Thread of Joy: The Chicago Blackhawks are your 2010 Stanley Cup Champions!

Let it sink in for a few more moments: They blew all the other kids away, and now they've got Lord Stanley's Cup to prove it. This organization has finally emerged from its forty-nine years in the desert. Remember these names as they become etched into history:
Jonathan Toews, O captain, our captain.
Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, and Brent Seabrook, who saw this thing through all the way.
Brian Campbell, Brent Sopel, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Nick Boynton, and Jordan Hendry.
Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, John Madden, Dave Bolland, Andrew Ladd, Kris Versteeg, Dustin Byfuglien, Troy Brouwer, Ben Eager, Tomas Kopecky, Adam Burish, Colin Fraser, and Brian Bickell.
Antti Niemi, the first Finnish goalie to win the Stanley Cup, and Cristobal Huet.
Joel Quenneville, John Torchetti, Mike Haviland, and the rest of the coaching staff. Mike Gapski, Troy Parchment, and all the trainers who made sure this team was ready to compete.
John McDonough, Scotty and Stan Bowman, Dale Tallon, Marc Bergevin, and all of the scouts scattered across two continents who made this day -- who made the mere possibility of this day -- happen.
And last but not least, W. Rockwell Wirtz.
The recap (as if this game could be summed up with words, as if this feeling could be accurately described), will be along once the alcoholics recover from their well-deserved night of merrymaking. In the meantime, let's have it: your reactions, choice quotes from the media, visual tributes, expletive-laden exaltations, and poetic incantations.

I agree with everyone else. We were all waiting for that. We were all anticipating that he would be first, after our Captain.
We all love that guy. He chose to come to us – for a long time, and together, he and his “new” team-mates did what the Penguins, and the SCUM could not do – even with him there.
That, is a truly happy panda.
I am still crying every time I re-read these threads.
This is amazing.

After all the great players and Hawk teams I have seen in my forty years this was so great to see.
Literally I would have to sneak into bars to watch home games. Or listen to them on the radio as if it were 1943 instead of 1983.
Thank you Rocky!!!!!!
I had a couple of friends and their families over to watch the game. What a great feeling and joy to see 6 kids under 10 enjoy this moment!!!!
Not only that but most of them had 88 t-shirts on.
It is also so nice to post this instead of my usual Cubs how did they just fucking loose it!!!
I only hope...
…I can feel what you guys are feeling right now, sometime.

As a Hawks fan living in exile
I remember November 2007 as the day the Hawks were reborn. It sat in front of the TV like a kid on Christmas. My wife thought I was nuts, but I was watching the Hawks at home on TV for the first time ever.
As we were watching the game tonight, she reminded me of that day. This next beer is for Rocky and McDonough for reopening the team to we sad souls that live outside of Chicago!

Are you surprisded at my tears, sir?
Grown men also cry…..
REC
because, yeah. I was already in tears, but that just sent a fresh wave of emotion through me, that right there.
Same here...
I cried after they won. I cried more after I looked at my cousins and father and they were all crying. I cried more when I thought of my uncles and all the others who passed on without getting to enjoy a Stanley Cup in their lifetime. I cried again when Toews got the Cup. Then some more when he handed it to Hossa. Then when I thought I was done crying, JR comes on the screen and tears up and I cried again. Safe to say this win was pretty emotional.

Among the things that I never expected to see tonight:
JR crying openly on air. He said something like “We couldn’t do this while I was there” and I just lost it. Sobs.

"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living." -- Alvin Dark
I was unable, as many of you are aware, to watch any of the Stanley Cup Finals games.
As a result of the situation, I lived vicariously through two things – NHL.com’s gamecenter, and the SCH GDTs.
As one of those (not so) “young hockey players out there” when JR came up with the Blackhawks, I idolized that guy.
He embodied everything that it meant, to put on the Indian Head sweater. He played hurt, he played with absolute reckless abandon, he sacrificed the body, he went to the corners, to the front of the net, and the sin bin, all with efficient regularity. He played with a ferociousness that epitomized the Blackhawks at the time.
The man scored 50 or more goals in a season in two consecutive seasons. He scored over 100 points in a season, three years in a row. He was (and remains) one of the greatest Blackhawks players of all time (in my humble opinion).
The man – much like us – bled Blackhawk Red.
It was through no fault of his own that he played the remainder of his career in other sweaters (although there are those who may say that his mouth bought him a ticket out of town). These were the days of “Dollar” Bill, and certainly after 1992, when players began to question the ownership’s commitment to winning, they were dealt away. In Roenick’s case it was to the Phoenix Coyotes for Alex Zhamnov and Craig Mills – good call. I witnessed Roenick lose more teeth than the number of hits that I really saw Zhamnov deliver, and really – Craig Mills? Anybody seen that guy lately?
It isn’t difficult to blame Roenick for some of the bitterness that he displayed since his departure from Chicago. He loved playing in our city. He loved playing for our team. He loved playing for us, the fans of the Chicago Blackhawks.
During the GDTs, after Patrick Kane scored one of the biggest goals in franchise history, I cried. With so many of you, I cried. I couldn’t even see what was happening but I cried with all of you, as you posted that Jonathan Toews was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner. I cried with you when you posted that Marian Hossa lifted the cup after our Captain. I cried tears of joy, that our Chicago Blackhawks had truly won the Stanley Cup.
Then, someone posted that Jeremy Roenick was crying, and with it, the above quote. “JR, why are you crying?” “Its the Chicago Blackhawks, man.”
For parts of eight seasons, I was in awe of the many “JR Moments” that I had been fortunate enough to witness as a Chicago Blackhawks fan.
I want to say thank you to you, my fellow SCHers, for sharing this ride with me, and to Jeremy Roenick, for providing me with one more “JR Moment” as a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks.
I cried with all of you, just yesterday.
We all cried with JR.

Not sure. I go to youtube, and get the game highlights on the day following but it takes it hours to load
and I’ve only been able to download 3 of the Sharks game highlights, and maybe Game 1 of the SFC highlights.
My wife did record game 6 for me on the DVR, so I’ll definitely get to see that one when I get home.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
well, if you're interested
I have all six games (plus the four WCF games) and would be willing to burn you a copy. I don’t know if the package will actually get to you, though, from prior experience, sigh.
I still have hopes that it will be waiting for me back in Washington when I get back next month.
Of course, the intent was to roll the gear here in Afghanistan. I do truly appreciate the effort and the fact that you put it together and sent it out for me though. Worst case scenario, I can get it from you later. :)

Indeed!
MouthWash is making music with SM as we speak. But more important, is Mr. Kane still trying to “sell the celebration” to his teammates?! :) How amazing/hilarious/bizarre/surreal was that? Seeing him trying to convince his teammates they’d just won the Cup? I was trying to cook dinner and watch the game at the same time – dangerous! But awesome. I couldn’t fucking believe it. Did it go in? Seriously? Everybody’s befuddled!
Aside to gmh – can you do me a huge favor and give me some fresh Coach Q “tie” recap sugar in honor of his finest NHL performance/season to date? Pretty please? You are the bard of this blog, don’t you know. Wouldn’t even bother reading it, otherwise…
Now, I can wear my ’Hawks shirt to work tomorrow. The most uptight, corporate environment you could ever imagine. I have formal permission and a pinky promise from my boss. Nighty-night – but is anybody sleeping?
I'll see what I can do, haha.
Tonight’s was a Coach Q classic … glad to see him go with the familiar choices to close out the series, even if he busted out some real beauties over the course of the playoffs.
Merci!
Sorry I didn’t respond right away – I was TIErd and fell asleep on the couch. ;) In any event, I think he should retire and mount/frame the hot tomato number he wore for Game 6. Description of artwork: “Greetings. I am the tomato-colored tie that wrung Coach Q’s neck during Game 6 of the 2010 SCF. When all was said and done, my Coach prevailed over the Flyers’ orange-tied counterpart. Go ’Hawks, and never underestimate the powah of a carefully-selected tie.”
I'm going to be a freshman at mizzou in august
And my summer orentation is tomorrow
morning. I just watched my blackhawks clinch the Stanley Cup at campus bar and grill

been on that one 18 years ago, when I was born. Then, my late father still had
season tickets. Lore has it that two year old

my ears during the anthem at the old stadium. Anyway, I’m gonna go through orentation tomorrow wearing my dads old Bobby hull jersey, making god awful first impressions, and the very first thing I’m going to do when I get back in three days is buy a stanley cup champions tshirt and place it on my dads grave. I don’t know if they sell them up there.

I LOVE YOU BLACKHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
……I love you…..
One of the greatest turnarounds in all of sports franchise history!
I’m reminded of some game I was at in 2002 or 2003, where there was a babying crying. Hawks were down 4-1 to the Ducks and I yelled “You hear that baby crying? He’s crying because you suck!” This was when I used to hate Duncan Keith.
Now here, today hoisting the greatest trophy in the world, my eyes are watering…
God bless the Blackhawks, their management, their fans, this great city, JR’s tears, everything and everyone committed to the Indian.
I love Keith now btw.
Duncan Keith played for Michigan State 2001-2003
As a Michigan guy myself, I hated Keith back then, too.

After we were watching on NBC and realized it was in I quick loaded WGN Radio via the internet to hear Weideman’s call and the delay meant we heard it live – it was as much as a minute behind. We knew it was in, but both Weideman and Murray weren’t sure. Of course it didn’t take long and then chaos.
I heard a few other TV calls – one on you tube and one on The NHL Channel. Were there two Canadian feeds? Neither got it – although the replay on the NHL Network you can hear the color guy going I think it’s in the net.

I am just glad Chicago has tons of players that I can easily feel happy for.

I was watching Kane's celebration
and I thought “That would be pretty awful if he celebrated a goal that didn’t go in”, but once the bench emptied I broke down. The waterworks were pretty tame and then they were in full force when Toews lifted the Cup.
http://www.royalskingdom.blogspot.com
I wondered why there was a bench clearing fight
It took it a minute to really set in

Im here in Asheville NC with my girl and we leave my place to celebrate the CHAMPS at the best bar. In the horizon i see a hawks jersey there. He comes and hugs me. Nothing feels better. Fuck ill buy the plane ticket to come to the parade. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
Bash my face...........Hawks WIN!!!!!!
Will I be there for the parade on Friday?
Why yes, yes I will.
So glad it was Kane that scored the game-winner. Obviously I would have been happy with anyone scoring it but it just seemed fitting that it was Kane. I don’t know why.
Plus, the skate-at-full-speed-all-the-way-across-the-rink-and-jump-in-your-goalies-arms-before-anyone-even-know-what-is-happening celebration will from this point forth always be referred to as “The Kaner.” A fitting honor, to be sure.
Also couldn’t be happier for Q. He took a lot of shit this year – including by people here – about the Random Line Generator and how there were reasons why he had never won the big one, but he was genius throughout the last few rounds of this playoff. He was the sure hand that this team needed, and he deserves his time at the top of his profession. I look forward to visiting his steakhouse when it opens in River North in a few years.
Anybody know when the parade is?
I’ve got a plane ticket for Friday and I’m not sure if I should get it refunded…..

I’ve enjoyed sharing this season with all of you here at SCH.
I think it's just now hitting me.
I was over at a friends house watching the game. And we yelled and jumped around when we realized that Lazy 88 actually got the game winner, but with the exception of when JR started getting choked up, I haven’t really been emotional about it.
I am now.
During the doldrums of a few years ago, I never thought I would say this (especially so soon) but, the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.
The tears, they are flowing.

My Grandmother was a huge Hawks fan. I can still picture her running up to the TV in 92 yelling that Mario was taking a dive. She died a few years back, but we have her ashes in the living room. The first thing we did (after the screaming and hugging) was to poor everyone a shot of one of her favorite drinks, DeKuyper Key Largo Schnapps, we saluted her and downed them. Then the tears. The sweet sweet tears.

Actually, I sort of like cuddling. That’s my relaxed, reflexive, chill out time where I don’t gotta think about nothin.
Which, admittedly, is pretty gay.

after downloading
i use windows movie maker to edit it or cut it. then a simple converter to make it an mp3. save it to your phone. BAM! ringtone.
In iTunes
You have to make it an .m4r (after converting to AAC and reducing it below a certain length (30sec?))
There may be other trickeration required beyond that to get your iPhone to recognize it, but they may have made that part easier recently
if you have garage band (which is one of the things macs get bundled in)
then just stick it in there, create a 40 sec loop and select “upload as ringtone”.
done.
or google "iphone mp3 to ringtone"
I’ve got some program that works very well.

yea I kinda wish I could've gone
since I’ve never been to Whirlaway, but then KtG’s friend paid for our table’s bill so I was like, well I’ll take that.
I wish I got a picture of puppet trying to wrestle the check away from a 6ft tall guy. I was too busy laughing – it was hilarious.

I had a secret...
…ok I told some of you after the fact at the bar but, uh, people were drunk. I was listening to WGN radio and wanted to keep listening when I got to Whirlaway in the 3rd (especially since I couldn’t see well), so I kept one ear bud in. Then I realized radio was about 5 seconds ahead of NBC…so I knew when Philly tied it late.
And I knew before ANYONE ELSE AT THE BAR that the Hawks had won the Cup! But I kept quiet. Okay, I was in shock and hurrying to get my camera ready for a reaction shot. But man, that was fun!

that's way more than I could've handled.

Heh, I seriously debated turning it off for OT, but wanted time to get my camera ready, so I kept listening. It’s less that I did the right thing by not reacting and more that I just didn’t fully realize IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

Been celebrating since the Hawks won
Just now got home and I drove home drunk, but I didn’t care even if I got pulled over and got a DUI, because we just won the cup.
I love you guys. I love Chicago. I love Hossa, I love Kane, I love Toews, I love Niemi, I love Ladd, Burish, Madden, Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, and anybody else I’m drunkenly forgetting. I love all the support we’ve gotten from fellow hockey fans and all the people who doubted the Hawks.
I love Toews and I love that he gave Hossa the cup as soon as he got his moment with it. What a leader. We only have at least 5 more years with these guys.
I love you Chicago! Nothing could ruin this moment. Nothing. This is the epitome of perfect!
This is the greatest night of my life.
I suppose getting married and having kids MIGHT be better but I can’t even imagine. I was down in Wrigleyville and it was EPIC. Got to go by the UC and Michigan Avenue and I doubt it is possible to have more fun. Also, it has been a true honor to chat with all of you guys on this blog for many years who have helped me off the ledge time and time again. This is truly incredible and a dream come true.

I remember visiting Chicago in 2007
Sports stores were filled with Cubs and some White Sox gear. The Bears had a decent amount of merch, and the Bulls were somewhat represented. And you could find Hawks jerseys scarce and piled in the corner, next to the MLS gear. This was three years ago.
Now, we have red and black stretching on the streets of downtown Chicago. This….is something big. A fanbase has awoken and re-energized like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
I can only hope it’s not long before my team sees this kind of joy. These last six years have been just about as bad as I imagine 1997-2008 was for you guys.

something a little more light-hearted
From the Trib:
The long, arduous, intensely competitive journey ended here.
The Blackhawks’ Mario Kart season is over.
One final tournament — featuring a popular Wii video game in which opponents go-kart race each other —concluded Tuesday night as the Hawks closed their last road trip of the year with their most cherished tradition away from home.
And how Swede it was.
“Hjalmarsson won it,” said Hawks forward Patrick Sharp, referring to young defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. “He’s the champ. I came in second. Hammer is in a league of his own, so I like to think that I won the title.”
About a dozen Hawks regularly played the game, even going so far as to create their own ranking system based on performance.
“We just continue on and be nerds like that,” winger Troy Brouwer said.
Brouwer finished third in the race for the title that, really, was predestined to be Hjalmarsson’s all along.
“He’s a pretty good driver, that’s for sure,” Brouwer said. "I don’t know what it is. He might just sit at home playing by himself.
“He has a gift. And his gift is Mario Kart.”
Well, yes, that, and blocking shots like he was born for it. It’s just come to my attention that we’ve been backing the gamerz frat all season. How did this happen?

Wow.
I checked it out after reading your post and had to really try to stop myself from commenting on there, but holy shit! What a bunch of asswipes. St. Louis is the asshole of the world and it seems like it’ll stay like that for a while.
It’s especially hilarious when one of the guys called Toews “Taves” and was questioning what he had done to earn the MVP of the playoffs. How about getting 29 points in 22 games, tied for a franchise record, and shattering the playoff points streak record? Not only that, but he won the fucking Gold medal with Canada and was voted the best forward of the tournament, which while it has no bearing on his new piece of hardware, should show you how ridiculously amazing of a player he is. It’s so obvious how little hockey knowledge there is in shit town St. Louis.
hey ... just keep in mind that the only Blues chant for the last several weeks
has been “sink that putt!”
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I'm looking forward to...

He scored the first goal in the 6-5 comeback against Calgary and that is something I will NEVER forget. He has taught the rest of the guys how to be responsible, handle pressure, and keep their head in the game regardless of what happens.
Thank you, John Madden. You will always be a hero in Chicago, and while you may not get much attention, the real fans will see your impact on this team for years to come.
He was nails the first 3 months
seemed to tire out a bit after that but thanks for the service Mad Dog.

CONGRATS HAWKS AND HAWKS FANS
Now the true conundrum, what number are YOU giving Obama? We(Pittsburgh) retired Orpik for a day and gave him 44…Enjoy your summer Chi-town.
I wish I had the perseverence you had
I can admit it now, I only lasted one week with the full PB, I couldn’t take it…then I switched to a goatee.
I’m still laughing at the term “Pedobear”…don’t know if you came up with that yourself, or what…but that is hilarious.

…………………………….no more watchin the "Hawks " kick ass………….Thank you, Dale Tallon

Congrats
Enjoy it Hawks fans. You were clearly the better team. Great series, disappointing ending.
JR is an absolute man. Felt awful for him as he cried, but it was amazing to see how much that cup means.
Congrats from Washington
Hey, guys – just wanted to step into the mania and wish you and your team a great big congrats!! If my Caps had to choke in their usual, heart-wrenching way, I’m glad I could at least watch my favorite Western Conference team take the Cup…
Enjoy this! Savor it, celebrate it and have a blast during what should be an amazing summer. You should all be really proud of your team today :)
never thought i'd see the day......
Congrats Hawks. Excellent year! Excellent Playoffs! Excellent WIN

Unreal
Everyone has their Hawks story and I love them all on a day like this. I remember getting sent to bed after the first period of Hawks games as a kid (when they were on the road of course) and then listening to the rest of the game with Pat Foley on my walkman in bed. My mom could never figure out why a 6th grader was so tired. This is the greatest day ever. Ramblings of a drunk fan who is stuck at work. HELL YES!

a HUGE thank you to everyone at SCH ...
I didn’t find this place until the Vancouver series. Each and everyone one of you guys gave me depth in my hockey knowledge, made me laugh on a daily basis, and gave me things to chew on during the tension between games. Sincerely, thank you. What a rich, amazing fan base.
I WENT STREAKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
Right fter they hoisted the cup. What a great year, up here in Wisco, not many people were going nuts, so we decided to take to the car, blast the dagger, and wave jerseys out the windows all night. Can no longer talk. HAWKS WIN HAWKS WIN HAWKS WIN!!!!!
Bobby Hull
Had the best interview after the game. He said that this meant more to him than the 61 Cup. If anyone has the vid, you should post it. It’s very touching.
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?
It's Irish for "you're fucked".

SCHEDULES RELEASED IN 13 DAYS
I am so psyched for more hockey already- we’ll find out when they hang that BANNERMAN!
You must have me confused with someone else, I have never been to Chicago.
[whispers] I sexually assaulted Scottie Pippen in 1997.
I'm sure it will be posted here but I really want to know when that is happening.
I may make the trip to Chicago for that game.
Seriously – just have to sell it to my wife! LoL
I suppose before I try that, I should get out of Afghanistan first though.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
I think there were times when hanging Bannerman would have been a popular idea
Confusion will be my epitaph.
YEAH HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He should be suspended. That is a flat-out, absolute disgrace to the umpiring profession, what this guy has been doing. West doesn’t care. -Hawk
Because he’s a f—-ing a—hole, that’s what he is. - Ozzie
