Shout Me In The Streets And Parks, Scrape Your Voices On The Stars

So the parade and rally featured Mayor Daley predictably mispronouncing names, Kris Versteeg bustin' ill flowz, Duncan Keith looking like Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Dustin Byfuglien giving away wrestling belts, plenty of bad cabbie jokes....and about two million people. The sweaty, drunk, delirious masses gathered down in the loop today to be presented the greatest trophy in sports, courtesy of your Men of Four Feathers. I never thought I'd see the day, but I'm fucking glad I now have.
And I spoke too soon in the previous post, I was able to get down to the parade, as Sam, my sister, and The Professor staked out a spot in a parking garage on Washington. Here's the footage. Apologies for turning the camera away from the Cup as I was banging on the plexiglass. Note Sopel with the can of cheap beer. Busch Light? Bud Light? Miller Light? Keystone Light? You can take the boy out of Canada.....
Anyway, Sam and Kills are at the Bottom Lounge now, and I'll be there as soon as I get out of work, and you should too.

Kim Johnnson, anyone?
I posted this on the previous thread…any news on the whereabouts of Kim Johnsson, because now I’m starting to believe he IS dead. No mention of him during the rally. Even the rostered players who were at Rockford were onstage. But no Johnsson? Hmmm…methinks that maybe there was something to the rumors about being a bad teammate?
Also, TrixieTrix pointed out that there was no mention of Dale Tallon, which I also found unfortunate.
Great day at the parade though, but what a goddamn zoo that was!

And as I said in the previous thread, and numerous times before
Highly, highly unlikely. Every team has this sorta thing swirl around- the Flyers did earlier in the year.
He’s had a history of concussions, this one might have been bad.

Exactly
I didn’t believe the rumors, and could totally understand someone with medical issues not being out in that heat with all that noise, etc., but to not even mention his name was a little odd I thought.
At least I saw on the Blackhawks site that Madden had a shout out to Tallon for bringing him here. It would have been classy to at least mention the team that he was instrumental in forming.
The sun never sets on a badass
I think Dale Tallon should have been mentioned
Kim Johnsson, a rental guy that was here for 3 games? Meh.
The minor leaguers figure to be the bottom line (or 2) and 6th D next year – and were traveling with the team for the last couple of weeks.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
Agreed
I was very disappointed that Tallon got no mention. He is the true architect of this team and, ironically will be the reason some of it has to be dismantled. However, it is a win now and don’t worry about next year era in sports and he got it done. Kudos to Dale Tallon.
Kim Johnsson…irrelevant.
True fans know what he did for this team...
Thanks Dale! This Cup’s for you!

he’s getting a ring, and McD gives him a whole lot of credit for building this Championship team.
dunno how long this'll stay on Wikipedia
but check out Kim Johnsson’s page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Johnsson
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."

pretty much a families/office workers sneaking out crowd there.

I had to physically box out three teenage/20 year-old girls to keep my spot on the barrier
they all hated me, and kept complaining within ear shot about how they needed to say something about me taking up too much space (instead of letting myself get crushed so they could get closer), but admitted they didn’t have the guts to say say something.
But I hip checked better, used my shoulders and elbows better, threw my weight around. I was my “Big Buff” moment of the month.

That's because BSH turned into a borderline tabloid over the course of the series
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I think Travis is a great hockey writer. In fact, his article on SB Nation about what it feels like to watch your team lose the Cup live and in-person was one of the better reads of the season for me.
Unfortunately, he and the rest of BSH got so caught up in trying to be TMZ-Hockey that their blog has become hard to read.

TMZ-Hockey is the perfect way to describe it. Damn, I wish I could be eloquent like that.
And I agree with you about the Travis’ article on “losing the Cup live and in person.” Thought so much of it that I almost posted over there. Couldn’t figure out how to start that comment, though, without causing a flame war. All I could come up with was “Hey Travis, I think you and that Geoff guy are a couple of assholes but that was a really well written post…” :)

Nearly 200. And wouldn’t you know, some are actually good. Had a 300mm lens and was about 200ft from the stage, Jumbotron side. If I knew how to post ’em or otherwise share on the internets, I certainly would. The file sizes are huge though, as I shot them on a really high res setting. Any useful suggestions?

OK, yet another media fail moment

but I remember the same thing happening at the first Bulls rally in 1991. That’s Daley: always getting booed, always getting re-elected.
That was before he did the whole clandestine bulldozing of Meigs Field
I think that whole ridiculousness removed what little appeal he has remaining to voters. All they need now is an alternative with the balls to take him on. Anyone really.

Quinn got booed, too
But I love Quinn, partly because I saw a drunken Quinn getting into his limo at about 2:30 and yelled, “Pat Quinn!” To which he responded (while pointing at his Hawks shirt, though not the one he had on at the rally), “THEY WON!”

I was 50ft away from where the parade stopped.....
and players got off to head to the stage. At least 50% of the players had beers or were catching beers from the crowd and pounding them. Toews and Kane were shot-gunning and drinking out of the cup. I would be disappointed if they weren’t.

Oy. Know how sexy our captain is?

Olympic medal.
Olympic MVP.
Stanley Cup. (IN THE SAME YEAR as the Olympics)
Conn Smythe.
Our captain is better (yes, even if you’re the Pens) than your captain. Our captain is fucking awesome. Our captain deserves all his comparisons with Yzerman. Our captain is modest, and lovely, and plays this game like no other two-way player alive today.
In short: Toews, glorious Toews (bonus points for recognizing the musical reference). I could write similar paeans to Kane and Hossa, but I sense that it’s Toews who’s being undervalued here. Go captain! Let’s do this thing again!

They are next but I foresee someone else winning again before them, though I doubt it will be the Bears or Sox.
Hawks have the best chance
The only thing the Cubs have going for them is a good farm, and a decent young nucleus. Here’s my list in order…
1. Hawks
2. Bears
3. Bulls (if they get Lebron they’re 1b)
4. Sox/Cubs- equally bad

It was pretty unpleasant and I thought for a while I might pass out – for some reason, I thought wearing the jersey would be a good idea – but I’m sure as hell glad I got to be there.

Well, as far as SCH goes
I assume there’s a Live From the Five Hole forthcoming, along with a whole slew of season review material (it’ll be nice to give each player his due, not knowing if they’ll all be around next year) that our alkies will feed us slowly so we don’t suffer too badly from withdrawal. The new bad word starts with a C.
I propose that we set up a thread to discuss some kind of SCH post/comment “best of” series. Not sure what the best way to do it is, but what I was thinking was separate posts for best posts, comments, ’shop jobs, and videos. We should discuss them first so that we can call upon the collective memory of the community.
the live from the five hole is just going to be all three of them yelling incoherently for an hour, or at least that’s what i assume after witnessing their victory celebrations on wednesday. especially mcclure.

I listened to the replay
and the Wiedeman call was glorious. I loved their outright glee that the Hawks had won the Cup. I swear that Murray was sobbing during the post-game festivities, especially when Toews won the Smythe and the hoisted the Cup.

I LOVE THIS TEAM
almost shed a tear of joy during today’s rally. I wish the 2010-2011 season was starting tomorrow. These next few months of waiting and watching horrible baseball are going to be excruciating.
I was screaming like a little schoolgirl untill...
I saw Burish looking like he was wiping away tears. Then I started crying again. I don’t think i’ve ever cried as much as I have these past 3 days.

Don’t you wish the camera angle was from the other side, JUST SO we can see Toews’ face?

Pronger antics through out the Stanley Cup
Pissed off more then jus the Hawks. His puck stealing, his absurd interviews and the bull shit he pulled during the handshakes pissed off the NHL. He made a mockery of series and portrayed himself as bieng bigger then the Cup. Even the most hated players respected the series……he will have a very long season next year. Payback is a bitch.

We walked down Lake til we found a station to get on the El, not knowing the path would have us walking right past “The Bottom Lounge.”. We boarded the El at Lake & Ashland, looking like fucking tourists trying to figure out the dynamics of getting a card so we could ride. Awesome time, just awesome. First time on the El, first time at Millennium Park, Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science & Industry, and of course the parade and rally. I only wish I dropped in on “The Bottom Lounge”.

Also, Patrick Sharp (now clean-shaven and in a plain white tshirt) is really fucking sexy
I’m sorry, did my hormones get in the way there?
Still, Sharpie. Unf. Chicago’s sexiest athlete indeed.
(Actually, that’s what I yelled when he scored that goal in the final game: “WHOOO! Sharpie! Sexy!” Because he is. I love me some Sharpie.)

IMO, Sharpie stays
I can’t see us getting rid of him with the versatility he offers and with our lack of prospects at center. Buff and Versteeg are probably the first to go.
I have been working on these Cap Numbers
I really do not see why Shooter can not stay, but yeah Buff or Versteeg leave though.

Especially after this playoff run
As arguably our steadiest forward (I can only count one game where he was less visible, yet I still saw a ton of hustle in that game), it’d be hard to make a case for not keeping him.
Over at Nucks Misconduct they had a rather intriguing scenario where we lost a bunch of guys (Bolland, Sharpie, Soupy among them) but got to keep a lot of others (like Versteeg, Buff, Ladd). Hamhuis-Hjalmarsson was the second pairing (Hammer-Hammer, heh). I don’t think it’s going to happen, but it was an interesting idea (I think it was Section 312’s), considering the guys who stayed were the ones I’ve seen as most likely to leave.
I still want to check on more data (projected salary for Hammer, Neimi, etc....)
But using a rough figures, with pay raises for those involved I have this as a possible team for starters next season.
Est Cap. 58,600,000
Bonus 1,300,000

Marian Hossa RW
Patrick Sharp RW

This is early workings still, really just guessing in potential raises, and market values and the market itself (fortunately loaded with Defensemen and Goalies) and Huet hating life in the AHL (he will clear waivers).

I'm most interested in Hjalmarsson's numbers
I feel like Hjammer is the most important guy to keep out of any of the FAs, but the figures I’ve seen are all over the place. I think it was C&B where they said we could give him an offer sheet in the $1.5~1.6mm range, but I’ve also seen $3-$4mm per year thrown out there. So, I’m confused.
Here is my initial projections for RFA/UFA involved
I still need to do more research to fine tune the mind you.
Player Pos Salary Raise
Ben Eager RW 1250000 250000
Adam Burish D 850000 150000

You think Skille will make 1.5MM and Burish only 850K
I know nothing about the salaries and the cap. How would Skille command that much more than Burish?
Skille is an RFA right now at $1.3M for 2009-10
While Burish UFA is at $700,000 for 2009-10. I think that is about what Burish can expect given his play and playing style, and will probably be offered by (in the range) by the Hawks to keep him

So
I read this article this morning. I can’t find myself disagreeing with the assessment that teams would be willing to give up a 2nd round pick for him. We’d better be prepared to pay him $3 mil.
ughhhhh
But one thing helping out is the amount of UFA D-Men. Hopefully, this will lower the offer to below the 2nd RND threshold and then some. $3M? That is kinda rich for the Hawks, but may be doable

sooooo late to the party
but around this time last summer, someone posted (somewhere) a very interesting article about RFAs and how the system doesn’t really work in favor of other teams interested in poaching RFAs because of the politics involved. See Backes, David and Bernier, Steve as explained in PD last July 2008.
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."

At a $3.5M hit, his market value is good for some prospects and/or good draft picks. Cap Room must be made, and he seems logical and an easier guy to move than Versteeg or Buff (though I think Versteeg goes as well for similar reasons)

Until somebody from the Hawks says they are indeed in the cushion and need to take a hit next year, that is still speculation.
People are still counting Bolland, Hossa and Burrish’s salaries when they were injured towards the cap without the IR bonus. I still think that is wrong.
The number I have gotten
Shoe the Hawks were under by ~$338,000 for 2009-10 when all is considered (IR time, etc.). So that means only about ~$962,000 of Toews CS bonus will count against next season.

Yeah
I should have held off. This was really the first part. Get payroll under $58.6M, and he is a moveable asset (not totally looking at the rest yet). First part is get it under Cap, than keep the best of what you can with truth being allot D-men are FA, but not of Biscuits caliber, while not a whole lot to pick from Centerwise So Bolly and Shooter are must keeps. D-men were second to this. But working it some more, Biscuit is an easy keep, but some new number on Hammer may sacrifice someone else, depending on a few other factors, like what do we get for Buff AND Versteeg, and the Cap hit from it.
So far in the past day, I have founr ~300K more CAP space, and possible numbers for Neimi and Hammer. (Neimi I had reasonable, but Hammer will probably be 500-750K higher than I thought). Even this still leaves about $2M to fudge with on 21 players.

As someone who was at game 6, I can honestly say nobody had a clue what was going on. There was no goal light and the Ref never pointed at the net to signal a goal. A lot of us thought Kane got highsticked or something and was rushing to the bench for medical attention, we had no idea why he was flailing about like he was. I think someone from my section even screamed out “a Bench Clear?” when the Hawks all started jumping the boards. Then to make things worse, they announced the play was under review, but they never showed a replay of the goal to us on the big screen, which really started angering people because they wanted to see how that goal went in from that angle. Kudos to Kane for knowing where his shot went.
Awesome that you were there!
(Especially if you’re a Blackhawk fan.) Has anyone ever hear an explanation as to how the goal judge AND the idiot on the ice both missed the fact that puck went 5-hole and into the net? Simply because it slid under the bottom pad?
I think the whole comment
was written by “FlyersDiva”
