It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

They don't hate the sport. They hate how the NHL is run. This topic has been addressed on their podcast.

That's a fine line. So they like hockey but hate its most important league? Maybe they should cover rat hockey instead. They could interview shakes if he meets their moral standards.

Loving hockey but hating the NHL is extremely common among hockey fans. I know that's how I feel. I don't take it quite to the extreme that Fels and his pals do, where I scream "THIS LEAGUE IS AN EPIC DUMPSTER FIRE THAT WANTS TO RAPE WOMEN!!!!" every time the Kings use a picture of Drew Doughty for anything, but I have a lot of problems with the league, particularly with business operations but the on-ice stuff as well at times. More than the other three leagues, there are a lot of idiots in charge, and it's frustrating. Being an NHL fan is kind of like living in Rockford: you hate it and talk about how terrible it is, but when someone else does the same, you spin around and defend it relentlessly.

I find that to be an odd stance. I guess I could see it from someone who plays the game him or herself and simply isn't interested in professional hockey. But how does one like hockey while not liking its highest level?

Forget Faxes.

Listen to The Blackhawks Rinkcast. Hosted by Puckin Hostile and John Jaeckel from The-Rink.com

Excellent insight every week and no sanctimonious BS that Faxes spews.

Best Blackhawks podcast out there; used to listen to Zawaski's, caught Puckin Hostile's and never went back to Jay Z.

I listened to a few of them but they didn't do much for me. Was this the one where they talked for 20 minutes about what jerseys they were going to buy at the Aurora outlet mall? That was brutal.

That was the old Puckin Hostile podcast with the multiple co-hosts. They've dropped a lot of the sound drops and bring in people to talk about the prospects in the Hawks systems. I like that they mostly stick to hockey, with a little music thrown in, and don't do the Faxes PC bs.

You watch lots of NHL games but complain that every zone entry has to be turned into the Zapruder film, or lament that a team exists in Phoenix only to warehouse other teams' bad contracts and keep payroll down for the Boston Bruins. It's always been a crooked league with bad ideas, but hockey itself is a joy.

Why would a hockey fan be upset that a guy who hated hockey is off the air?

Because Jason gave Sam guest spots to talk about how much he hates the Blackhawks.

That's exactly the thing DeCastro just eliminated. There's a very limited audience for sports talk by guys who hate sports. And if you're going to do that type of radio, I would suggest contacting Bernie Lincicome.

Air time for guys who call a player "Garbage-Dick" is not exactly the analysis I am looking for. Know your audience and don't be a condescending douche and you might get the opportunity to be taken seriously. Win with your argument not smug snarkiness.

Here's a puzzling post about Pat Foley's shitty attitude down the stretch. https://faxesfromuncledale.com/pat-fole ... -your-job/


HOLY SHIT. You're the same people who bitched about Foley being too enthusiastic about the team because you said he was just following orders from the sinister mastermind John McDonough. Now he hates seeing the Hawks suck like the rest of us and that's the wrong thing to do? And this from the people who definitely see everyone else in the hockey world as beneath them. And given that you hate the Blackhawks and their fans for not posting about black people on Twitter enough for you, Twitter being the only thing on this planet that gives anyone at that site a pulse, why are you here?

Listened to their podcast today and after complaining about Pat Foley some more, they outed him and giggled that they were going to hell. Jason Goff will live on in all our hearts, I suppose.

Outed him?

Yes, the famously born-on-third Chicago Blackhawks Hockey Club, which in 2007 was close to being surrendered to the league office because Dollar Bill had destroyed nearly every revenue stream and finally couldn't afford to float them with Judge & Dolph money anymore. They really think John McDonough just kicked up his feet and let Toews and Kane win games, ignoring that he had to force the Blackhawks down people's throats those first few years and call in just about every favor around town from his Cubs years to get buzz around the team. Make no mistake, it never would have worked if the players didn't win, but the Blackhawks renaissance was a top-to-bottom effort.

I don't know where their allegiances lie anymore. Well, maybe I do. Let's go down the line: they hate ownership, which is natural, billionaires are generally malevolent and not to be trusted. They hate the executives, because that's who covers up The Truth About Patrick Kane. They don't seem to care for management, either; at best they barely tolerate the Bowmans but think they're not vigilant enough about concussions and don't do enough analytics. They hate the players,, especially Canadian players, and especially white Canadians, who they routinely call rapists, alcoholics, and 8th-grade dropouts. They don't care for most reporters and they probably hate fans most of all.

So the only people they really like are P.K. Subban and people who post on Twitter. That's basically who all of this is for now.

On this week's podcast McClure could only suggest the Hawks trade the #8 pick since he didn't know anyone other than Dahlen. So I can pay $5 a month for that level of insight and analysis?

Yeah, I don't think they know shit about amateur scouting but won't cop to it. On another podcast, they agreed that this is a one-man draft class and anyone who doesn't get Dahlin is screwed, and then I read weeks later that it's actually a much stronger class than last year's and that the whole top ten is valuable. They're probably trying to wish their beloved NBA into reality, where every draft has like one actual guy in it and if you have to draft fourth overall you may as well tear your entire organization down and start over.
