    Long-time Blackhawks fans.

    After many, many years of rooting and playing with the Blackhawks in NHL video games I find it funny that "my team" is actually good for once. I know that when I pick the Blackhawks on NHL 10 for an online game my opponent is probably thinking, "typical, everyone uses them of the Penguins." I wish there was some kind of disclaimer that said, "look, I've used this team since NHLPA 93 on the Sega Genesis." Does anyone else feel this way, I know this is a completely random post but I can't sleep because of game 5.

    I don't really care what team my opponent picks, but there are alot of people who pick chicago now because they are good. But if i play someone who picks them i don't assume they're a bandwagon or not because i don't know them, but some people can get frustrated playing same teams all the time because people want the best team possible which is reasonable.

      Yeah, it is hard not to think that a lot of times, but that's their fault not yours. I think that sometimes and when I pick the Blackhawks I imagine that they're thinking that about me. A lot of times I'll use the randomize button to pick a team when I play VS online.

      But who cares, it's so much fun to go tearing up the ice withe Kane trying to deke around everybody cause he's so damn quick and speedy.

        I am amazed at how people can still play online with all the quitters out there and bandwagon Pens, Hawks and Caps fans out there. Now I know there are some die hard fans out there but its stupid to see all these 3 teams picked like crazy for online games.

        Next year we will probably see a ton of fans being Windsor next year for CHL matchups.
        NHL: Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks
        OHL: London Knights
        MLB: Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays
        Frontier League baseball: London Rippers

          Ya the quitting happens way too often for my liking, but what can you do? If someone quits on you, they give you the 3-0 win and its ALWAYS because they are losing. I still enjoy online versus regardless, and usually counter guys that take the Hawks with the Canucks or Sharks. They seem to be a good matchup vs the Hawks.

            life long Pens fan here and I'm am amazed (well actually really not surprised) at how many messages i would get after playing and beating someone with the penguins. Then i would offer a rematch when a team of THEIR choice and still win

              I'm a Die-Hard Rangers fan. Use the Rangers on versus mostly. I like using the Blackhawks against people that pick the Pens, Caps or Sharks, or Red Wings. I'm not bandwagon, it's just evening out the playing field!

                  lol, yes!

                  I use to lineup Ruutuu, Roenick, Larmer, Smith and Chelios in NHL 94. Had to sub out Goulet since he sucked in this game for some reason.

                  Good old Eddie in net.

                  Great f'ing game.... those were the days!

                    Long time hawks fan here. I always pick a division rival based on what the other person picks, or just use the random feature... I do find it super annoying playing certain teams all the time. BUT the people that do this are usually bad or glitchers, both easy and satisfying to beat really really badly.

                      lol true.. i guess the game represents the skill of the players/teams on paper. lol cuz i find that i cannot compete if i take say the Flyers and play vs Hawks.

                        Gee...sure wish everyone was playing with the BLues because they were in the finals.

                        Consider yourself lucky...and luckier yet to have the extra reward for sticking with them through all their tough seasons.

                            I use the BlueJackets lol

                            BUT I can relate to you, because when it comes to NCAA FOOTBALL, I only use Ohio State. Been in Columbus all my life and it's funny when people back out of games and talk trash when they are getting their butt kicked.
