Giordanos was operating outside of Illinois in the mid-to late 90s.

The beautiful part of Wirtz’s insane crusade?
In the late 90s / early 00's when NBC was broadcasting NHL games on weekends, the biggest crowds were the home games that were on TV. At one point I think it was 5 of the top 6 or 7 crowds EVER at the UC were from those televised games.
Fast forward to 03-04 or so, and…

Man, I love these insightful think pieces where someone decides that an entire brand has to suffer because some blogger-that-can’t-get-an-actual job is offended
Y’know, chick fil-a, wal mart, now papa johns.
Not only is it presumptuous to think that I’m gullible enough to be swayed by your (not my affiliation…

This is a bad take.
A fan was not responsible for 2003. Alex Gonzalez boots a ground ball that a backup high school SS could field, and Mark Prior forgets how to pitch.
Game 7, Kerry Wood can’t hold a lead, and the bullpen can’t get guys out.
In a situation like one that happened in game 6, the onus is on Baker to…

yeah, it’d be rough if at my job when someone got angry at me theyd just send me candy and glitter. the horror.

aside from talk radio callers, is there really any hand wringing? I don’t know anyone, personally, that is any kind of worried.

money. no other reason.

So, the Hawks essentially traded Panarin, and some guys for Anisimov, and some guys.

Two of the D men have already been traded....Schlemko, and van Riemsdyk.

They still might be better than the Avs.

The best store to rob, if guaranteed to get away would be costco.

Chris pronger did. not only did he go on LTIR to avoid Philly getting a recapture penalty, but he was employed by the NHL at the same time.

Rondo was the only guy aside from Butler that gave a shit in the playoffs. He couldnt buy time on the floor in February.

under no circumstances will they screw up any of the original six teams jerseys. Could there be a ‘fish sticks’ type screw up? sure but not with any of those teams primary jerseys. the alternates may be a different story.....
