I genuinely cannot wait to watch the Blackhawks lose the draft lottery

imagine doing all this for finally get the fourth pick looooool

If they come in last place, they are promised a top 3 pick and the top 3 picks are all elite prospects...win win situation. And "genuinely" wanting to see a team fail says more about you then any team or anyone else

It would be pure poetry

Says the guy rooting for the team with a massive sexual abuse scandal that they swept under the rug...

yotes gonna be a legitime contender for the last place too, this is why i said the fourth pick

The people that swept it under the rug are gone and careers rightfully ruined, and I root for the players of a team...the actual ones that provide the entertainment not the front office (Head of HR, Coach Q, President, NHLPA in this case)

It's possible but our squad is looking worse then the yotes. Nonetheless, the top 3 are elite, the next 3 to 4 are franchise level players. Next year's draft is the deepest we've seen in a long time.

It seems fair, but a little nervous to see what our middle six centers look like after this lol

It worked out pretty well for you guys lol

People are allowed to have teams they dislike

People are allowed to do whatever you they want like hate other people, but doesn't mean that's a healthy approach to life

what are you, a hippie? lol

LMAO no, but passionately wanting to see others fail, especially when you don't even play for the team, does say more about that person then anything else. It's not like Colorado and Chicago have a rivalry going.

Canes wouldn’t give up a first or Necas for Toews. He’s over priced even at half retention for what he is now and they have no need for him.

Very easy PASS for the Rangers on the Kane rental.

Let’s look at both sides of this:

To be fair, hawks fans have all had to swallow a great deal of pride because of the scandal. Kane and toews have even gone on record to defend stan bowman the person, which is just baffling to me. Yes, they committed crimes covering this up and those people deserve their own pit in hell. However, to his point, he cheers the players and that is an important distinction. We don’t have to love the people who run the team to love the players that represent it. Me personally, I hate everyone involved with the team now. I represent the side that is so disgusted I lost my complete love for the team.

Now the other side. I don’t care what religion, politics, etc. a person believes in, nothing breaks human instinct and emotion. While I was always taught “hate” is a strong word, I recognize a few things in life that inspire such an emotion. Sports is quite possibly the most significant. I don’t care if someone wishes ill will on another, especially if that other deserves it. The hawks truly deserve it. They ruined people’s lives. Plain and simple. Wishing that Ill will is not a defect of the person wishing it, it’s a reflection of someone wishing for some decency and good in the world.

Just my opinion. Neither side is wrong. Just passionate and opinionated.

I'll never wish ill-will on anyone and while I sympathize with fans of the Blackhawks, I am steadfast in my position to root against that team as a result of their actions. Players (Toews & Kane) knew about it and did nothing. Moreover, I will never root for a team who tanks to win the draft lottery. Same was true for the Sabres in the McDavid sweepstakes. Is it the way to get back to winning? Yeah, but come on, it's a disservice to fans everywhere.
