Hey everyone. I just found out about this board, and decided to join immediately. For the 99.9% of you who don't know who I am, my name is Jay Zawaski. I'm the producer of the Danny Mac Show on the Score, Hawks playoff postgame show host on the score, and author of the Red Light District blog on Chicagonow.com. I'm looking forward to a new hockey board. Thanks for haviing me.
What do I need to know about this place?

I missed the "don't" in your 3rd sentence
and thought you were saying we all should know who you were. Oops. Welcome anyway!
You should know that we are tired of goalie talk, there is a lot of beer talk, and you should be reading the Committed Indian.
thanks
thanks katherine,
i’m tired of bad goaltending, love beer, and read the committed indian, so i think i’m good.

I'm suprised it took this long
But you should also learn to use the reply button.
Use the reply button!
I say that facetiously, of course. More or less. But yeah, under each comment, by the name of the commenter and the date the comment was posted, is a “reply” link—use it so your reply is nested underneath the comment. This helps everyone keep track of conversations.
The next button is “actions” and it allows you to “rec” a comment or “flag” it. Rec anything you like, and if it gets 2 recs the comment turns green. Flag a comment if it’s completely inappropriate, but this is more useful for spam than anything else.
As for the board, just have thick skin, be ready to take it as much as you give, etc etc. There are a couple of inside jokes but hopefully you know how to detect sarcasm.
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

also...
be prepared for sarcastic responses, a lot of Canucks and redwings hate, we also give kane a lot of crap for being “to lazy” Kops for not being able to skate or keep his helmet on, and get angry about the power play and the “clown shoes” that it is

sam sent me an email implying i am somewhere between vladimir konstantinov and hitler on the “beloved” list on this site. can’t wait.

so he’s really your only obstacle on the path to popular acceptance.
Oh and Rule #1: Cardio Definitely don’t write a FanPost on your first day on the site – or you’ll get a letter from me.
Doh!
Welcome!
Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but if you rank between Kesler and Pierre McGuire aren’t you banned from this site?
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Please don't insult the man
Plus both Kesler and McGuire would be welcomed here.
Kesler, so that he can publicly issue another apology to Ladder (and hopefully unsuccessfully again)
McGuire, as long as he uses the proper “penis avatar” so we that readily recognize him
I guess, as Jay Z suggested, Kesler’s also a penis, so he and McGuire could share the same avatar photo, but Kesler’s would have have to be a blue, cowardly-looking penis. Hey that gives me an idea. cdz3210, stick a camera down your pants, take a pic and send it to Kesler please.
See, now that’s funny

Something got lost here
I am not insulting anyone. I was just giving examples of the different level of posters here.
As a joking reply (and please take no offense, I’m not being serious) to your suggestion that I stick a camera down my pants for Kesler’s avatar, take a picture of your face. It probably looks the same and the lighting would be better.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Ha! I was just giving you shit
I know you were being sarcastic. Someone new might not have gotten it though. Might I suggest the mjthor school of posting sarcastically though? ;) I’m sure he’ll be glad to give you a lesson.
By the way, since we’re on the topic of blue avatars, I like your new one. Way to stick to the Homer theme too.

whether its someone's face or someone's junk
I think we could all do without seeing a “blue, cowardly-looking penis”
I don't know if you saw the academy awards
but I think Ben Stiller fit the description pretty good.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
I figured you were
Looks like I’ll have to sign up for mjthor’s class.

Kesler is a penis. You could actually just say is a penis. just as effective and accurate.

Friendly Reminder to use the "reply" button
on comments that you want to stay grouped.
By the way you hit the nail on the head with your assessment of Kessler.

got it…thanks. i will reply from now on. these interwebs are confusing to me.

You don't know what you're talking about!
Ooops, I meant that as a reply to someone else. Sorry VerStig
Hi!
I have no idea who you are, but I’ll harrass you just as much as I harrass everyone else!
Oh, be careful with bb guns, you may shoot an eye out. Same thing goes with goalie arguments, really, someone is going to lose an eye.

I just hope it isn’t the either of our goalies that lose an eye. They seem to have enough trouble already.

Wow
now I’m seriously starting to wonder if this is a brilliant idea that might actually help. With the way pucks have been flying past their glove hand lately, both of them seem to have a case of double vision. One eye = one puck, right? Genius!!!

anyone else realize this awesome juxtaposition?
JayZ joins the site with a fanpost that is published right after another fanpost titled “Chicago Sports Radio Sucks”
Yes, that is hysterical. Nice catch.

Hey Jay
I’m a big score guy and listen to The (can’t forget Spiegs) Danny Mac show almost every day, and text quite a bit. Nice to see you on the blog.
Welcome Jay,
Just remember the one big rule.
All comments will be graded for both spelling and, uh, you know, proper englishness.

welcome
if you dont take anyone seriously you will be fine… Danny Mac is a hell of a good guy! Used to listen to Mac jurko and harry all the time until Mac was let go… now its garbage! but i do try to listen to the show on 670 whenever I can… the whole morning thing screws with my busy schedule… haha
Drink it up!
welcome, Jay!
I remember a couple seasons ago when ‘Hawks broadcasts were still on the Score … you did a great job as the producer then, and welcome to the site! Basically, keep your sense of humor at hand and don’t feed the trolls, and you’ll be just fine.
I went to college with this bastard
and shared the ol’ WLRA studios at Lewis U. with him. He doesn’t know anything…do ya Jay!?
Kidding, of course. I can vouch for Mr. Zawaski. A good Hawk fan, and good guy. Good to see you on here Jay! Definitely some helpful advice from the posts above…and one of the best parts on this board, compared to most blog comment boards, you can FUCKING swear!

Introducing myself...
What’s up folks. Love this site. Best place I’ve seen for reading intelligent hockey commentary. From chicago, but live in LA due to work nonsense. I don’t read the committed indian, but I recognize that I should, and enjoyed that Burish writeup (but not quite as much as I enjoyed his first three minutes back on the ice). Usually too boozed to be coherant, doesn’t stop me from Hawkin the fuck down and watching the Hawks tear it up in Hawk town.

Rule #1
I learned the hard way. Steer clear of gay innuendo. It’s tempting in a macho sports vein when reaching for an emasculating epithet to draw on this well, but I advise you to resist the temptation.
Suggesting opposing players are female (e.g. Cyndy Crosby, sandy vag, etc.) seems to be a safer bet.
The safest course of all is liberal use of the term “douchenozzle”, universally approved in these parts.
Welcome.
As you can see
ironic use of the term “fag” is generally accepted. In fact, ironic use of nearly everything is generally accepted. Sometimes, it seems most comments on this site are of the ironic variety.
Why... Why are you never funny?
Well meeshak's only 10
so I’m sure he’ll appreciate the compliment – but we’re still not letting him go to PG-13 movies!

I thought he was a short, middle-aged balding guy...?

this is what happens
when i leave for a couple hours? i find out katherine thinks i’m middle-aged and CNS thinks i’m 10, and both 815Sox and Badgerdano miss the sarcasm flowing through my comment.

I was thinking about recing his comment, actually.
If you were actually funny, I may have sided with you.

Ironic
I did not miss your sarcasm, I appreciated it and was attempting to be ironically ironic and blah blah blah, whatever.
I'm sure your definition of this word is
for a cigarette or a bundle sticks.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Badgerdano's comments are always on topic
so it was obviously hockey related you guys – Hey, look! A group photo.

Well...
I respectfully degree and think that female putdowns are just as bad as gay ones and always wonder why they’re so accepted, even by most women. But…people here do use male insults too (see all the “penis” remarks above), and the variations on “douche,” and the many SCH people I’ve met in person seem decent (I’d be terrified to meet most Puck Daddy/Yahoo commenters, by contrast). So I just get by with a mix of accepting it as irony/holding in my rage…

Welcome newcomers!
(well, some of them)
I don’t know if I’m more surprised that Jay Z didn’t know this blog (does any other Hawks blog have even a fraction as many commenters as this one?), or that people aren’t familiar with his. (Okay, I admit to not being familiar with the radio stuff mentioned.) I confess my favorite moment there was a commenter ripping into his coverage of the Vancouver limo incident (I also found the name-calling unnecessary, though I didn’t care for the personal attacks she used. Avoiding personal attacks is a good rule here too).
Uh hi, I have a blog as well. And I use a ridiculous amount of parentheses as you can see…

Does this mean,
that we have a better chance of seeing the Three Alcohteers on a TV interview? (with appropriate time delay, and assorted sweaty fingers on the button, of course.)
