Rocky Wirtz was by and large a direct reason for why the Hawks slummed through the 90s. When he died and his son took over, the fans started to come back.
Rocky passed away at the same time they started winning and added Kane/Toes in the lineup.
Sustainability is anything but proven.
Guys "dollar" Bill Wirtz was the penny pinching dad who ran the Hawks for 41 years and died, Rocky was the savior son who took it over in 2007 and turned things around.
