IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm really gonna miss watching JR play. To those who aren't from chicago, or aren't Blackhawks fans, he brought real excitement to our team. You guys don't understand the situation we (fans) are in with Dollar Bill Wirtz as the owner. He won't even televise home games! No wonder hockey is dying in chicago like a disease. My friends and I are the only ones left! I'm serious. JR was a GOD in this game, and I can say I enjoyed watching him play since I was a young boy. Go Blackhawks I'm a Chicago boy myself and I can't second enough what you expressed ComebackK. Wirtz really is the worst owner in all major 4 sports. And no my Canadian friends, one of those sports doesn't include curling. And JR is one of my favorite players to step onto the ice... not as much for his sheer skill but for his love of the game and ability to fill multiple roles on a team. The downfall of the Blackhawks started when they traded him away. I also wanted to mention that of those 44 players up top, 8 of them (approx 20%) have played for the Blackhawks. I don't know if that stat is all that staggering considering people shuffle teams quite a bit but I thought it was something interesting to just toss out that list.

It is Patrick Lebeau, the much lesser of the two, being invited to Philadelphia Flyers training camp. Sorry about the mix-up 'Faxy, HFboards.com had one confusing thread on it last night (claiming a 37 year-old Lebeau to Montreal training camp) but has since corrected the information.
