The End of the Blackhawks Dynasty

[karnige]

I don't know that it qualifies in the traditional dynasty sense but what they did was impressive. To break down and manage to put a cup winning team together three separate times under the cap is a totally different skill. I think the Toews and Kane contracts will ultimately be too much of an obstacle to get around though. It's probably the end.

Hawks need defense. it's really shown huge cracks the last few years. Crawford was the teams mvp for sure imo. aging defense with nmc. yikes

Hard to have a dynasty now with 30, 31 and soon 32 teams. 3 in 6 is damn good. I'd consider 3 in 3 a true dynasty. Doubtful anyone wins 5 in a row ever again. Cap will put an end to that.

this is funny, but it's funnier how you bumped up this old thread just to say it LOL

They aren't really a dynasty. The Penguins are the only team that could potentially be a dynasty if they win the cup this year or the next.

3 in 3 or 3 in 4 would separate them from every other team in the league even more than they are already separated.

All thanks to Phil Kessel, one of the most underrated players to ever play the game.

implying Chicago had a dynasty lel

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

They can still make a comeback.

Couldn't literally any team go and win multiple consecutive Cups and be a dynasty? Why only the Pens?

 

[steveat]

How much you want for Saad...or Kane..or Toews?

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Bettman did everyone a great disservice when he called them a dynasty. They are not and never will be, though I may have even conceded it if they'd won last year.

They were already back to back champs. If they win 3 in 4, 4 in 5. I’d say they are a dynasty.

Other teams can be dynasties as well. We just don’t know yet though.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It really does feel over at this point. Sad, makes you feel old.

Kane and Toews will all be 30 next seasons start. Keith and Seabrook nearing glue factory.

their dynasty ended when patrick kane scored the 2nd goal in game 6 of the cup finals against tampa bay in 2015

It was over when they gave $ 10 million per year to Seabrook & Toews.

Kane not Seabrook.

Out with the old in with the new.

 

[MLSE]

Feel bad for Hawk fans, I swear I’ve seen a thread like this all season.

Don't feel too bad, when a team was that good, these threads happen on any down.

 

[ScaredStreit]

In order for a dynasty to ends it needs to begin in the first place.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

All that is solid melts into air.

I've had a horrible day, so I came here to discuss the true meaning of the word dinasty. Might talk a bit about what is generational later on.

"Dynasty" should be filtered and automatically replaced with something like "prolapsed rectum". Not only is it hilarious but it'd stop another thread from becoming a hundred posts saying "not a dynasty".

I'd like to add "generational" to that filter.

The End of the Blackhawks Prolapsed Rectum. Now there's a thread I would reply to.

What it means to be a dynasty has changed with increasing parity.

Also, while Kessel is a great help, not a single Pens cup has been "all thanks to Phil Kessel."

It's been a while since we've had a good ol' discussion on what represents a decade, on HF. 2000-2009 or 2001-2010, pick your side !
