text number for security, I would make sure to text it each game.
Their behavior especially around kids is appalling. But a word of the wise for anyone that wasn’t there last year to see it happen, mother-of-sasquatch and sasquatch will yell at everyone but if someone yells back and cusses at them, they will run for the yellow jackets in a second. She got a guy kicked out last year for calling her a bitch and telling her to shut up. The security guys didn’t ask what she was saying to deserve it though.

I was at the Rangers game a few weeks back
and there were a few empty seats due to the weather we had that night. I typically sit in 322, but had seats in 317 that night (surprisingly poor seats – those guardrails over the exits really get in the way).
Since I have a number of STH friends in the first 3 rows of 322, I took my lady into almost completely unoccupied 2nd row for the third period at the advice of friends in the 1st row.
A couple of minutes into the period, a security guard comes to kick me out, because some selfish, overprivileged prick complained. Now, I’ve got my jersey on, I hadn’t even yelled anything at that point – despite the frustration that we were losing at that point – I was simply enjoying being able to watch the game without having to crouch to see through metal bars. There’s no fucking need to complain to security when someone sits in unoccupied seats in the third period.
So if the uncircumsized phillistine fucknut who happened to do the security complaining is reading this, I will be at the game tomorrow night, in the 3rd row of 322 like I have been for 10 or 15 games the past two years.
Come say hi.

Great Post. I totally agree with AJ. We are in 304 all the way up and the standing room folks up there are not too bright about the game either.
We all realize that WWW screwed up by not looking out for future Hawk fans by taking care of his venerable “season ticket holders” So this is how we treat the young ’uns when they come to our house? Wrongo boys . Man up and let the dad and his kid enjoy the best Hockey fans in the league. Save the nastiness for inside the area and let it fall on the visitors on the ice only. Remember as we all did when we played “Leave it On the Ice” !!!

Love the post. I’m an Avs fan here in the Chicago area, and go to the Avs/Hawks tilts at the UC in an Avs sweater. I enjoy the good natured ribbing that I take on occasion. I though, am not a fan that will rub anything in. When my team scores, I stand up and clap…then I sit down. I don’t rag on the other team, just cheer on my own.
I’ve been going to games at the UC since the beginning of Avs move from Quebec. Even during the heated playoff run in ‘96, I have never had a problem with a fan in the 30’s. Maybe it’s because I am not an a-hole back
If this is a re-build...we should do it every year.
Little taste last night
Didn’t sit in my reguilat seats last night (326 row 1), but , after last night, I want to applaud people in this area for being free of ignoramuses.
Last night, in 311 row 11, got a treat from the people behind- father breakin’ it down for young son.
Ongoing critique of Huet (note- Nieme in net), mooing “shooooot” during four-man scrambles in the corner, Q&A- “Who wins icing? The first guy to the puck. Who? Pay attention Ben. Who?”
The women in front of me waved to Sandberg on the JumboTron for about 10 seconds.
All in all, the lighter side of novice fans.
Sunday night
Bickell wins a battle down in the corner, and removes Joel Ward of the puck. Seconds later, Erat crosschecks Bicks in the square of the back (no call) and steals the puck.
Mother of Squatch: “that’s why you’re going back to Rockford, Bickell!”

I couldn't agree more
I bought my season tickets in Dec. 2007, until then I had been going to almost every game for 2 years with $5 student tickets (the one thing Dollar Bill did right). I sit in 325/16 on the aisle and am becoming increasingly annoyed at the hockey retarded. I too hate when people don’t wait for a whistle, but having 50 different people yell at the guy the entire time he walks down the stairs is more distracting/annoying. One person yell once then let it go. Honestly though it seems like the old guard is just as much to blame for this jackassery as the bandwagon jumpers. There are plenty of non frat-boy fans whole idiotically scream “SHOOOOT!” when the Hawks don’t even have the puck and I don’t think the newbies who don’t wait for the whistle themselves are the ones heckling people who wait for the puck to drop before getting out of their seats.
I’m all for screaming and yelling just save it for when Sopel plays like Sopel or Steeg makes yet another stupid play. Brian Campbell doesn’t suck and neither does Huet, but Detroit, Jordan Tootoo, Chris Pronger, and Andrei Zyuzin do indeed inhale vigorously.
Great, thanks, now that we’ve got that settled: LETS GO HAWKS!!!
Everyone has their sanctuary. The Catholics have churches, fat people have Wisconsin, and I have the United Center.
