OT: Chicago

I am starting to hate all things Chicago almost as much as O$U.

Firstly, the Pistons had their little dynasty with back to back NBA championships while dominating Jordan and the Bulls, then they pulled off how many titles?

Then the Red Wings won their 4 Cups, and now the Blackhawks look to be on pace to trump that.

It was nice to see Lebron and Cleveland lose last night.

No ban.

Just sitting back like this as I read it...

OT: Chicago Kaner10

If it makes you feel any better, we'll have some cap casualties this summer. Most likely Patrick Sharp, Bryan Bickell and Chris Versteeg. We'll also dump our loaner players, i.e. Brad Richdards and Antoinne Vermette. Kimmo Timmonen will retire a champion.

All that does leaves us in a difficult position of only having Toews, Kane, Keith, Hossa, Saad, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, Terevainen, Kruger, Shaw....nevermind, I guess that's why Vegas already has us favorites to win it again in 2016 with 7:1 odds. Laughing

Looking forward to tomorrow's parade. I was at Wrigley Field last night for the pregame ceremony, then at Sluggers (a bar down the street) with the boys and the Cup later in the night. It will be a wild couple weeks here in Chicago, known as #cuptracker.

Teravainen is going to be a good one, and I would be happy to have Bickell. I could easily see them winning another Cup, if not more. With Schmaltz and Danault in the system, you should have a couple good, young centres ready to go in a few years.

The East sucks. I think it will be a 3 way battle for the Cup with Chicago/L.A./Anaheim for the next two years, then teams like Edmonton and Winnipeg will make the jump.

Detroit's last 3 playoff series loses all came to teams who went to the Finals, taking two of them to 7 games. But, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Edmonton and especially Buffalo are going to be loaded, following Chicago's mold.
