In Chicago - Anything Is An Excuse To Hire A Goon
As Sam pointed out in the post below, we were all prepared for the onslaught of pseudo-outrage over the photos that our friends over at The Kurtenblog posted. If you're a columnist in this city, and probably everywhere else too, you patiently wait all year for something like this to happen. It's an easy couple hundred words you can churn out in a few minutes about over-paid atheletes not taking their jobs seriously... then you can go hit up the Billy Goat and get plastered yourself (and likely try and fail to pick up girls far less attractive than those 3).
Well - I didn't really see this coming.
According to RIck Morrissey, the Blackhawks are going to pay for these photos on the ice because other teams won't take them seriously and they certainly won't be scared of them.
Now, this is idiotic for several reasons that I probably don't need to explain to all of you... but I'm going to anyway.
From Morrissey's article:
With the photos likely already in the hands of opposing teams, we're talking about dead men skating here. They are perfect candidates for strategic elbows, surgical stick work and milk-money bullying, just on general principle. This is not going to be pretty, seeing as how the Hawks lack an enforcer.
Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg are 5'10 and listed at 178 and 182 Lbs respectively (and maybe generously)... since when have they ever not been prefect candidates for cheap shots? We know Versteeg will drop the gloves and throw some punches.. but that's only if it's Kyle Turris or Patrick Eaves on the other side of the fight. Morrissey obviously doesn't read Behind The Net's amazing site either (one of many problems with Morrissey really). If he did, he'd know that Kane already takes a beating on the ice just about every game. Even Iron Madden has made a career of playing tough hard minutes on checking lines but only has one fighting major in the NHL.
If another team wants to play dirty against them, they were going to do it long before these pictures came out. The Blackhawks have been targeted all year by teams trying to get overly physical with them and knock them off their game. The result so far has been the Hawks at or near the top of the league in points, goals, shots and whatever else you may want. Ask Calgary or Vancouver how well gooning it up went in the playoffs last year. I can't believe any one gets paid to write about these teams and still laments the lack of a true old-school fighter... but so it goes. As we've said all along on this site, we'd much rather work on improving the power play than wasting a roster spot on an ape who can barely skate but punches people in the face real good.
Morrissey could have and probably did write the same thing about Kane in the off season after the cabbie incident. We were all a little worried about how Kane would react to the taunting he'd receive after punching an old man over 20 cents. As it turns out, it didn't really hurt his game in the slightest. He's 4 goals and 13 points away from setting new season highs and he's a plus 14 which shocks all of us. If the embarrassment over the summer didn't phase him, this certainly shouldn't either.
Now, there's been plenty of talk in the comments on this site about the fact we're disappointed by the pictures... not that they were taken really but in the fact that the girls weren't much hotter. Not to say they girls aren't attractive but we build up these players in our minds to be everything we really want to be. They get paid millions of dollars to play a sport that we love and that many of us actually spend a good portion of our own money to join a beer league on our nights off. So we want them to score the highlight reel game winner, polish off a 5th of whiskey without hesitiating and then go home with the 11 out of 10 every night because that's just what happens when you're a professional athlete, right?
Well Morrissey's disappointed for an entirely different reason:
Am I offended by the Internet photos showing some shirtless Blackhawks in a limousine -- a limo that also carries several fully dressed women?
No, I'm offended that the players look like members of 'N Sync or Backstreet Boys in the photos.
...
No, the issue here is what we want our hockey players to be. And I'm here to tell you that they're not supposed to be impish Justin Timberlakes or naughty Nick Carters. They're supposed to be tough-looking guys. In the photos, these guys are a cross between the silliness of the Beatles and the suggestiveness of the Spice Girls.
Umm.. Ok, I thought it was a little weird that Patrick Kane evidently waxes his chest too but getting outraged by the fact they aren't covered in scars is a little much. They can look like anything they want without a shirt on as long as once that sweater is on they do things like this. I'm sure this part of the article was written tongue-in-cheek (good god, please don't let it be serious) but come on... not all hockey players are going to be as scary as Probert. Has he never seen this picture before?

At least for most of it. The part about the three being targeted because of the pictures though seemed like it was serious though
Targeted for the pictures?
Yeah, that’s silly…people may have said similar things after the naked hockey player pics in ESPN’s Body Issue a few months back. Well, one was of Zdeno Chara, so that’s a little different than going after Kane…The other was of 3 Oilers (brief pause as I look at the copy of it next to my computer…yep, Oilers) and well, they’ve had their troubles this year but I don’t think a mildly embarrassing photo is the cause.

They should try drunkenly bribing cops while in the kack of a squad car, killing Hawks legends in drunk driving accidents or murder for hire a gay lover or whatever it is they do in St. Louis instead of renting a limo and drinking.
Relief
I’m glad others are sharing my sentiments. When I read the Morrissey article I was just confused. None of it even made sense to me.
Personally, the Hawks style of play has made me love hockey even more. I like watching sports more than goon fests.
And anyone who needs their hockey players to “look tough” needs to reevaluate why they are a sports fan. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Personally, I wouldn’t care if their preference of off-the-ice wear was lip gloss, miniskirts and tube tops. As long as they win, I don’t need macho beefcake party shots.

I’m glad to have something else to talk about, even if it’s as ridiculous as this. Now, the real debate: would people rather see shirtless pics of Huet or Niemi?
KIDDING, kidding…
a little chippy: a blog, mostly hockey
haha! Nice way of combining two of our favorite/hated recent subjects. I bet Niemi is sporting a pretty healthy Scandinavian Hairshirt, for those of you ladies that are into wooly guys.
I joke about this because that awful “look at all the cute Hawks!” story last week mentioned Huet, and I didn’t know anyone really thought of him as attractive. Meanwhile, I think Niemi looks sort of cute, at least in the shots of him with him goalie mask up. But then I have a sort of unhealthy fixation on goalies and the less said about this the better…
a little chippy: a blog, mostly hockey
Interesting. My girlfriend has Huet and Sharp tied for best looking Hawks.
Also interesting about your “unhealthy” goalie fixation. I’ve never heard of that before but then again, its not part of my regular conversations to ask people what kind of hockey player they find most sexy!
i know a couple of goalie fans.

by krome on Jan 28, 2010 2:38 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I think the attraction might be....
the fact that they look super fat when they are in their pads and then when you see them in street clothes you realize that they are in shape, and they look more in shape than other players based on their relative size on the ice.
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
Or maybe...
it’s because they’re probably one of the few guys on the team that have all their own teeth?

all good theories
And our resident goalie fixation specialist, KofC, doesn’t know the reason for her attraction!
This could be a good master’s thesis for a psychology student.
okay, I'm adding that phrase as my signature now
at least for a little while…
I’d make a comment about how I’d be willing to encounter actual goalies for the sake of that research, but I don’t want Johnny Lava making fun of me here too, heh…

The only Cup we can win is this years
Ha, I was away for a few minutes and missed this, but now I can answer: I don’t know. I watch almost all hockey games online and take a lot of screenshots of whatever I find notable/interesting and I noticed I was really fixated on the moment at the end of the game when the winning team pats/bumps the goalie’s head…and any shots of a goalie with his mask up. There’s some kind of art project or at least blog posts coming out of this.
the Four Habs Fans blog posted a photo of Manon Rheaume yesterday (because they played the Lightning) and I gotta say, that was nice too
a little chippy: a blog, mostly hockey
I've always thought Huet was attractive, but...
… I tend to have an unhealthy goalie fixation also. While I’m not in complete agreement with K_Dog’s girlfriend (I go for the Tazer type more than the Sharp type), Huet would be toward the top of my list of attractive Blackhawks. Top five, probably. I wasn’t too enamoured of Niemi (looks-wise; I’m completely in love with his win-loss and GAA) until I heard the commercial he did for Comcast, in which his stumbling accent makes me want to hug him.
by spokeinthebandwagon on Jan 28, 2010 2:14 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, Huet looks fine, I just never thought of him as one of the heartthrobs (I get a little scared by that grin you sometimes see behind the mask). But he does have the French accent…
I saw Niemi’s wedding photos on another blog and they’re pretty interesting. I’ll find an excuse to post them somewhere someday.
There’s more I could say about all this but I’ll just go on record as saying Hjalmarsson is the cutest. That is all.
a little chippy: a blog, mostly hockey
See, my girlfriend doesn’t see Huet’s strange expressions while he is tending goal (because she doesn’t watch the games closely). Maybe if she saw The Grin, it would knock him down a notch or two, I don’t know. She only sees him on the bench or after the game, with his helmet off. Then its like “oh who’s that?” and I tell her, and she is kind of shocked that he is Huet the goalie.
You mean the writers and analysts didn't create the controversy?

Glad Morrissey set us straight
I was worried that being 20-odd games over .500 and hovering near the top of the league was going to start to cost us. A goon will help us work it out.
He really sets the standard
for having watched maybe 1 game? A goon is the answer to our problems?? Really, I thought having 74 points was good…but with a little success comes a little bastard who thinks his little brain can understand what hockey is about these days?
All Morrissey's column proves is just how little the local columnists know about hockey.
So every hockey player should look like Bob Probert?! Has Morrissey ever seen Sidney Crosby? Wait, that’s a dumb question. That would mean he’s actually watched a hockey game in the past 3 years.

Seriously though
I hope I’m not alone in assuming these guys did shit like this all the time. I think we’re way past the ability to be shocked by tame pictures.
I think opposing teams
are reacting in one of three ways right now, with #3 being far and away the most common:
1) Just like SCH has, with surprise that the women aren’t hotter
2) With jealousy
3) Trying to remember if anyone had a camera in THEIR limo last night.
Serious question
Why are newspaper sportswriters in general – and in this town especially – such overwhelming assholes? The usual answer is that “controversy sells papers” or somesuch, but it’s becoming overwhelmingly clear with the rise of the internet that newspaper people don’t actually know how to sell newspapers when consumers are given an alternative.
Put another way – if the Sun-Times actually hired a writer that people wanted to read, instead of a guy who does nothing but piss people off, isn’t there a good chance that more people would read the Sun-Times, either in print or on the web?
he's getting readers though

Is not so much the article itself as it is the back cover of the Suntimes today. The four photos are on the back cover of the fucking paper.

For fuck’s sake, the previously inept Bulls have won 4 road games in a row….isn’t that cover worthy?!

Or at least, you know. Stay sane. I’ll settle with knowing there’s at least one writer in Chicago who can make sense at a time like this.
It should be pointed out that the Hawks confirmed the pictures were taken on Saturday night AFTER the team’s 5-1 loss to the Canucks and with the players knowing coach Joel Quenneville had given them Sunday off.
[…]
The Hawks were angry with themselves for losing. I was in the dressing room GM Place and saw it. But it was game 52 in an 82-game schedule, the fifth stop on an eight-game, 15-day road trip. Isn’t this a team that has proven itself time and time again this season to earn the benefit of the doubt from fans for an occasional loss? Look at the body of work here. It was one loss in January.
These were three players on a 21-man roster photographed. Where do you think the others were that night? I guarantee you most of them, if not all of them, were out on the town as well. All that is missing is the photo evidence.
This just in: Pro athletes like to go out on the road. Stop the presses.
And one last thing: For anyone to even remotely compare these limo pictures to Theo Fleury getting beat up in a Columbus strip club in January 2003 as leading to a possible collapse by the Hawks here is as off base as it comes and shows a complete and total lack of knowledge of either situation.

How the Vancouver pictures will affect this promising season is uncertain, but the last time anything remotely similar occurred led to disaster.
That happened in January 2003, when Theo Fleury and Phil Housley took young teammate Tyler Arnason to a strip club in Columbus, Ohio. Fleury, who had a long history of alcohol and drug abuse, reportedly got into a fight with a bouncer and appeared at the morning skate the next day with a badly bruised face.

If Big Dusty Buff was in those pictures
He’d be drinking out of skull.
Actually the frame of the picture was too close. It cut out Joel Q. He was in the limo as well, wearing another man’s skin and drinking out of shrunken head.

people who have their panties all in a knot over this must’ve never gotten drunk and done something stupid in their entire lives.

Seriously though...
I’m just glad the pictures didn’t have any TNA, with those girls I’da gouged my eyes out.
And while Anahiem returns to the locker room, Todd Bertuzzi is cuffed and returns to the squad car.

Rick Morrisey is the biggest dumbfuck on the Trib staff. He said a while back that Tiger wouldnt win the masters, but tiger raped the field. He also said that North Korea should attack us because of the way President Obama was dressed during the all-star game. This is also coming from a wirter, whose newspaper devotes a whole quarter of a page about the Hawks…….the cubs got more coverage after a hawks win………
He's on the Sun Times now but your points are great
The Trib’s idea of a hockey article was to have a woman post a bunch of pictures of the “cute guys” and say, “Hey ladies! Come to a hockey game to check out some cute butts!”

Hey Hawk fans! I agree that this is all ado about nothing, although I’m sure Twenny Cent is thinking to himself “I could have sworn I remember those chicks being hotter than they appear in this pics.”
Can’t wait for March 5th and I sincerely hope that the Western Conference Finals are Chi-Van. That series could be epic.
Yup, that's right.
Who was it that once said, “you can drink ‘em pretty, but you can’t drink ’em skinny.” Then again, some subscribe to the adage that “fat-bottomed girls make the [hockey] world go round.”

I feel stupider just for having read the pre-jump paragraph
let alone the crazy dumb shit Morrissey penned.
Not that I feel dumber because of what you wrote, rather from what it was about.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
WHY ARE MY HAWKS HANGING WITH GRENADE LAUNCHERS?
