All Chicago media is sick of hearing Keenan complain

by Killion on Apr 22, 2009 10:28 AM CDT

First of all, playoff hockey is going to get me fired. Or at least the games every other day will - I'm too excited/nervous on a game day to get anything done. Then the day after I'm just trying to stay awake and not puke on anything because I'm exhausted and hung over. Then it's game day again...

Second, You can't really miss it - but everyone's jumping in on the Kennan is a crybaby bandwagon. The Trib, Sun Times and the Daily Herald all have been running stories pointing out Kennan's crying in complaining about a cross check. And Sassone's blog is becoming a must-read for all Hawks fans, as if it wasn't already. Sassone's leading the charge against Keenan and Fifth Feather is already looking for a fight between him and Keenan.

My guess for the spark would be that Keenan's going to pissed that yet another person assosciated with the Hawks can grow a better mustache than he can.

Q just keeps getting better in our book though - instead of using the media to complain he simply says that a press conference "isn't the proper forum" to discuss what's going on.

Each game gets more intense and can believe tonight's is going to be a violent affair. A win tonight obviously gives them the chance to wrap up the series back here in Chicago. We'll be around with more as the day goes on..

Keenan's going to be fired after he loses this series.

In typical Keenan style, he’s going out with dignity.

Got more soul than a sock with a hole.

That pic is a beauty …

The boys have to pick it up tonight and play as though they absolutely have to win every battle. They’ve yet to play a full three periods in this series, and the fact that something is stopping them from doing so in the playoffs has me a bit frightened. If Calgary hadn’t matched them in that respect, we’d be the ones down 2-1, or even 3-0.

I consider it my responsibility to be negative. I’d love to see some players other than Biscuit, Keith, Toews, Havlat, Ladd, Bolland pick it up and play with some ferocity and desperation.

P.S. Who’s MikeVanAcker, and why does he always just pick the same guys right down the line in SPG? That’s no fun.

i think buff has been decent so far in this series

2nd off, I have not lived in bolingbrook for years.

Yup, Buff has been good, it’s been an unexpected surprise to seem him play a more physical brand of hockey, especially with the pressure on.

I guess my point was that I’m not comfortable that we haven’t been able to put together a full 60 minutes yet. If we play the rest of the series the same way we played the first three games, I don’t think we’ll win, for the sole reason that Calgary is upping their level of play. If we play from first to last minute the way we can, we’ll win … but we haven’t done it yet, and I can’t figure out if that’s nerves, motivation, or Calgary’s play. It’s something that needs to be figured out.

Ginger is playing like Mary Ann

When is Campbell going to step up and contribute? He has been a big disaapointment over the second half of the season and right into the playoffs. Why not bring Aaron Johnson in to play some “real” defense and stick Soupy up at wing where he seems to want to play anyway. Does he really have 7 years left on his huge contract?

rec'd for the title alone

Agreed

and rec’d. Campbell needs to show up tonight to play.

My wife, who knows her hockey, actually said during the third period Monday when he touched the puck on camera at one point “where has he been all night? I didn’t even notice Campbell was playing? Did they have him benched or something?”

While we’re moving Campbell to wing, let’s move Zorich to linebacker.

How about this

Samardzija to wide receiver
Soriano to bat 4th, 5th or 6th
Ramirez to center…….no not Aramis
Lovey to the broadcast booth

When did Sandy get hairplugs?

He has a lot more hair in this picture. Looking good, Keenan!

Oh, wait… That’s a baby; I mean, a real baby.

It’s gamesmanship by Keenan. Comon guys, you should expect this sort of thing in the playoffs. Myself, as a Flames fan, I am pretty ambivalent about it – much more concerned about questionable stuff that happens on the ice.

I mostly just wanted to post that picture I made...

I get what he’s trying to do though, it’s just annoying

You know how long its been since we've been in the playoffs?

It was annoying

when he did it here, and in St. Louis, and in New York. I swear it gets whinier sounding with each team though

So what you’re saying is that Keenan did it to light a fire underneath the Fla— oh, shit. I think Keenan just invented double fire. We’re all fucked.

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

Keenan

If Keenan was the coach of the Hawks,they would have a better chance for the cup because he would have demanded that the Hawks have at least 1 fighter on the team
