Bobby Hull on Curve sticks

Love hearing a Bobby Hull story. RIP.

Yeah! That one about Cheesie VACATING the net I heard before, but found it unbelievable, before I researched how WACKY Cheesie was? Discretion IS the better part of valour?!? L0L

Phil Esposito said if they would have had Bobby Hull and Bobby Orr for the Summit series they would have destroyed the Russians!

[@jeffclark7888]

He did say that and I agree with him. Almost criminal that Clarence Campbell did not allow Bobby Hull to play in the Summit Series.

[@mike196212]

I agree. No question.

[@mike196212]

@Jim Wade Okay. I didn't say it. Phil apparently did.

[@stumarston6812]

Definitely they were Canada's two best players but if Hull had played then Henderson probably would not have. Henderson scored the game winners in games 6, 7 and 8. So it seems strange to say, but maybe Canada was better off not having Hull play.

[@rossonphillips]

@@stumarston6812 Interesting perspective and yes Paul was the magic man. Although I wonder how Tretiak would have dealt with Hull's cannon with the piddly protection the goalie's had back then. I remember when the Jets beat that same Russian team in '76 Hull played that game like a man possessed!

R.I.P Bobby Hull

[@mr.blackhawk142]

YES! I was BLUE for a few weeks after Bobby died! I've NEVER felt like that about any other celebrity dying!

[@nedcurtis5111]

I watched him in Chicago stadium from 1962 to 1970, and he was awesome. His speed, especially considering the skates at that time, I feel would be unsurpassed today, and remember he was strong! As even Gordie Howe said, Bobby was very hard to knock off the puck. I remember him busting the plexiglas with a wood stick.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

He busted the plexiglass using a wood stick by shooting the PUCK...

Bobby Hull is still one of the top 5 hockey players in history. Additionally, Bobby's toupee is THE GREATEST HAIR PIECE IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS!

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Who are the 4 ahead of Hull??? This should be fun! The ONLY player better than Hull was Orr, and not by much either. Gordie Howe was up there too of course. Gretzky was the BEST at .....RINGETTE! (DON'T HIT ME). HE WAS PROTECTED BY THE REFS/NHL and why his stats were inflated.

The Golden Jet. He destroyed the Flyers single handedly in 1971 Stanley Cup and in Game 3 and 4 at the Spectrum in Philly. A sign that night. Bobby... Go to Hull.

James, that was probably the Philly Fan with the afro who flashed different signs on TV in the 1960s-70s.

Don Cherry, the true patriot.....the corporate jerks did not have the balls to back Don Cherry up. They suck.

[@yogadr6]

Waaay overdue. That ass finally got booted off the air. Most ignorant 'patriot' ever....

[@Sylonth]

@@yogadr6 I am not so sure about him being ignorant. Passionate about his country, yes, ignorant? No. He has been around long enough to appreciate what Canada represents and proud enough to expect that others that come to his country appreciate the same. .

[@Sylonth]

How so? Why was he ignorant? He loved Canada and was outspoken about it. He was passionate about the love of his country and implored immigrants to share that passion of love. For them to embrace the concept of being a fellow citizen.......a fellow brother or sister.

You'd think since hockey's been around since the late 1800's someone would have figured out the curved stick sooner than the 1960's

[@stumarston6812]

It takes a while. Nobody has invented the curved baseball bat yet.
