Farewell Stosh.
Finally found some peace after a long and difficult struggle with dementia. One of the truly great Hawks in history...on and off the ice.

A blessing for his family for sure.
Can't wait till McEgo tries to profit from this news.

The canned tribute today was nauseating

Never seemed rushed...Just carried the puck up ice, made a little move and put the puck where he wanted. A great player.
Terrific guy off ice with his camps for handicapped players. Hope he knew his family at the end, R.I.P., Stosh

Sad that he passed, but hopefully he & his family have peace. I'm sad I only got to see him play in clips after his career was over. Must have been a lot of fun to watch in person. RIP

Before my time, but I've seen taped games. Mikita is a true legend of the game.
Is it true he invented the curve on the stick blade?

That's the legend, but at least Andy Bathgate claimed to have done it in the 40s and he says Stash knew about it, so who knows.

Saddened. 50+ years ago (I'm 64) when I started liking The Blackhawks, Stan was in his prime along with The Hull Boys Tony O and all the other greats from back then so he's always been one of my personal all time greats. In fact when I started playing hockey my 1st helmet was Stan's white bubble head dome style. I think it's still in my box of archives. RIP my man.

Maybe this is why they brought in Cheli to fill the void as an ambassador?
Tough to watch such a proud person deteriorate and basically become a child again.
