the nature of internet fandom. Both fanbases happy. Excellent.
As I said before, April 2015 we will know who won this trade.
I think when your a bad team like we are, fans of that team are more aware of what is going on around the league and what players are playing well or bad because bad teams have so many holes and as fans we are constantly checking out what's happening on other teams and what up and coming prospects each team has and so on.
Great teams like Chicago, fans don't have to be "hardcore" as we have to. I bet if someone was to "test" fans of all the teams on hockey's future, the fans of the worst teams i bet would be the far more knowledgeable about what's going on in the NHL than than fans of the best teams. This is why I do not blame Chicago fans for being thrilled about this trade and think they "robbed" us here. Like someone once said, ignorance is bliss. Versteeg sucks and he was worth pissed on ice chips. We all know that and most hardcore followers of hockey know it too and definitely scouts and other Gms. That's why we had to pay to get that bum outta here. Versteeg may have his moments in Chicago and maybe win another Stanley Cup but he'll always be a bum and a cancer and he's exactly the type of NHL player every team should avoid.
