I just wanna say off the top that I have loved the discussions that I’ve had with hawks fans on this site. It has been trying times in Chicago for awhile and everyone has given their two cents on solutions, but try as we must, our ideas never line up with the logic this messed up front office chose. Unfortunately, those choices are going to be felt and paid for the better part of the next decade.
Off the ice, though, today changed everything. People were finally held accountable for the disgraceful actions that were swept under the rug for 11 years. Bowman, McIssac, and others are all rightfully gone. However, the organization, the NHL, the NHLPA, and hockey in general will never be the same. Integrity was completely ignored for the sake of success. The dynasty is forever tainted. In all honesty, the relief and pride I felt in the report finally coming out eventually turned to more pain and misery. I’ve loved this team for so long and never felt “ashamed” of them like this. They’ve gutted me to my core.
As such, I again thank all of you hawks fans for such a great open discussion about where we need to go in the future. However, I’m done with this team. My fandom can’t take the depths with which they have sunk. Many will say and organization is bigger than a few people, but this proved that logic wrong. This was all about protecting a few to save the whole. I’m sorry if this pisses anyone off, and even more if no one even cares, but just wanted to thank you all for the good times. Take care and save me a Guinness by the fire. Cheers.
