Maybe utilize your resources to make sure your town doesn't look like a scene from Mad Max before wasting it on unfair ticket practices...lol

Priorities, Rahm....priorities

#BlackhawkTicketsMatter

Maybe if TB fans actually went to the game and cared instead of taking the money grab, it wouldn't be an issue..

Alright...trash talking aside..how about a little wager..Loser sends $100 to Steve for a Horse Rescue donation..Sound good?

Bob, I'll make a donation to Thoroughbred Retirement of Tampa http://www.tampatrot.org/ after the series, regardless of who wins.

I only bet Tom because I felt we had a decided advantage against the Rangers.

I know nothing about the Blackhawks, other than what I've seen in the last series.

That said, Crawford is shakier than Lundqvist, and they're not nearly as physical as the Rangers.

So, logic would seem to dictate that this will be a walk over for the Lightning - but as we all know - it's a different animal in the finals...

Perfectly confident in this team, and look forward to a hard-fought battle.

Crawford will be fine...He's won a Cup and has played outstanding other that Nashvile game..which was a looong time ago. It will be a fast series for sure and after the pounding from Anaheim, the Hawks will be able to play more open. Keys that make it Hawks in 6:

1) Coaching..Q gets nod over pretty much anyone you could throw out there.

2) Core D: The big 4 can play the Big minutes again without the physicality they got from Anaheim.

3) Been there, done that: Nice TB wins in MSG, but this is the Finals and Chicago has that intangible that won't let them lose 4 games.

4) 3rd and 4th lines: Triplets and Stamkos line awesome, but can't roll 3 and 4 as strongly.

How TB wins?

1) Special Teams: Chicago PP comes and goes in maddening fashion and although their PK is solid, TB has Stamkos and a great PP and Chicago loves taking Too Many Men on Ice penalties.

2) Injuries: Obvious, and Chicago could absorb any Forward, but if another D goes down, it would be a series changer.

Steve, trust me when I tell you - nobody gives two flying sh1ts whether a handful of brain-dead mutants show up here. There are already a ton of them who have realized what a sh1thole Chicago is and never went back. They're easy to recognize - they are the first ones to have an opinion about fan support for the local teams, yet have lived here for 20 years and have never supported any of them once.

easy on the shithole comment..tampa is the gary indiana of florida i know i live here..the tampa bay area is a dump..beaches are no good..gulf coast is much better..fishing golf ect farther south the better..its like bartow fla with a port..chicago has everything ..best resturants ,culture ,fine arts ,5 pro sports teams ..


that bieng said good luck in the finals..you will be shaking your head at the beatdown your going to get..

Most recognize hyperbole when they see it - sorry it missed you.

The 10 million people that visit here each year must be huge fans of dumpy, no good beaches. Apparently. Along with the 10's of thousands of Chicagoans that visit and then move here permanently.
