Having read and researched Mikita, I voted him for #1, so it's no surprise that my vote will also go to him since Hull got the top spot.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Mikita was great but Bobby Hull was the gamechanger.

 

[BobbyJet]

The first two were always a slam dunk in Hull first, then Mikita.

After that I'm sure we'll get many opinions. Denis Savard was the most entertaining but I'll choose Roenick third (despite injury hindering his NHL career). Glenn Hall needs consideration as well. He played in an era of great goalies where Sawchuk received most of the accolades, but Hall was just as good, he played with much more flare and his records for consecutive games played by a goalie will never be broken. The number, believe it or not was 502!!!!!!

For my next pick I'll probably go with Toews. It's unreal what he's done, and being captain of 3 cups is worthy enough for me.

This one is easy though IMO.

mikita for sure at 2....

now number three is where it gets interesting....

Yeah - I've heard Hall's name thrown around, but his best season was actually with Detroit (55-56), so surely that is something to consider.

I think I'll put a current Blackhawk next, it's unreal what Keith, Toews, Kane have done.

Number three is where it gets interesting

Kane, Keith, Savard, Roenick, Toews, even some other are all options there, I think

As well Doug Wilson and Glenn Hall need to be considered as candidates.

Great pic of Hull. For those that didn't see him play, this was the pose we saw often in a typical game as Hull wound up in his own end. He would often take the puck to his back hand side and fend off ops players with one arm. No one did it better, then or now.

Hull and Mikita should be 1 and 2.

For the top 10 (in no particular order) I'd add Hall, Pilote, Savard, Esposito, Toews, Kane, Keith, Roenick, and Chelios. One of them would have to be left off though.

Chelios needs some more love in here. He's a top 10-15 defenseman of all time.

Chelios will be getting my vote beginning at #3, followed by Kane prob

 

[Any Colour You Like]

Add Charlie Gardiner. Would probably be my #3 vote.

Add Charlie Gardiner. Would probably be my #3 vote.

I certainly will, although as morbid as it sounds since we died so young, do you consider him the 3rd best Blackhawks of all time? Ahead of Toews, Kane, Keith..?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

This one won't need to be open for a week. Mikita.

 

[SAADfather]

The guy with the donut shop.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Still going with

Absolutely. In seven seasons, he won two Vezinas, three All-Star team berths, and essentially carried the Hawks to the Cup in '34, as captain no less.

 

[rick hawk]

Now that Kane has won a Hart, a Conn Smythe, an Art Ross and scored a Cup winning goal I'd rate him number 2.

 

[Sarava]

Plus a Calder as well.

I have Kane and Keith fighting it out for the next 2 spots. Might go for Keith ahead of Kane though.

He will certainly be added.

I do enjoying learning more about the Blackhawks during the 'early' years.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

3 is where it will get interesting for sure. Its tough to include the guys that are still playing the game, especially when they're all still in their primes. Roenick is my favorite player, but I'd probably rate him below both Savard and Pilote.

 

[BK]

As of right now it is Makita but I voted Kane because I think that is where he ends up.

 

[Eco]

Okay - Stan is the winner. Mods can close this as we have moved on to #3.
