Line Combos: Your All time Hawks Team

[SimpleJack]

Then Hasek needs to be on the team.

yes I completely agree

 

[clydesdale line]

yes I completely agree

lol.

 

[KWP]

... was remembering famous players who had short stints with the Hawks.

Tony-O had a brother ...

 

[KWP]

I know no fair tugging heartstrings but ... Yeah, Maggie makes my roster and - no offense any other captain - he wears the C. (And I think a unanimous vote the others.)

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Players I actually saw play so about since 1970

Hull. Mikita. Kane
Secord. Toews. Larmer
Sharp. Savard. Hossa
D Hull. Roenick. Amonte

Keith. Chelios
Stapleton Wilson
Seabrook hjalmarsson

esposito
Belfour
Crawford

Coach Q
Billy reay

I like it but will make 2 swaps to improve the team, if you don't mind.

Drop either D. Hull or Amonte for Chico Maki, much more versatile , much better defensively and vastly underrated. (I know he's a RW but could play C and I'm sure he wouldn't be out of place at LW either)

Drop Hjamarsson for Bill White. White may be superior to Hammer on D and was twice the player offensively.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Hasek wasn't on the team long enough and wasn't the Dominator when he was here.
If we're including Hasek, are we including Orr, Coffey, Dionne, Phil Esposito, etc. ?
Nobody thinks of those guys as Blackhawks.

I'd make an argument for excluding Panarin as well because when his career is said and done most will think of him as a Rangers great.

I think it should be people who are associated with the Blackhawks.
Bobby Hull, Mikita, Denis Savard, Kane, Toews, Tony Esposito, Roenick, Chelios etc.

I could go for maki over amonte. ( Dennis Hull was my favorite Hawk as a kid so he stays)

I was wavering between white and hammer. That stapleton White duo was the Keith Seabrook of their day, and were an important pairing in the 72summit series

 

[ray c]

i'd have pierre pilote in there

 

[ray c]

how about our first hall of famer goalie Chuck Gardiner

Dennis was so much more exciting before all the netting around the rink. LOL

... Chico Maki ...

I'll see your Chico Maki and raise you a Lou Angotti. ;-)

I almost wish Dennis Hull skated another club - I mean his slapper was a bomb, too but ... How the heck was he ever going to get his due when his brother was, "The Golden Jet" and hounded every post game for printable quotes.

I've read Dennis Hull was one of the funniest guys around too ... a lot of great hockey player quips never reached the morning paper. Oh well ... That's hockey, baby.

I’ll double you and raise Eric nesterenko and cliff korroll

 

[Marotte Marauder]

I recognize all 3 names offered but Chico was by far the best of the 4 and I loved them all.

 

[Flahawkfan]

Can I get some love for Doug Gilmore? As nearly a point per game center.... and played for some bad Chicago teams. He is in the hall of fame. Just not sure if he replaces any of the 4 that are shoe-ins (Toews, Savard, Mikita, and Roenick).

He does have a cooler nickname than Toews and Roenick in "Killer" but Stosh is the coolest of them all!

And lets not forget Bernie Nicholls - He is one of only eight players in NHL history to score 70 goals in one season, and one of five to score 150 points. He averaged over a point a game.

Can we at least include them as honorable mention????

Hawks also had some pretty decent Dmen back in the day as well, who rarely get a mention. Guys like Jerry Korab, Keith Brown, Phil Russell, Doug Jarrett to name a few.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Historical hockey is my favorite thing. Seriously so cool reading and learning about these old players.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Going off simply the guys I watched play, and based on their play as Blackhawks...

Panarin - Toews - Kane
Sharp - Roenick - Hossa
Daze - Zhamnov - Havlat
Sullivan - Lang - Amonte

Just off the top of my head

Edit: Maybe replace Lang with Nylander? I grew up watching some garbage Hawk teams. Kyle Calder was my favorite Hawk for a stretch. Woof.

King Kong korab was one of my favorite players in the early 70s. Just the name

Another guy to consider is Steve Thomas. So underrated

How about replacing Zhamnov with Lang or Savard..Casper (AZ) was missing too many nights.

Savard was traded when I was three.
