But..itcwill be cruel to subject the kids to watching sh*t flushed down the toilet by the Dallas animations....because animation or real the Blackhawks are sh*t...by design ....yes..
Bit still the kids will have nightmares watching the horror showcof theBlackawks ...Do not think the 24/25 version is going gvtk be drastically different...so as I did...making kids watch this gimmick,is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment ..why in God's Name wi uldcanyonecdo that?

Unless you are a suckered for every gimmick Emperor Gary dreams up.

But maybe he plans to "fox" the results?

After all itvIS a Fantasy version of NHL reality and maybe anything is possible in this Fantasy world!

Next Gary will market merch based on the animated charachters..And ALK the kids will demand their plenty spend the shekels to by them the "cool" reproduction image paraphernalia..Thatcznimatedc"Bedsy" jersey gonna be sold out fast.

Up goes HRR and the cap...not based on actual player performance driving revenues...bit now on just sheer fictional performing impostors.

Sickening!

How is this different from the Big City Greens thing the League has done?
