      STANLEY CUP QUESTION: I was watching a live stream of the rally/parade in Chicago. Before the Blackhawks were introduced, many Rockford members were introduced including Skille & Dowell. Were they just included as team members or will they be engraved on The Cup?

      The estimated crowd was over 2 million people! Holy ****!!

      I know...ugh, those losers should take responsibility for ignorant postings.

      2 million???? yikes. looks like no-one went to work today down here

        Reminds me of a very memorable rant that a Cubs manager once had about Cubs fans.

        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                and you know, honestly, I think the Badgers will be fine even having to almost completely retool the team.
                The Badgers have had turnover like this many times in the past (its a huge part of college sports) and have managed to bounce back and still put a pretty good product out on the ice, so Im not all that worried about it.
                Granted, it will likely be pretty ugly at the start of the season but I have confidence that Eaves and the rest of the coaching staff will work with and improve what players they have and the Badgers will be a pretty respectable team by the 2nd half of the season. I definetly dont expect them to contend for the national championship and honestly dont expect them to make the Frozen Four next season, but Im not all gloom and doom like some of you seem to be.
                Then again, maybe thats just be being a fan and looking at things through rose-colored glasses...

Nobody else in the country had five guys that talented, and they lose all five of them at once, along with four other seniors who were all contributing players, all playing at least 28 games.
                  Don't forget, the Badgers also lost both assistant coaches as well.

                        They were announced because they were on the expanded playoff roster. They could have been used if needed, but weren't. The defenseman Boynton was in the same boat, but they activated him for Hendry and he will get his name on the Cup.

                        It's good for those two to get to be there for all of this and with the upcoming salary purge that will be needed, it's quite possible that one or both of them will be on the roster next season.

                          Skille's salary is the biggest reason he didn't see more time this season. I don't expect him to be back.

                            Skille won't get much of a raise at all (made $850k last year), is still getting better IMO, and is a better option at around $1MM than they could bring in from the outside. I think he'll step into the role a guy like Brouwer had. Hopefully he continues to develop and after a few years under his new contract (not sure what the minimums are for a 2nd deal) the Hawks will have to decide whether to keep him or pay him bigger bucks like they are now facing with Brouwer.

                              He actually made 1,275,000, and when you're in such a predicament such as the Hawks are (already 4 mil over the cap with only 14 players under contract), Skille is increasingly expendable. Especially when Niemi hasn't even been re-signed and you're already over the cap.

                              Skille is not going to get less than he got this year from a team, and the Hawks can't afford a guy making over 1.3 to play fourth line RW.

                              I don't see Skille back unless he takes a significant pay cut.

                                Yes, counting his bonus.

                                Thanks for the salary cap and math lesson.

                                I repeat: who are they going to get that will make less than Skille and do as good of a job as he can (who also still has more upside than he's shown). I'm guessing Burish will be back for close to the minimum, but you can't have 3-4-5 guys of Bur's caliber on the team. Even Dowell would be a better overall player than Burish, but still doesn't have near the offensive ability or upside of Skille (let alone Brouwer, Versteeg, Buff, Ladd...).
