The man who single handedly ruined hockey in Chicago (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3036711)


I hate to speak ill of the dead, but I can't say anything good about him

[QUOTE]But since moving there 12 years ago, the Blackhawks have made just four playoff appearances -- only two since 1997. The Blackhawks haven't played in the Stanley Cup finals in 15 years. As a result, the Blackhawks -- one of the six original NHL teams -- average about 12,700 fans per game in an arena that seats 20,500.[/QOUTE]


Pretty much says it all. He wrote the book on killing an unkillable franchise.

RIP, I guess.

Isn't it poetic that this team is now finally starting to come out of it's funk with some great young talent. Strange.

Ask any of the players from back in the day, and they will all tell you there was NOTHING like playing in Chicago Stadium....just from a noise perspective, you couldn't hear ANYTHING


Now they might as well be playing in a cathedral...
