Sudden passing noted, makes me think he wasn’t “sick”. The ticker sometimes just says “enough”.
Say whatever you want about Rocky, he did the things needed to not only make the Hawks relevant again, but he brought three cups to Chicago—three more than I had ever hoped to see by 2009. For that I’ll remember him, and I truly hope he Rest In Peace.
(Also glad he’s not losing so much money anymore 😉)

Is there anyone actually left from the Cup era now that Rocky has passed?

Wideman, jeezus H. The players cant stand that guy on road trips. Never heard of anybody until him, who has to take a shit every flight and stink up half the plane.

Was that town hall meeting his final public appearance? What a way to go out as the villain.

Was it announced that Danny would take over? Seems most probable but this is still the Wirtz family and doing stupid things is natural to them. Pully coming back from the glue factory?

Good read, all true, and certainly a bad memory.
Hard to believe they we’re winning it all only 4 years later.
Bodes well to the idea that turning things around doesn’t have to take a decade or more.
