maybe we all do not appreciate it, but for me growing up post 1988, the only legit Hawks player (meaning spent significant time as a Hawk) that went into the HOF is Chelios. Roenick, Larmer and Belfour are outside looking in. Savard obviously counts but I was real little in his days. No player from 1996 on that became a Hawk for a significant time will be HOF material...until now.
to know that we have witnessed 4 legit first ballot HOFers in our lifetime from this run is absolutely mind blowing. Congrats Keith, you have been an amazing soldier and someone that we still take for granted to this day.
