Apologies to the rest of NHL fandom that the Predators couldn't prevent this horrific end to the season. Shithawks win again. What a waste.

As a Blues fan I have been ready for next season and the changes to be made in the off going back to the final seconds of game six against the Wild. Only reason I hate that the Hawks won is because I will have to hear "6 cups, 6 cups we can drink you can't" and when I respond with the Blues cup drought is just about as long as the Hawks before they won in 2010 I then have to hear "original 6" repeated over and over. When I try to tell the person that the Hawks are not one of the original 6 teams, and that they came in when the league expanded from 6 teams to 10 and are whats left of them 10 teams I get a response of " you." After that I'm usually told that Blues fans can't sellout their arena. That's because hockey isn't that big hear. I hate to say that, but it's not. It sells out near the end of the season unless the Cardinals are playing, then only the playoff games are sold out. If it's announced that the game sold out chances are there will be a lot of empty seats. So not selling out the arena I will agree with, but when against some teams and the Hawks are one they will sellout. Even without half the attendance being Hawks fans. In fact a lot of Blues fans sell their tickets for 2 or 3 times the ticket price for games against the Hawks because they know Hawks fans will pay it. Also they don't want to deal with dickhead fans and hear the BS that I have just posted about. It is those fans that make me wish Tampa would have taken it to game 7 and won. Otherwise I couldn't care less. I just don't want to hear the fans during Blues and Hawks games the 2 or 3 times they will play in St. Louis next season.Rest of the NHL fandom don't need apologies.

I even seen some classy Red Wings and Blues fans too. Sure, they are our rivals and hate that we won, but they don't dwell on it and are ready for next season. In fact, Preds fans have been the worst of the bunch on the reddit game threads. Most of them still bitching about a a bad call when their team stumbled and fumbled into the playoffs and were supposed to just be handed the Stanley Cup or something?
You sure are proving your point that Hawks fans are the bane of existance and Preds fans are sooo much better...
Keep being salty...I have a parade to attend!
Why take the high road when you can be a sore winner and rub it in, right? Speaking of salty, why don't you try my nuts?Rest of the NHL fandom don't need apologies. Here is the Flyers subreddit. Here's a classy Tampa Bay fan.

That guy has had a lot of struggles personally as well as fighting his way up the ranks all the way to the NHL so he's a true sports hero in my book.Scott Darling is from Lemont which is literally a town over from where I live and where I go to work. I'm hoping he brings the cup there or something. Loved seeing him do well, he has a pretty amazing story.
Parade is scheduled for Thursday, I'm definitely going. I've been to all three and its always insane, crowded, hot...but oh so fun. I may just stand on the side of the route where it's a little less crowded this time and try to get some different pictures. Gotta get a picture with the cup this year too, I kept getting screwed in 2013 and missed my only chances.
Being a sore loser is so much better.Why take the high road when you can be a sore winner and rub it in, right?
...ah, never mind, you must be 13 years old. You still have some growing up to do.Speaking of salty, why don't you try my nuts?
Yep, couldn't agree more. I'm honestly really happy with the way things turned out and that he actually got to play some games against the Preds. He had some great games in the regular season and I had faith in him when Crawford was going through his struggles.That guy has had a lot of struggles personally as well as fighting his way up the ranks all the way to the NHL so he's a true sports hero in my book.
It sounds like you just had some bad experiences with some assholes. I truly think every fanbase is about the same - for every one dick fan you have around 3 great fans. It may seem like the Hawks are the worst, but they also have the biggest fanbase right now thanks to their success, so math alone would mean that there will be more dicks.As a Blues fan I have been ready for next season and the changes to be made in the off going back to the final seconds of game six against the Wild.

I hope that I never offended you in any way, and if I did, I'm sorry.
The Blues are rivals of the Hawks, I really don't care for them, but I do hope they win one for you one day (preferably when the Hawks have a bad season or something ). You sound like a real passionate hockey fan and I'm assuming you go to a lot of games (?) it's the dedicated guys and girls like you that deserve it.
Haha, ok, guy. Don't question somebody's maturity when you use the dudebro language of calling people "salty". You're not as enlightened as you think you are....ah, never mind, you must be 13 years old. You still have some growing up to do.
I'm not the one insulting other members on this thread. I KNOW how grateful I should be that I'm still under 25 and have seen my team win the cup three times. The NHL playoffs are an emotional gauntlet full of ups and downs and every good, true hockey fan deserves to see their team come ahead at least once. They all deserve to see their team lift the cup. I truly hope everyone on this thread gets to see it at some point.
You painted me as a "bad" fan the moment you seen that I was a Blackhawks fan and, honestly, you should really take a good look at yourself before insulting other teams fans.
It's just a word. Jealous. Sore loser. Cry baby. It's all the same. Does it matter? Does it really?Haha, ok, guy. Don't question somebody's maturity when you use the dudebro language of calling people "salty". You're not as enlightened as you think you are.
I'm only able to go because the prices aren't outrageously high. At least not on StubHub.com and SeatGeek.com, well depending on the game they're not. My 12 pack last year was a first for me. I spent more than I should have. For the 15-16 season I bought another one, but moved the seat to nose bleed. I'm hoping I can get a price breaker seat. Before fees and taxes my pack is only going to be 444 dollars. I pay that over 10 months so it's not as bad. I park for free and take the Metro Link train to the game and that's only 5 bucks round trip. If the price wasn't that low or if I had a family I wouldn't be buying the pack.At least you get to go to a good number of games, can't beat that.
I wish I could go to more games but every game costs an arm and a leg now. I don't envy the days where we had a useless owner and the team sucked but at least tickets weren't so expensive...
I got home from the parade a few hours ago and I've been to all three now. Those are awesome because all it takes is $20 for parking and I at least get to see the cup and all that good stuff. It was actually held at Soldier Field (the Chicago Bears stadium) this year and it actually worked out incredibly well for me, had a fantastic view and everything.
The Hawks also have a pre-season practice thing where tickets are like $5 and seats are general admission so I go to that. I try to go to at least a few games a year but, again, it gets pricey pretty quick.
I'm hoping I can go to St. Louis or Minny next year for a game, not necessarily a Hawks game, but just to check out some different teams and stadiums. I've never been to either.
I'm sick of Toews and Kane on the cover, they have already been on it...If I had an Xbox One or PS4 and EA put back everything that they took out when 15 was released I would have to get a new cover for that. It just looks bad. I'm not even saying that because I'm a Blues fan. I think they could have put a better photo on the cover. Hell they could have had them come in to EA's studio and take some photos, but they didn't. I read an interview with Towes about this cover. He said that they were called over after the Hawks won the cup. So the picture was taken at game 6, and the way I read it, it was one and done. They didn't know why, but after it was taken they figured it out. He also said something about wondering if fans were getting sick of them. All I have to say to that is that it's bad when even Hawks fans hate that cover.
As for the 3 on 3 I'd rather have what the AHL does, but I'm willing to give the 3 on 3 a chance.
I have seen 2 teems are in talks with Arizona for the 3rd overall. One is for a prospect and only a prospect because the prospect is that good. The other is for a player and a pick still in the top 10. Rumor I saw said that the team could be Columbus, and Columbus fits both of them offers. I didn't check to see if the Columbus part was true or not.I'm sick of Toews and Kane on the cover, they have already been on it...
Also my Avs just traded for Soderberg's rights! Bye Bye O'Reilly! Some rumors of the Avs packaging O'Reilly and the 10th pick for the Yotes number 3!! Big swing in the way the team is made up! Look out central division!
I think Boston got the better end of that deal. Especially if they're rebuilding. Lucic, with one year left till UFA, Martin Jones, defenceman Colin Miller and the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Boston has now the 13th, 14th and 15th overall picks today.
Boston is retaining half of Lucic's salary... YIKES! And it sounds like Boston is now trying to trade Martin or Subban for another pick. Highly likely that they go after the Yotes 3rd pick for hanafin or povorovBoston is going crazy today.
I like the Lucic trade but I'm still scratching my head about Dougie Hamilton.
Oh I know that, and the rockies jersey was based off the state flag. I don't like the coloring, and the yeti foot was a trademark forever, just like the mountain piping the jerseys had before switching to reebok. Not happy bout the changes. Makes me wonder what the new third/out door game jersey will look like.The C on the Avalanche jersey is a nod to the Colorado Rockies jerseys when they were there back in the mid 70's to early 80's.
I think its a nice touch, and probably should have been there from the start.
Well the hold up is Kessel is due a $4 million dollar bonus tonight at midnight. No team wants to pay that.Yeah, I don't see the Players Association letting that slide. How do you just terminate a contract?
I'm going to grab some popcorn and sit and watch this develop.
...and looks like the Leafs are really trying to move Phil Kessel. Rumors says they'll retain 2 million in salary.
Well then the hell with my idea. Not unless Carter requests to be traded. Some teams will trade a player that requests it, but I don't see LA doing that with Carter.Jeff Carter has the same decade plus long contract that Richards has. Won't be a UFA until 2022
The Leafs don't even want to pay that. Things could get interesting with him the longer this goes. I have heard a number of rumors as teams wanting him, but only a few are on his list. I think he can hand in a new list after he gets that bonus also. I had read some place that trading Saad now makes it so that any team can make him an offer. So I guess he's now a UFA. If that's true I'm sure a few teams that Chicago doesn't want him to go to will try to get him. I wouldn't be surprised if St. Louis ends up with Kessel or Saad. It all just depends on the Tarasenko signing.Well the hold up is Kessel is due a $4 million dollar bonus tonight at midnight. No team wants to pay that.
I don't think that is true but I'm not 100%. Either way, I don't see the Blue Jackets not signing him now. That would be a colossal screw up after giving up a guy like Dano.I had read some place that trading Saad now makes it so that any team can make him an offer. So I guess he's now a UFA. If that's true I'm sure a few teams that Chicago doesn't want him to go to will try to get him. I wouldn't be surprised if St. Louis ends up with Kessel or Saad. It all just depends on the Tarasenko signing.
It's not impossible. If a player really wants out a team might see it as the best course of action to trade them away rather than leave an unhappy player in the locker room. Kings went out of their way to trade Ryan Smyth to the Oilers a few years back when he requested it.Well then the hell with my idea. Not unless Carter requests to be traded. Some teams will trade a player that requests it, but I don't see LA doing that with Carter.
