Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Four Jerks Don’t Represent All Fans

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! What should have been a fun and festive win after losing eight straight games ended up being an ugly scene in Chicago thanks to four stupid fans!

What four fans said to Devante Smith-Pelly on Saturday night was totally unacceptable period, and I’m thankful that the Chicago Blackhawks’ staff and United Center staff took immediate action. There is no place for that kind of taunting ever! Through Twitter and our website we had many comments, and most of them were right on point!

#Blackhawks should ban them from the @UnitedCenter and from shopping at the @BlackhawksStore. Their fandom is not wanted.

Well said. Racism has no place anywhere. Hope those 4 are permanently kept out of the UC. Glad the Hawks took quick action, but sorry that Mr Smith-Pelly had to endure even a second of it. Profoundly disgusted & embarrassed that those 4 also called themselves Blackhawks fans.

There were many articles written about the incident all day Sunday, and I hope something is done permanently to those four fans such as never getting inside the United Center ever again. This isn’t what the Chicago Blackhawks fanbase is all about! Those four are not a snapshot of what I ever want to be lumped into! It’s very upsetting to me that they even call themselves Blackhawks fans!

Here is what the Blackhawks said late Saturday night.
