Being a Blackhawk fan since I was a kid I loved JR. He played the game the way it was meant to be played. Today's hockey is way too soft and Bettman is doing everything he can to ruin it.
Grew up in Toronto not liking JR very much. Well, as I got older I came to appreciate him as a player and love him as a bona fide NHL personality. Congrats on a great career, JR. You are missed!!!
As a 46 year old fan from Chicago...I live and die with Blackhawk Hockey. Let me say that after Bill Wirtz came on the radio after the loss to Pittsburgh in the Finals....he said lets make you a Hawk for life. Well needless to say it about broke my heart when the organization traded you that following year for Zhamnov. I have worn your #27 Jersey to every game I attend, since then in honor of your time here. You truly were the face of Blackhawk hockey. I wish you well in retirement .
