Stan Mikita in Action

[hongcharlotte]

God Bless Stan Mikita. He is a legend in Blackhawks history.

Sad to hear Stan the Man is suffering from oral cancer; he'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of seeing Mikita, Hull, and Esposito play back in the old Chicago Stadium - what a madhouse! Also was lucky enough to have Stan coach us kids at hockey camp one summer - man, was that a thrill! You won't find a finer gentleman than him. I always thought of Bobby Clarke, another HofFer, as basing his game on Stan's prototype (well, pre-Lady Byng days, that is).

[karch139]

Fantastic player, i liked his playmaking ability. Looked like Mr. Spock to me. He and Bobby Hull might have been the best 1-2 combo in history.

[MrGunnyboddy]

[Citrisik]

[DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

I always liked Mikita, and watched him play in the sixties and seventies--a real classy player. Go Hawks--take the cup for Stan--end the drought!!

[camper88]

Thanks for the clip. Stan's my favorite player, all time. Love the shot at 1:18 of him with the Art Ross, Hart, and Lady Byng. i've never seen that image before.

Stan played without a helmut. He is a real hockey player. Tough guys don't need protection.

[waterlilyqueen]

@bellatrixphoenix Didn't he end up wearing a helmut later?

[macelogan]

@bellatrixphoenix actually they do, because their quality of life after hockey will diminish if they do not wear a helmet.
