" Is -- benefit called good for his word always vote fellow Rocky words Blackhawks chairman of Mike Murphy all right gave my power you. All I'm just catching my breath now from the most exciting Blackhawks isn't. In the most of our lifetimes fans it's righty works. Rocky is for the fans want to quit caught a couple of our -- open -- want to -- fans want to say hi. Iraqi the most accessible guys that you know world's 6446767. Last time you and I spoke Rocky. About six weeks ago. It has been down at -- some off. Paul both of legendary a game in Florida. At a bigger than golf Murphy is I don't -- neither did you know it'd be a good -- all I know that. Iraqi when did it. Have you finally -- settled down to define your blood pressure finally bad that's what you've done that everyone's got a the last week of -- try to just. Catch your breath."

" I -- I have to admit -- this this weekend off I didn't do anything either sit at home if a guy like Maryland a two out Beagle for and I did not think I watched that this Stanley cups on TV and I -- your dad and I did actually nothing -- on the barbecue and just to relax."

" You have drawn up as any out ball way out in the western suburbs that we always a big old dogs I tell you what."

" There's not -- is there rabbit and admit that I holing sounds."

" You know what is the F I write it's people -- he can't hold them back up I think he'd ever take itself too seriously that's -- take dead people it's no Spiegel they -- you're just so full of yourself in the."

" Better and actually think that way Iraqi. I'm -- sports beat. -- some fans. They have any sort of theory into everybody's got their own way -- looking at things sometimes I think cub fan Sox fans they -- if we don't make it to the World Series. You know it's not a successful season some Bulls fans golf and I Murphy is good I'll make it to the NBA finals maybe Bears fans out there with a -- did dominate the Super Bowl alternate college successful let me ask Iraqi how would you. Characterize. This past season in your lives."

" It was a terrific season but well we -- little short and that was our ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup an important thing for the the fans or anyone know who just finished just now. You know staff meeting with with everyone and I desperation the business is."

" That the and I used to exercise I am not."

" And every year every day every month we want to get better -- we're -- to try to -- better and -- all the -- that's all -- ourselves and then -- eventually -- there."

" Rocky there's always the ideal amount of hey you know build it and broke why fix it. Jim Hendry and you've got signed general manager I'll say that I think he does a great job with the Cubs -- now fans are."

" Calling the out of sports talker here called the score and I don't."

" Hey you know what. There really wasn't broken last year they did lose to the Dodgers the Cubs in the playoffs but Mickey. This is not my kids I speak English fans don't know maybe he shouldn't have tinted so much. How how do you address if a fan -- you know what I did the Hawks don't tinker too much."

" I think beyond what with a young team is different depending and everyone gets to really people at the plate going -- harm but it is hard to black out -- we had to do we have a terrific nucleus of young the young players. And anytime we can try to improve and that's dale and his staff are going to do that and and just from our scamper into the topic is he has none no inhibitions to do that I mean he he can go ahead and do it."

" We have to work with in this salary cap but every other team -- to work with an inflamed capsule."

" there's there's something to play for these great fans and and that's terrific cities so going to be players that might want to call in and you think about some of those other teams they have plenty cap room but yet the play in those cities versus Chicago. I think that's that down we're going to see a lot of these players understand Chicago for just that reason."

" Iraqi. I as a fan and this is Pollyanna fish but I always say I don't worry about the salary -- you know -- that's not my worry I'm just offense I had my checkbook it's not my rules. I'm not a -- biologist. But I thought it was very interesting that you just pointed out that salary cap is there for everybody right all teams calling of the salary cap."

" This -- don't have."

" Teen age that says I'm going to -- a hundred million dollars for one your star players. And that down but he actually feel the pain -- so it'll all he'll play over the same ground rules that then it's fair in the end that's -- that there's actually just took a year off and end it was very painful at times but -- so that we can have a --"

" Get a means to be able to run our franchise. With that in mind we can have very good teams."

" We have years to come if we follow a very good. System that we're going to have been aware in the confident implementing much I do have complete faith and in the end -- and -- feel talent be able to do that."

" An Iraqi you always visit with the fans after some games are down their -- pandemonium. You don't have a seat up let me ask super sweet up there you sit right down with the fans. So I -- nasty off the air but I'm -- it's okay if I slide a few calls from the fans want to say daddy was that okay I'm excited about anybody beautiful let's bring in -- telephone Sean has his name is that you shot."

" That's kept me -- his value Beatty sent out of San Iraqi words -- Iraqi where the nation on how are you -- officers at the plate. They -- call. Racked with all the stuff that you over the past few seasons -- in the old players back. Back you know you know the -- back yard TV you know. The radio. It's awesome. Is that politically morbid challenger. -- come up with new ideas or just being consistent."

" By the contamination new money you know any good business always works copy innovation and these tough times innovations what's gonna get cute to the next level and I think what you've seen the Hawks so fire. And you know. In all of sports and with these young folks -- out there they can always learn how to get themselves and -- the team better and that's just the deal -- of the world so I don't you know you're going to see a little but a new and improved fan convention this summer. We leave we've sold out again it is bigger than it was last year but we're we're going to have. Plenty of access to players and and end I question answers that period I think it's going to be. Always trying to do something that's a little different in the end we're going to have some fun and don't let. -- When -- grade I mean I was lucky enough. We I get -- myself for sports for the year and that's Dick Ebersol for NBC wanted -- to -- he deserved it he's a fine. You know -- sportsmen and businessmen and and the Hawks were in -- were nominated to an end about the celtics' one but just put out per -- getting as an organization to nominations for this sports business journal we are very very pleased and very very fortunate."

" is John thanks for jumping in lamented a few months cause all right Shaun. Thank divided now. Rodney as far as and I believe them versus -- contract was. Pretty much before you got -- settled in how often do you hear from the fans. Before during after those games emails messages about holidays are up that -- them how they enjoy it and say well how is this. What are your thoughts. In the future you had nothing to do what does not believe but how does -- not fit for the night at another couple years on the DL I believe."

" Well you know it's it's added it's added -- you do yeah. Southern -- and criticize someone else is there -- but I think you know the beleaguered trying to do everything they can do to expose them this great sport so. You know obviously NBC is -- is there is certainly dogged him you know to get into the weekend and yeah. -- And we had our block outs and others thought black that was going around."

" Some Iraqi honestly did you think about growing a beard the playoff spirited ever cross your mind or go with the beard or -- I get out worry about it looking like Patrick Kane and easy to ridicule blow now let's hunter wanted to mark quit college and let Rocky words get on -- as did the daily Branyan. Just filled Illini did resign as -- a bitter."

" I Iraqi are yet and I beat -- you know. I would treat -- ticket holder from a bar owners as well sort of United Center and I gotta tell you like most trans am extremely happy with what actually what's happening. My question to you is. In watching them knowing where in the final four now it appears to me there's still a higher level we need to train in order to be competitive. And be able to beat Detroit -- organization's benefits appears to me when maybe one or two experienced. Players away from reaching that level I'd like to hear your comments --"

" Sure sure Peter and I think there's certainly. Train of thought about you know an extra player to do -- you -- Especially by your way as to beating Detroit the way you're going to be Detroit is to have your players learned the system the system is you work hard for him for all. -- all games. And then you know you're preparing yourself for another second season in the Stanley -- so what you saw today and he south. But that six week period is -- half a fairy -- hockey team and because they've learned that minutes successes they won the Stanley Cup last year they knew what they had to do some this year doing that you saw the first two games in Pittsburgh and how they really played well at home. How important home -- is because of all those. You know we knew we needed 82 games they agreed to keep grinding and it's so quiet to -- superb shape so. I think it's it's more how the players you have which you can always tweak it here there. But I I know what they learned they have to really sacrifice take it -- next level next year we just can't chill out and expect to be in the conference finals you got to earn it and I think that's I mean the players learned this year."

" A hitter thanks for checking in from Deerfield buddy. Appreciate you very much. Any old chat I would love that Eddie is the best he had one of those column is that when asked them the other day did it right at the very low Riders set. You know if you think that commissioner for a day and you don't check. And yet some great little idea as Iraqi would suggest that one was not. If you have a blazer on your helmets you're not allowed to fight -- another one was different helmet comes off the fight most -- are just stuff that made the defense. Nothing you have any ideas. That the commissioner hasn't heard it yet but dot would you say is the number one thing you hear from the fans that maybe you have or are would. You know sort of mention to the commissioner."

" I think I think just Expos in the game to -- as many different ways you can I think you know using."

" You know television led -- web page and any way to communicate with your fans premiered and we telephone your radio take anything you have. -- score as simple web page for a reason because you want to communicate with you -- your listeners and more than just what you're doing in the end I think there's anything you can do. It happened and and listen to how young people communicate -- that's really where it's gonna go too far forward."

" Slide wondered too quick cause then and now whether -- do you work smarter thunderstorms Sports Radio 670 Lincoln blood hello Chris."

" Guard Chris had a lucky he cries certainly well I guess you don't -- Christian. You threw Bob hey I would wanted to first of all thank you for got kind of adapting a little bit them via. Working in blue collar attitude that stuff. I think up. Any good sport team and I'm going to fit properly earlier but they'll be and you know that the way -- people how.

" Thanks a lot to Chris and you've got to see Jeff dot com my guys just failing Chevrolet it's all of the GM total confidence -- it's five years and a dozen miles per hour train warranted.

" Great they're going to give it really did and you know it was beckoning old day I'll mouth guard he's a bad thing he had he may even admit that I think this thing like at all. -- singer and I always loved the way you would have the look at the game and a mirror backwards remember luck does play probably Babylon home and lifted her -- couldn't figure out how to.
