That’s too bad. Me and GT were talking about him a couple weeks back. They were talking about him on a podcast I shared and GT had mentioned the story about him and as cool. A lot of the old guard is disappearing. RIP!!!

My childhood Blackhawks were: Hay, R. Hull, Litsenberger, Mikita, Wharram, McDonald, Nesterenko, Chico Maki, Wayne Maki, Turner, Evans, Fleming (Reg, not Peggy). Pilote, Vasko, St.Laurent, Glenn Hall, Murray Hall, Bronko Horvath, Ted Lindsay, Denis DeJordy, Murray Balfour, Ingram, Jarrett.
The Esposito bros. came later when I was in college, along with Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield (what a terrible trade that was). Pit Martin was the only real player of value to the Hawks.
That list has a few missing now. May they all RIP.

there was a couple posts about him in another thread, but anyone with a thousand games as a hawk likely deserves his own so i'll just merge them with your thread. |

7 seasons with chicago. Reg season 488 games, 216g 228a. Playoffs 69 games 26g 26a. For some reason as a kid i wasn't that crazy about him as a player. It just seemed to me i remember him missing way more than his share of easy goals. At least i think that's why. That was a long time ago but his numbers don't lie. He did score his share. Interesting story about his cup ring he won with toronto...about how it was lost in the gulf of mexico for many years. www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/2007/08/23/longlost_stanley_cup_ring_resurfaces.htmlAccording to wiki pappin paid the treasure hunter for the ring. A leaf's stanley cup ring? Must be damn near priceless. |

What I remember of Pappin was game 7 in 1971 SCF against Montreal with Hawks down a goal late and with what seemed like a yawning open net on his offside and looked like a sure goal and Dryden somehow was able to stop it. RIP Pappin. |

RIP Pappin. That miss in '71 definitely rings a bell and i'm pretty sure it helped fuel the unfair stance i had against him as an immature kid in my early "tens". That, and the bitterness that loss left me. I had to blame someone i guess. RIP |

Pappin wasn't always a favorite of mine and my late brother's either and the only reason I can recall was his style of play I guess but his career numbers do speak for themselves. R.I.P Jimmy Pappin. '71' almost broke this 14 year old's spirit,comming less than two years after the ill-fated September of '69' but like gt said....plenty of blame to go around. CAN YOU IMAGINE CC GIVIN' ONE UP FROM CENTER ICE THE WAY MY BOYHOOD HERO TONY-O DID?  |

Gilles Moratte, who Boston did not want to give, have to assume was the key player coming back and then sending Esposito hastily due to a bad playoff, was a major miscalculation by the Hawks GM at the time. |

I believe there was also a bit of a haze on the ice that warm May evening due to either Dollar Bill or King Arthur's refusal to turn up the a/c........was that the game that was stopped so players could skate around and disperse the fog or was that years later in Buffalo and where are my car keys? LOL! |

5 different announcements for different hawks players who have passed on (pappin, nesterenko, tony-0, angotti and whitey stapleton).
They were spread about in 3 different threads so i thought it best to group them all as one thread.
Too many RIP announcements lately...hopefully this thread soon finds it's way to the last page of hawk talk, not because the players here were forgotten but because there were no new former hawk players to add to it.
I didn't include jimmy hayes here because he was a hawk for under 50 games and also because the tragedy of his death kind of sets him apart from the others.
It's quite possible i've missed someone so if anyone notices let me know.

Sad news.
His passing was very sudden obviously as he was in montreal with the shark's organization for the draft when he passed. He had scouted for them 15 years.
313 penalty minutes in 92/93. Not sure where it ranks all time with chicago but it'd be up there. 169 games in a hawks' uni regular season and playoffs combined.
Definitely one of those players you loved on your team but hated on other teams. I know i shouldn't speak ill of the dead but he was plain and simple a dirty player. He really liked to target the knees.
1009 total nhl games including playoffs. That's a lot of games for a guy who played his style of hockey.
RIP
Edit: marchment's 313 minutes ranks 5th all time in hawks PIM/season.
Peluso 91/92 408 min.
Manson 88/89 352 min.
Probert 96/97 426 min.
Peluso 90/91 320 min.
Marchment 92/93 313 min.
Steve Smith 91/92 304 min.
Secord/Van Dorp 81/82 & 89/90 303 min.
Manson 89/90 301 min.
Magnuson 70/71 289 min.
31st all time in regular season penalty minutes (entire league) at 2307 min.

during 24 game unbeaten streak to start 2013, emery went 10-0-0, .925 and 2.02 and at season's end he was 17-1-0, .922 and 1.94. jennings trophy for him and crow. one game in particular was a february game in calgary. hawks were outshot 47-19 and we won in o/t. many here will remember because it was a memorable game for more than one reason.
"That was criminal," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "They've got to call the cops after that performance. (Emery) stole two points. He was spectacular.
"I've never ever been outplayed, outchanced like that in my life. That was a special performance and it continued on in the shootout."web.archive.org/web/20130207062322/http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2012020116 |

Former Hawks coach Orval Tessier died a couple days ago at age 89. Mount Orval RIP. Famous quote from Tessier during the 1983 Campbell Conference finals, Tessier was quoted as saying that the Blackhawks players needed "heart transplants" after giving up 16 goals in the first two games of the series against the Edmonton Oilers and trailing in the series 2 games to 0. Tessier won the Stanley Cup in 2001 with the Colorado Avalanche while serving as a scout for the team |

ex blackhawk lou angotti has died at age 83. played for 5 different teams but the vast majority of his games was in a hawks' uni. (370 games across 6 seasons) he was also the flyer's first ever captain. RIP.  ^^ that's a hockey player's nose right there. Lou Angoti and Eric Nesterenko, the blackhawks penalty killers par excellence. When they came out on the ice, the crowd would chant 'Lou, Lou, Lou". Takes me way back. |
