For ONE game

God, you are young. Bless you.

My players of first (and yes, also lean years) recognition are the splendid core of pappin, maki, Korral, "Pit"....and of course the studs...Makita, Hull, Hull and Espo.

But, Pappin, Pit Martin and Maki are names that let me know if somebody of my era really "Knew" the Hawks. Any hockey fan knows (or knew) the "Big 4"...

Don’t forget Pat Stapleton and Bill White.

Don't remember, my dad had 3 season tickets, that one was a ingle, my dad sat right behind Mrs. Mikita and her mother near the blue line. I was 3rd row up in the mezzanine, second seat in.

Haha that's awesome. Pavel Bure was one of my favorite players in the league back in the 90s. He was so good. Imagine how good he would in this NHL now where smaller guys thrive that much more

If you like IPA (I Party Alone) and you're in Ontario, try Flying Monkey Amber Ale.
- paulr

I’ll look for it. I had one in Toronto recently called (I think) Barking Squirrel? That was pretty good.

or if you have access to beer from quebec st ambroise apricot wheat ale is a very tasty treat.
- SaskHawkFan

Had it, like it. There’s a place near the Hotel I stay at in Montreal that has like 100 beers on tap and many more in bottles.

I've heard it was good but have never seen it? Not usually fond of wheat beer but I'd give it a try.
- paulr

Im a huge fan of wheat's in summer, nice and light. we are lucky to get some good stuff out here.

Yes it was, MY dad's name was Judah!!!!

Before them in the earlier 60's, Ken Wharram, Doug Mohns. Bill Hay, Eric Nesterenko.

Pappin obtained for Pilotte and Martin for Phil Esposito.

That's crazy that you guys may actually have met each other all those years ago and came together because of this site. Small world

Now listen here Darcy Rota...you didn't come along until a year or two later...but, I remember you well too.

Yes. Stapleton and White also names of my first watch era.

But, for some reason it is Pappin, Maki and "Pit" that stick out as the secondary guys on the team I first got hooked on.

Jerry Korab was another one. A big boy then (and now) at 6'3/220. He eventually ended up with the Sabres.

In one Hawks/Sabres game, Dennis Hull did something to Korab while in Sabre zone that just set Korab off. Hull was behind the net and Korab in front. Korab dropped his gloves and reached over the net, got a hold of Hull's sweater, dragged him to the front and pummeled him.

Fuel for the Maatta discussion, from ‘The Athletic’. Go.

Olli Maatta

One has to wonder whether Stan Bowman would have traded Dominik Kahun to Pittsburgh for Maatta had he known he’d be able to get de Haan from Carolina for a song later in the offseason. Maatta is a viable defenseman and a well-liked player, but he’s signed for two more seasons with a few blue-chip blueliners on the way up. Goaltending has been especially kind to Maatta, who has a positive goal differential (14-13) despite a 41.03 high-danger scoring-chance percentage, the second-worst among Blackhawks defensemen and behind only Gustafsson, his likely long-term partner now that Murphy is back in the lineup.

I wonder what Koekkoek and Gilberts numbers are? I bet they aren't pretty

Him and deHaan been playing their off sides, Maata definitely not as good as deHaan but way better when he plays LDman.

Does Maata play the PK as well? I think so, I'm in the camp can never have enough NHL dmen in your line up. Koekkoek and Gilbert are still AHL players.

Also i don't see 7 playing his off side and this year he either played with Keith, Maata or deHaan, all quality dmen. So many scoffed that 7 was done and Bowman made it a point to bring in NHL dmen and so far so good. Now if all the dmen can stay healthy let's see what we got.

Darcy was my guy. #18 before Savard came along. I was heartbroken when they traded my 2 favorite players in Rota and Ivan Boldirev to the Flames for Tom Lysiak, Greg Fox, Hal Phillipoff and 2 others.

Both Rota and Boldirev went on to have pretty decent careers with the Canucks and old Ivan ended up I believe in Detroit.

You are all forgetting one name, geez. Hint, he killed penalties with the best of them, another hint, louuu....

The real reasons:

1. Their opponents were slumping.
2. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Phil Russell.

Phil Russell.
- rpeters01

Best pure fighter I ever saw, his one punch knockout of Marc Tardiff after the one eyed Canadian coach Claude Ruel was egging Tardiff to challenge Russell was the best punch by a hockey player I ever saw.

I get this is a discussion board, and these are all hypotheticals, but we don’t know what this team is yet. Let’s just say that they pulls rabbit out of (somewhere), and they finish first in the division. Is that all smoke and mirrors? Are they still not a contender because of our original expectations/assumptions?

We are 20 games into an 82 game season. If we are solidly in playoff position near the TDL, I wouldn’t make a single move unless we get absolutely blown away with an offer.

The next 6 games that Tyler outlined in his blog are going to tell a lot about where this team is, Av's and Stars twice, Carolina and Tampa.
