Confirmed with Link: Marian Hossa to sign one day contract to retire as a Blackhawk

[clydesdale line]

One of my favorite Blackhawks of all time. I hope he gets a role in the organization in some capacity. If the Hawks somehow win the lottery and get the #2 pick, I hope they draft Slafkovsky and Hossa mentors him.

The GOAT!

Suddenly next game just became a must-see event!

Hossa was my favorite player from the cup runs. If the Hawks don't sign Hossa, we have zero Stanley Cups. He was an incredible stabilizer for the team.

Been a long time since we signed a legitimate star.

There are few legit stars to sign each year and this team's had a lot of stars on it already.

Is there a special Hossa night honoring him...did he already have one in Chicago...or are they saving it for next season to get at least 1 sellout night..because next season is probably even worse than this one and seasonbtickeysxprobalky fall off a little.

As I understand vitamin,tge Hossa retirbg as a Blackhawks player is just a smaller ceremony fansxcan attend but is not in the main arena ...so a special night before a game in the full arena will I guess be held at a different time..either later this season orprobably next season.

They gave Toews husx1000th game celebration night...but will obviously wait till he decides to retire before giving him his career legends night whenever that time comes..


Celebration nights will be key to Hawks making some money from sell-outs during these times of a dreadful team.

However insets Jones gives us 8 more years of
- 33 or worse ,thenI doubt any fans would want to show up for his legend's night when he ultimately hangs them up .

So for a day he will be our 4th best player on current Hawks team

I miss Hossa

Big Hoss good to see him back

Just a little tongue in cheek comment my guy.

I’ve always found the one day contract thing to be most silly.

Yep

 

[No Fun Shogun]

If it means something to a player, then I’m all for it.

And this should definitively end any debate on if he was more of a Hawk or a Sen.

There was a debate?

I have no idea, you are newer here so I never know.

Dude. It's a one-day contract. Come on.

 

[Drumman44]

One of, if not THE, best free agent signing in Chicago sports history

But was he more of a Hawk or a Yote?

Again I have no clue who you are as you are new. Most new poster cry to basically cry.

He's new, but his posting has largely been a refreshing addition here.

It's a harmless way to honor a guy who was a huge part of 3 cups.

 

[BK]

Don't disagree.

I cant even think of another one close.

 

[HLLYWD99]

Hossa went on LTIR and Shaw was traded and so ended the Hawks dynasty.

 

[BK]

I cant even think of another one close.

It’d be awesome if he dressed and played!
