Restore the Roar
- It had been great when the Blackhawks found their way from medieval times onto TV. It had been great when Hull and Esposito and Mikita were invited back. It had been great when President John McDonough reached out to fans in so many ways that you were sure he strained a few muscles.
But there is no greater marketing strategy than winning.
The idea Thursday night was that while the Hawks were in the playoffs, they might as well take advantage of the situation. Make themselves comfortable. Stay awhile in this best-of-seven series.

I'm finally becoming interested in Hockey again after many years.
DUDE, remember the roar. I was roaring at he bar. Fuck the city and the rules! Hawks are up 1-0. Fuck jody, I am a citizen and can have a few drinks. and can enjoy a Hawks victory on my day off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 seconds into sudden death overtime, effen ay Havlat !
the hawks stole a game they had no business winning. khabibulin was the difference as well as a ferocious forecheck and backcheck. mike keenan, your table is ready in the losers lounge. the flames are a good team with great talent on both sides of the puck, but if khabibulin keeps standing on his head, this thing might be wrapped up in calgary on wed.
It's about fuckin' time !! I think that this team is for real . I've been a Hawk fan for many many many years and I don't think that I've ever been as excited about the Playoffs as right now . They actually have a chance to win it all . Go Hawks !!!!!!!!!!!
The Great Wall of Khabi...!!!!!!!
I'm hooked!...... after 10 years away from watching (attending)games. LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!!
the last time the Hawks were in the Stanley Cup finals and lost, the next day I was at the Palace grill across fro 911 center (before it was completed) I sat next to Mike Keenan and ate breakfast, he was classy Bill Wirtrz is the reason they never went anywhere, Thank you Rocky and McDonough for bringing back the roar!!!!!!!!
There's nothing better than playoff hockey. For those who are oblivious or think hockey is too complicated, you're missing out on the greatest sport in the world.
GO HAWKS!!!
1 down, 15 to go.
Lou Angotti Rules !

THATS BULLSHIT. THE HAWKS DIDNT STEAL THE GAME. KHABBY WAS GREAT.HAWKS PLAYED GOOD FIRST PERIOD.WERE GOOD IN SECOND HALF OF SECOND PERIOD WHEN THEY BEGAN CHECKING AND TAKING CONTROL OF THE PUCK.PRETTY DECENT ON BOTH SIDES THIRD PERIOD.LOW AMOUNT OF S.O.G. FROM BOTH TEAMS.HAVLAT HAS BEEN THE HAWKS BEST PLAYER THIS SEASON.THEY'RE GONNA GO FARTHER THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT.
I LOVE THIS GAME.
Go Hawks.
Chicago has a hockey team?
Blackhawks vs. Pens in a 1992 rematch for Lord Stanley! This time it's our turn!
Again, best of luck to the Blackhawks.
Flyers are down in the series against Pittsburgh 2-0. I haven't completely given up hope, but I'm slowly getting there.
Being a Philadelphia fan, I should be used to the disappointment by now. *sigh*
From a citizen troller: I was watching the game last night thinking about all the Bill Wirtz years. Yeah, I bashed him for the last decade or so just like everyone else. Like the Wrigleys and then the Trib ruined baseball, he ruined the hockey franchise in this city. But as I sat down for the game, another sell out, I was thinking about Bill. He didn't plan it but fate did. When he died, Rocky took over and things changed to what they are now. And I now have to think that in the end, Bill Wirtz DID do something good for hockey in this town. He showed Rocky the way.
If the whole 'sponsor' program is a wash how about letting citizens buy a ride along? We could break it down by half hour incriments. Say $30 a half hour or a package deal of wear a vest, carry a radio and even issue a ticket or two for $120: this would be a four hour adventure.
I think people would jump on this and we could generate more funds to help the department. We could increase the amounts for faster districts or ones that have better eye candy/restaurants.
I'm just tring to give the mayor viable options. It's more public venues he can rent, lease or sell outright. I know what yoou're thinking; "what about the liability issues?" That's the beauty of it. The mayor can have participants sign a waiver in which he can tax them on. It's brilliant! Just trying to do my part.
doesn't that fat, dopey guy in area 2 who never shuts up still play hockey?
Blackhawks SUCK...
Kyle Orton
Yeah, right Kyle , Hawks do suck, we're much better, Rex Grossman
