Ok, people, we have lots of Best and Worst ideas to vote on. Only problem is, I've discovered that SB Nation only allows 1 poll per fanpost. So I think I'll look into doing a Survey Monkey or other free survey once we decide on our nominees. But we need to get our nominees first - I'm going to leave space for 5 in each category, but we can do more/less if necessary. HOF = Hall of Fame, or playoff nominees
Alright, now the categories after the jump...

If you have other categories to add, speak up! Once we have nominees for the categories, I'll make a survey. Or if someone else wants to help, let me know. Oh, and try to keep the nominees in the same comment string. Shinkicker started them below...thanks, Shin!!
PS - Try and include links where possible!

indeed
we had a few sick goals that could win this award, but I’ve never seen anything like this before. And in context? Holy crap.
Our Cup.
this is #1 to me
it was def a “OMG and this guy is ours!” moment.
add the fact that Kaner would practice it and I think it’s the winner
Not all those who wander are lost.
my Captain is better than your Captain
Hossa's goal against tampa bay was sweet
it took a lot of skill to whack the puck out of mid air, but I always thought that goal was a bit overrated. It’s top 5 for sure, but Hoss just knocked it on goal and it found a hole. The fact that the shot went in was pretty lucky.
Ditto for Badgerdano
Maybe overrated
I like so many of the goals, but this was the one that said “Yes, this is the guy we waited for, and this is what we’re gonna get.” So to me, it’s a bit of a sentimental issue also.

But really, the SCF winner - while not a spectacular example of goal-scoring - is the one that nobody will ever forget.
Maybe we elevate that one to a special status?

My 16 y/o nephew and I screamed, ran towards each other, and did one of those jumping up and down hugs.
He then looked at me and said. “I can’t believe I just screamed like a little girl”. This goal is one of my favorites too.

Yeah, any time a player like Hossa can simply stand next to the net unnoticed and put the puck into an empty net…you’ve done a pretty good job of faking everyone out and getting him that puck – which Tazer did.

I respectfully nominate Versteeg in Game 2 against the Sharks
with bonus Rosenbloom prose:
The high-wire act that is Kris Versteeg was right there for you in the first period. The speedy, shifty Hawks winger lost the puck at his own blue line and nearly gave up a 2-on-none break. But Versteeg hustled back to get the puck to Duncan Keith, who moved it up to Ladd at center. Seemingly stood up inside the Sharks’ blue line, Ladd used Niclas Wallin as a screen and snapped a shot top shelf over Evgeni Nabokov’s glove. From near disaster to 1-0, Hawks. That’s your Kris Versteeg Experience.

I think he had
the fear of the Q-stache giving him some extra speed/motivation. I’ve never seen a guy get up so fast and back into the play after falling down. He could give Kop lessons.

It was
but on the NHL video site he linked to, it says it was on Richards. Also, a great deal of credit goes to Campbell on that play for getting his stick on Carter’s so the shot couldn’t go up high; Niemi made a good save, but if soupy wasn’t there we’d’ve probably gone to 7 games.

I’m pretty sure he leveled Erat, the same guy who blew that game for Nash when he blindly put the puck into the slot when they needed to run out the clock.

good question!
But it’s the Hawks. We’re a soft team remember?

that's true
but according to hockeyfights we had 36 fights this year! I didn’t remember most of them. Just Ladd/Kesler, as well as Versteeg/Eaves, I think it was.
I'm sure Eager had a couple too
Brouwer vs Iginla was another one.
And Versteeg tried to go for Mitchell after the hit on Toews… although he just reminded me of Scrappy-Doo.

In Columbus
Brouwer beat the soul out of the poor bastard who went knee to knee with Kaner. The Columbus broadcast is hilarious, it’s like they were witnessing a murder.

Not a best fight, but most fight-filled game that I can remember
was Jan 2nd against the Blues.
Eager had 2 fights, including one after Jackman gave Kane an open-ice forearm to the face and Keith got flattened and one after Janssen tried to cheap-shot Sopel, Barker had a minor fight after Sharp got completely destroyed by an open ice hit by Weaver, Fraser had a fight after Janssen tried to fight Sopel and Hendry, lots of scraps, and even Captain Serious got into a fight with Backes. Visor fight.
If my math is correct, there were 105 mins of penalties in that game. Janssen was flying all over the ice trying to cheap-shot anyone he could find and Jackman wasn’t much better. I can’t remember hating a team much more in recent years than I hated the Blues after that game. What a useless embarrassment of a team.

The thing is
I actually kind of like Oshie, Halak, Johnson & a few others on their team, & I like their logo, too. They’ve got a not bad young base to start building a good team around, but their fans & the rest of their players seem to be trying their utmost to be the asswipes of the League (which is saying something in a league with Detroit fans).
I was looking for that one, thanks
I couldn’t remember which game it was. Good choice.
Hey, did anyone notice GhostSoldier had a comment on YouTube (highest rated, it’s at the top). Does anyone know what happened to him? I remember that suddenly one day his username on all of his comments were in gray and you couldn’t click on it. Did he quit? Was he someone’s sockpuppet?

ah yea I remember him
he was our resident babysitter too. I think he closed/deleted his sbnation account, which is why it’s all gray. Unless he was someone’s sock puppet (verstig? is that you again?)
well he said he spent all last year in Afghanistan
so maybe he’s been deployed again to somewhere where he can’t be online regularly (or at all). at least, i hope that’s all it is.

Do we have a category for weird-ass shit that's happened to the team?
there’s the time when Niemi’s pants swallowed the puck, and then there’s Versteeg sitting in for Bolland’s penalty.
We may not have enough for separate regular season and postseason sub-categories, but.
(Tweets @ChiBlackhawks and blogs at Blackhawks Down Low.)
Limo pix
simply cannot be beat in that category.
In retrospect, that whole situation was a little bit like the Super Bowl Shuffle thing in ’85 for the Bears. A lot of outsiders thought both events were sure to result in calamity, but the teams seemed to realize that nothing could really stop the roll they were on and they were bound and determined to play it for all it was worth.
Our Cup.
we do,
I just forgot to add a comment down here. – FIXED!

The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
Updated, finally!
ok, so I’m going to issue a last call for nominees for all the categories. We’ve had lots of good stuff, let’s make sure it’s all on here! Then I will put together a survey for everyone to take once we finish the nominees.
Best goal / Most Hated Player
I am glad someone thought the Kane goal vs Minnesota was also a sick goal. I was watching the game with a couple of friends that aren’t big into hockey but they thought that was amazing. Since we are voting on best’s or worst’s I would like to contribute most hated player. I live in the St. Louis area so I get to see the “Blows” quite often so I would like to contribute the three headed douche bag of Oshie, Jackman, and Janssen. I would like to hear people’s thoughts on who they hate.

I had 2 of Raoul’s 3 picks on my list.

If I am not mistaken....
Is it just me or did Steeger have one of the most epic celebrations when the Hawks beat Pittsburgh in O.T.??? I could have sworn he went over to the fan that was dressed up as Hulk Hogan and gave him the gun-show celebration and in return got the double bird from the Hulkster. Hey, I coulda been on a variety of uppers, downers, and a pint of ether, but if this never happened I will chalk this up as best hockey related delusion I have ever had.
"Make the bastard chase you, he will follow."
Thanks Katherine!
I was just curious as to who players my fellow posters hate the most. I can imagine Matt “Turd Burglar” Cooke being named, along with the likes of Patrick Kaleta, Steve Downie, Pronger, Holmstrom, and Jaarko Ruutu. As far as T.J. Oshie goes I think he is the new Niklas Kronwall in the N.H.L. I did not have a problem with him until he got Dustin Brown from behind and proceeded to turtle when Jack Johnson went after him. All I can say is she will get what’s coming to her sooner or later.

is this a reply fail?
next time, make sure to use the “reply” button under the comment you’re responding too- that way, it keeps everything on the same thread & keeps our conversations understandable. ;)

Good luck with the move!
At least you are going to a city where hockey isn’t totally foreign like Columbus or Phoenix.

If I am not in Florida (Job thing) I will be at MSG on Nov. 1
Even though we were at the same game at NYI last March, lets make it a point to let all know this time, since we did not realize this until well after the fact.

I was thinking we could try to get a group outing & buy a block of tickets.
I know someone mentioned it before, but I haven’t heard anything since then.
