Why I told you exactly what would happen. It did. Funny all Habs fans went area 51 from game one on.

Good luck with the Hawks. You are going to need it. That said I cant make a prediction till after game one. There are multiple factors at play and I dont think until game one anyone can trully give a lock.

Sort of like the big talkin' Canucks fans did, only chiming in after a win.

Richards shorthanded goal was something to see. Asham was playing possessed with the puck following him everywhere. Carter and Laperriere back and looking good. Flyers are a good team, and anyone annointing the Hawks as champs already need to wait and see how the first couple games play out. Niemi will have to stay hot, and the Hawks D will need to contain Briere and Giroux. Should be awesome hockey....Lets Go Hawks!

And why the f*** are we waiting until Saturday???

So NBC gets a shot at televising the games, instead of VS. Just a guess on my part. Hockey fans will watch no matter what network broadcasts the game.

Looks like NBC is broadcasting a couple weeknight games, so I am still confused as to why wait until Saturday, Jeff.

LOL! Hockey is still our game. If Buttman wasn't an ass, there would be more than 6 Canadian teams (you do know that the 6 Canadian teams generate over half the leagues revenue right?) and the cup would not be out of the holy land for near on two decades

From my perspective, I'm rooting for Hossa to lose again, and I LOVE the way Richards plays. Now that's a hockey player !! No heart transplant needed here (ARE YOU LISTENING JOE ? PATRICK? ...)

Dog out !!

ps. Go Philli!!

Missed where anyone said hockey wasn't Canada's game...that doesn't mean that some of its biggest fans aren't in the States though.

4 of the Original 6 were from the States, but I would love to see cities like Winnipeg or Hamilton with a team.

Richard does play great, no doubt. But if I had to choose a captain to lead my team right now, I would go with Jonathan Toews without hesitation....and from the Canadian poll I saw earlier in the year, most of your fellow Canadian citizens agree with me.

Hog out !!

ps. Go BHawks!!

Wow...that's quite a statement. I admit to not seeing nearly as many Blackhawk games as Flyers games, but I can't imagine a player leading his team much better than Richards has recently. Power play, penalty kill (some say the best penalty killer in the NHL), even strength, defending teamates, checking, hitting...the list goes on. But, I'm sure it's a homer bias on both sides.

Probably so, Joel....but I know Toews is quite revered in Canada after his Olympic performance. That being said, I would love Richards in the Red and Black without a doubt. But I absolutely do stand by my statement.
