A lot of people here don't understand the psyche of a sports fan. People boo, it happens all the time.

It's called poor sportsmanship. Boo all you want during the game, but once it is decided, man up and applaud the opposing team if they win fair and square.

You haven't been to Philly, have you? It's blue collar fans who don't give a dam about feelings and chivalry. They will tell you what's on their mind, always have always will.

Just because a person is blue collar does not entitle him to be an ass.
 
I thought it was pretty clear they were booing Betteman. They cheered the Hawks, but booed whenever Betteman was trying to talk.

Roenick is awesome!!! That shit makes me want to cry.

Roenick says "Chicago Blackhawks man, I didn't get a chance to do that" as you can see his eyes tearing up.

That's exactly why we play the game. Why we compete. I love it.

You get mad at fans for booing the opposing team, and yet you like an announcer who cries? LOL@YOU

What does that even mean?

Jeremy Roenick was crying after chicago won because he "never got to hold the cup" -- basically being a complete douche bag. I questioned Cuda's judgement for being ok with that and not ok with fans booing an opposing team.
 
Don't mind Cuda. He couldn't even spell his captains name correctly. How dare you spell the name of the best hawk incorrectly.

*shakes fist in anger*
 
Congrats to the Flyers fans on a great series. The Flyers were a solid team and made Chicago earn the right to lift the cup. Too bad we don't see you guys too often in the regular season, a nice rivalry would develop from this series.
 
In humble honor of my Hawks actually winning the finals I revisited this entire thread. Who knows when it'll happen again? I have to soak this in. I'm sure 1961 Hawks fans figured it would happen often.

Lots of good stuff; I especially enjoyed the debate on Crosby.

And the post of the thread is.....

----drumroll-----

"Wow 2-0 with 13:59 left to go for that game??? May as well switch to Flyers/Bruins, it's gonna be a blowout. I've been saying that Chicago = overrated anyway."

It's been fun 🙂

(I can't belive how much if a lurker I was; I didn't post until page 30, and then only a few times)
 
Great end to an amazing playoff series. Close matches made for some very entertaining and edge-of-your-seat games. Way to go Hawks! Glad to see the cup back in Chicago!
 
Well there's talk that Leighton may not be back next year for Philly.

The Flyers' goaltending, a historic bugaboo for the franchise, was a compelling storyline, with Leighton coming in during the Boston series in place of the injured Brian Boucher and helping to guide the Flyers to a historic comeback from a 3-0 series deficit.

But as the Cup finals went along, Leighton was pulled twice, and allowed a weak goal by Patrick Sharp in Game 6 and the series-clinching goal by Kane from a bad angle. It will frankly be a shock if Leighton returns to the Flyers next season.

"I think we all feel bad for Michael," Briere said. "He's had a tremendous run through the playoffs. It's sad that it ends up on a fluky goal like that. I think it's going to sting all of us for a long time. I think we all feel responsible to some degree for losing that game."

I don't see how you can point to a couple of bad games and one bad goal as a reason for getting rid of him. The guy was thrust into the highest level of pressure after playing not even 20 games on the bench and still posted 2 shutouts vs Montreal, something the Pens and Caps couldn't even do once. I'm hoping the guy is back and better than ever next year (and Boucher finally retires!).
