NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[aparch]

This would be interesting to do for all the D-1 NC$$ schools:

Detroit Red Wings:

1. Chicago Blackhawks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*inhale*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Not ever. Well, maybe in the '50s and '60s. This wasn't even a rivalry in the 2010s when the Hawks were on their three Cup run.

Are the new generation of Wings fans really buying that sh*t? I'm pretty sure the Bruins are a bigger rival than the Blackhawks are.

I'm not even sure why Tampa would also be considered a rival. Other than Stevie going to run them for a while, who even cares about Tampa from here- other than it being a great place to see a hockey game?

One other consideration- Toronto was chosen for the game at The Big House for a reason.

I will not be upset if they hire Trotz because I do believe he is a good coach.

I appreciate the insight as well. Yeah, Trotz wouldn't be a bad pick, and does seem very loyal if you treat him right which bodes well for the rebuild.

I've since seen four or five other lists; the Blackhawks are on all of them.

But it doesn't matter; the interesting idea is a list by fans. If you're right then fine the list will correct. Like a Republican would say, just pick the right voters.

Maybe it is my age showing, but despite the move to the East, I still see the Avs as a rival. I'm old enough to remember when the list was 1) Claude Lemieux 2) Patrick Roy 3) Colorado Avalanche

Tampa Bay is a toss up. Seeing as Stevie came home, there isn't any reason to be a rival.

The Blackhawks, I dont see as a rival. They always had Jan Brady / Little Brother syndrome, especially in the '90s and '00s when they couldn't win for sh*t and their fans kept starting "Detroit Sucks" chants. Thanks Jeremy Piven. That was weird to hear when I first moved to Chicago in 2006, because it's like "have you seen your own team?" And the sunset of the Wings era coincided with the rise of the Hawks. (Still bitter over Kronwall deflecting the 2013 GM7 GWG in; that's how I knew the Wings were done for a decade.) Hawks fans kept on with the "Detroit sucks!" and it's like "we know, we're old and Kenny Holland ain't helping anymore (or ever (stares at Jim Nill leaving when it should have been Holland)).





As for college hockey, this *absolutely* needs to be done and would be such a fun piece.

Too bad no one else has shown up.

Habs won the draft lottery.

Now that the Wild season is over we can look to 2024 and beyond. Because we know 2023 is going to suck.

Cap pain is going through 2025...so it's more like looking forward to 2027.

Chicago might be a couple miles closer, but Toronto brings the fans.

Habs won the draft lottery.

What a coincidence that they're hosting the draft as well.

Too bad no one else has shown up.

As someone noted at GPL the Wild have 4 goals in their 3 losses…and KK has 3 of those.

The Minnesota sports team Minnesota sportsed all over the place and then slipped and fell in it.
