From NHL.com:

"Rules are rules, I guess."--Jonathan Toews

This was one of his reactions to his team disintegrating only days after winning the Stanley Cup.  Why so sad, panda bear?  You've only lost:

  • Dustin Byfuglien
  • Ben Eager
  • Brent Sopel
  • Andrew Ladd
  • Kris Versteeg
  • Colin Fraser
  • Adam Burish

...oh and apparently John Madden won't be returning either...awww.

"Some of these guys, before anything happened, immediately after the season they were hearing rumors from their agents. They didn't know what to expect, if they were going to stay."

Maybe there was a better chance of keeping some of these guys around if you and Patty Kane would have signed for a little less money.  Oh well..."rules are rules" right, Johnny Boy?

If Detroit is the golden standard for sustainable success, then Chicago has become the new poster boy for a "one and done".

I just want to post this picture once more...ever since someone on Twitter (whom I immediately stopped following) posted that "You mad?" pic oh Hossa with the Cup, this has been oh-so-sweet. Thanks again to "Whoabot" from Beards of War for creating it...

youmad

...yeah I think they are.
