Chicago Blackhawks Fan Introduction Thread

[CubbieKid17]

Favorite Player: Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews
Favorite Player All Time: Brett Hull (pre-Detroit years).
Fan Since: Hockey fan since 1999 when I saw my first hockey game on TV and fell in love with the sport. It was the Stanley Cup playoffs and led to me becoming a fan of Brett Hull. I've been a Hawks fan since 2000 when I became more familiar with the league.
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Winning the Cup, baby.
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: Seeing Patrick Kane go nuts after he scored the game-winning goal, and just watching as everyone around me (myself included) realized he scored. I was at a big pizza place with a bunch of people I knew. There were a bunch of nice TVs playing the game. It was absolutely incredible.

Favorite Player: Hammer. That goes back to the AHL and he was a great talent and super nice to my mom when he was in her office with his Girlfriend. Tht goes a long way in my book LOL.
Favorite Player All Time: Tony Amonte
Fan Since: Birth. I have always been a hockey fan and the Hawks are my team but I'll call it '89 when I really started paying attention to the sport.
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Has to be winning the cup. I was in class and had to listen to it on the radio driving home. Got home just in time for the OT!
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: The last 30 seconds and OT of the game against the Preds. That was the biggest sports emotional rollercoaster I have ever experianced.

Havn't been around much and I have been meaning to do this for a while and just got to it. I, like most of you, will pick up the posting now that the season started. I will also try to keep the Icehogs situation updated along with Icehogs Fan. I like to think its helpful for you guys to get a little insight to the farm that being close provides us. And its only like an hour or so to get to Rockford, get your butts don here and enjoy some Icehogs hockey for an evening or 2!

[Boom!]

Re-draft sign ups are going on in the NHL forum. If you want to learn some more about the game, players and build the best team possible, make sure you check it out.

I usually run a team on my own, but if anyone here wants to be an assistant and learn the ropes - let me know. I know that IceHog usually does it as well.

Favorite Player: As of last season, Corey Crawford. Gettin used to the new guys.
Favorite Player All Time: Wayne Gretzky; the guy is an even better person than athlete.
Fan Since: Technically my whole life, but I only started paying attention in 2010
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Radio announcer screaming last season "This series is going 7 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: Byuflyn checking Pronger the whole series!

[Jack the Ripper]

Favorite Player: Every player who wears the Indian head.
Favorite Player All Time: Jeremy Roenick
Fan Since: 1993
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Tie. Patrick Kane's Stanley Cup winning goal, and Jonathan Toews receiving the Stanley Cup.
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: Jeremy Roenick Heritage Night. It was a very emotional night for me. Though I remained a fan after he left, I had carried a lot of hard feelings toward the organization for 14 years. My wife and I drove a little over 9 hours to be there. Seeing JR put on that sweater again was the closure that I needed to finally let go of the resentment I had been harboring since the trade, and also allowed me to fully enjoy the current team and the magical season they were having. It was fitting beyond words that we won the Stanley Cup the year that my childhood hero was welcomed back home. Everything came full circle for me.

Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: Laying it to the Canucks in Game 6 of the 2nd Rd to move on.

[EaracheBaranski]

Favorite Player: Was Igor Krivakrasov for a day, but now it's the best all around player in the NHL, Jonathan Toews... or Hossa, Marzena is the best.
Favorite Player All Time: I have none, I have layers of greatness.
Fan Since: Genesis "In the beginning..."
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Probably the Hossa puck-drop-goal... too many to count.
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: Winning it! Second favorite: Closing out the series vs. Vancouver with my bros at GANNONS with the infamous Zerbian intermission goal applause. It was at Gannons, not the Goose!

[AusBlackhawks]

Favorite Player: Teows, Kane (even though he had a down season, some of his stuff is incredible, I hope he picks it up next season, if he doesn't get traded) or Viktor Stalberg, his quick skating is amazing, I remember one game this season where he out skated a player to get the puck at their end and then skate passed the goalie to slot it in.
Favorite Player All Time: Haven't been following long enough to have one.
Fan Since: New Years of 2012, I'm Australian so we don't get NHL over here, I have always loved the games, but putting bets on at the pub and then getting on the hockey, I chose Chicago as I remember in primary school I had a backpack with their logo on it.
Favorite Blackhawks Moment: Haven't been following long enough, but the closest would be when Chicago never quit against Phoenix in the playoffs and scored in the last couple of minutes in 3 games to put it into OT.
Favorite Blackhawks Cup Season Moment: I wasn't a fan back then so I don't have one.
