Reposting something I wrote in the quinneville thread as it probably belongs here.
Yeah it’s a tough pill for me to be honest. Chicago has been my second favourite team since I was a kid and my parents took the family to see the last regular season game in Chicago stadium. I was hooked, that team was great, with Roenick, chelios, suter, belfour list goes on. I was hooked. Then some dark years but I stayed a fan, cheered hard in 2010, 2013 and 2015 cups.
It would take a lot to take my fandom of the Hawks away, but this did it. It’s all tainted for me, years and years of cheering tainted. I can’t do it for this organization, they are dead to me.
Thank goodness I can still cheer for my number 1 team, and be proud that with all of the Flames organizations faults, they handled a tough situation with Peters promptly, with class, and has been, in general, a very professionally run organization.
