Probably the best LW in NHL history and a top 10 all timer.
he was as amazing on the ice as he was a tyrant off it.
The greatest Blackhawk, until he bolted leagues.

Well Cheap Ass Wirtz wouldn't pay him the Million Dollar salary. Look what a mil gets you today a crappy 3rd liner. Left NHL with 610 goals would have easily hit 800 if he stayed healthy.

The biggest legend this franchise has ever had. Personal faults and all, he was great.  Thank you, Bobby. And no, him dying is not going to stop the jokes. Where's that Joanne Hull interview? I need to find it again. |

Joanne Hull marked SAFE from Bobby Hull... I'm curious what the response will be like when the Hawks Twitter account inevitably puts up the news. Better make some popcorn. |

I'm sure it will be special....because everything today is absolute black and white and can only be looked at through the prizm of what is socially norm today. If you faine moral superiority over someone elses faults (on twitter none the less), it is hard to see your own faults starring at you in the mirror. While I am not trying to excuse any of Hull's past, today should be more rememebring the good (aka the on ice stuff) and you can go back to the obvious faults and flaws he had in a week or two. |

RIP. One helluva hockey player and as noted a top all-timer.

So here's an interesting exercise...how close to Gretzky's goal record would Hull have come, had he remained in the NHL?
He scored 610 goals as it was (694 in Chicago).
He played 7 seasons in the WHA...and averaged over 50 g per season.
So...if he averaged 40 in the NHL (maybe a big if, but)...that is 890 goals.
