Once again...Congrats
(Best part about losing to you folks twice? I can recycle graphics)
Several days ago I had hoped to be typing something different, but without question the better team won. Chicago had more talent, poise, finish and drive to earn that series win. My congrats to the folks who run the team, the guys who run SCH and all the Chicago fans (trolls aside) who suffered many bad seasons to bask in these moments.
I wish you the best of luck going forward though I trust you'll understand if I refuse to root for your team out of principle (or jealousy or spite...not sure it fluctuates) but I do know this: last year this loss hurt a lot more. I thought we had a team that could stand up to your test, but your talent and our injured, poor play did us worse than I could have thought. Vancouver got flatly outclassed and it's a tough pill to swallow. Shit happens; sometimes it happens twice. In a row.
But that's us so screw it. Tonight and going forward it's about you. You have earned every second of relishing this level of accomplishment and I hope you're all out getting tanked or tagging "fuck scum" and slamming car bombs to even read this.
Cheers folks. Enjoy the battles ahead.

Thanks
There are a number of classy folks on your site and it’s nice to see. I like to believe most of us would be as gracious if the situation were reversed. Good luck next season.
Spite is a legitimate reason to root against a team.
Without spite, what’s left in sports but hard work, honor, and glory? That shit’s boring.
Congrats to the Nuck fans for being the most fun to root against. You guys are funny, and good sports (unlike the Scum fans. Just look at the comments on Puck Daddy’s Eulogy blog). You’ll forgive me for wishing your team nothing but the worst of luck moving forward (You can still be spiteful even when you win.)
I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitious.

Great Team all the same
My best friend, a Canucks fan, is the one that got me watching Hockey. Though I’m a ‘Hawks fan, I think I’m almost alone when I say that, when not playing the Blackhawks, I always hope the Canucks win.
This doesn’t make me a true Canucks fan, I know, and I can proudly declare that to all that listen. But I can also say that of all the ‘Nucks fans I’ve met, I haven’t disliked a single one, even AFTER they hear I cheer for their hated rivals. It was a gritty series, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Can’t wait to see you again next year.
Good luck Hawks fans! I be rooting for you over SJ. I want to see a Hawks – Pens Final so you can avenge the bullshit that was 1992
Thanks and I like the way you think!
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I'd like to see that too.
I want to avenge us being stopped by Van Damme on the breakaway during Sudden Death.

I always thought cheering for the team that beat you was a good way to go about it
That way you can say, “well at least we got knocked out by the best.”
But I suppose that’s just me.
Couldn’t bring myself to root for the Avs or Wings. We get eliminated a lot :)

We've been pretty lucky
in that for the most part the guys from OtF and now NM have been worthy foils, adding to the discussion while giving as good as they get.
Every team site has it’s trolls, but I’ll add my salute to Vancouver fans (and Preds fans) who have visited.
teaching respect for the Indian, one Red Wing fan at a time.
It's been impressive
how few trolls there have been, compared to how many Chicago’s sent their way. I wonder if it has something to do with the relative sizes of fanbase (and I don’t mean that in a bragging sense).
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
Do you really think the Hawks
have a bigger fan base? I wouldn’t have considered that 3 or 4 years ago but with the recent resurgence in your franchise maybe you do. There are about twice as many people in “Chicagoland” as there are in all of BC so it stands to reason your fanbase is larger.

I don't think we honestly have a bigger fanbase
But I also don’t think trolls are usually “real” fans (oh, God, have I become Overserved?). With a larger population, and a ton of media attention, there are a lot more chances for a douchebag fandwagoners to go come around.

I just thinks it's great that you
are getting media attention in Chicago and getting more and more fans. Getting back to where that franchise should have been all along.

When you love to root against a team so much….it’s because you guys a re a good team. /handshake
Great post
thanks for the handshake, it was fun having you all around here (and more fun than vice versa, unfortunately).
Just wanted to say Congratulations and Well Done
to the Hawks. I had a lot of fun hanging out over here the last week or so. You guys have been great.
Clearly the better team won. I don’t think the Canucks have anything to be ashamed of, except maybe Luongo, for their performance in this series. We were up against the best team in the NHL and our D was banged up but we fought hard and pushed you guys to 6 games. Moving on I don’t see any way the Hawks don’t win the Cup. Good Luck and enjoy the next few weeks. You guys deserve it after what you’ve been through the last decade or so.

It was a fun series and it was fun bantering with you NM folks. Good luck next season. (except when you play the Hawks.)
Good work Hawks and congrats to SCH. The better team advanced, to be sure. Best of luck vs. the Sharks. I think I’m going to remain neutral on that series. Wouldn’t want dbags like Burish, Byfuglien and Eager to influence who I cheer on.
Now, see what I’ve done? I thought I was making some progress, too. Sigh. ’Til next season.
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
Congratulations guys, as many have said before, the better team (unfortunately :) ) won. Good luck vs. the Sharks, I’m a little torn on who to cheer for, as I love some of the guys on the Hawks (Toews, Seabrook, Keith), but don’t care for some others…either way I imagine whoever wins this series will probably win the whole thing.
Also, can we have your defense?

"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Good job and good luck
Replying to this basically because it says most of I want to say. I want to root for Chicago, but for every Toews, there’s an Eager to balance it out. San Jose is San Jose, I’ve got nothing against them. Except for being in the same state as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of US, I guess.
It’s more frustrating for me because I don’t hate the Hawks as much as I did last year – you played better, and were the better team. I can’t despise that.
Now go play some good, smart hockey.
Wow
You people (yeah I said “you people”) are decent human beings. If the roles were reversed I’m not so sure I would be. I’m very impressed.
You deserve better than you got, and unfortunately I think the difference was injuries more so than talent.
Thanks guys.

Thanks SCH, had so much fun here. You guys are pretty awesome, and nicer than I thought you would be.
In all honesty, I’m kinda glad I can just appreciate some good hockey without any allegiances to one team. Less anxiety, haha.

Hey you dirty Blackhawk loving bastards.
Congratulations. You beat us fair and square. No excuses. No complaints. You were the better team..ugh…again.
Just wanted to say thanks for this site. From the admins, who put out first class material for general consumption, to the members here who chew it up, digest it, crap it back out, then sift through the remnants to make sure they didn’t miss anything. You’re definitely thorough.
Every time I drop by I’ve felt welcome and enjoyed either discussing things with you or even just reading the comments of a very knowledgable hockey crowd with a great sense of humour (yeah, it’s spelled right!).
Good luck going forward with a great young team. You earned and deserve it. Man, this hurts.
Great job as always, Yankee. Cheers to you all.
Shove it in your addendum.
Yankee
I came on your site after the game Friday and trolled hardcore. For you to still come here and offer congrats despite my douchebaggary, that’s class.
Sorry again.

Most of you folks over at NM were really quite OK by me
It was a difficult series to endure (with both teams doing their frustrating meltdowns at differing times). This one went our way, this time.
We’ll see each other again next spring.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I sure fucking hope not
then we’ll be out in the second round again.

Classy move Nucks fans
Pure class from you guys once again.
Not suprised as I’ve enjoyed blogging with you guys for the 2nd consecutive year here and on the Silver Seven. It’s been a pleasure and joy all season and hope you guys stick around here during the WCF.
2010 PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2 MVP
Jonathan Toews - 4 goals and 8 assists for 12 points in 6 games
- Hat-trick in Game 4, need I say more?
As a really new member of SCH
I have to say thank you, to the NM members. It was truly a good series, as I’m sure fans on both sides of the broadcast(s) kept their nitro pills and defibrilators at the ready from start to finish. I know I did.
The class and depth of knowledge displayed by your members was appreciated and impressive, to say the least.
Thank you for your contributions to our blogging activities here at SCH, and as it has been said many times already: Hopefully we’ll see some of you through the rest of the Playoffs (there is some tremendous Hockey being played, afterall), and we’ll be certain to do this again next season!
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
This is so classy.
And gay.
