Always kinda underrated I think. Here's the guys who have won more Art Ross Trophies: Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, Espo, Jagr. That list is pretty much all royalty.

Ahead of his time. Shook off the shackles of "old school" hockey and was a better player because of it.

RIP

Sad day, another legend gone. I remember watching him at the Olympia, always watched for him when the Hawks were in town.

RIP Stan the man.

Mikita was a big star when I was a little boy and I loved his name...it was very Chicago. I also liked the Dracula-like point in his hair.
You could take one look at that mug and tell that he didn't mind fighting...we had Slovakian neighbors and I have to say that the lady of that house bore more than a passing resemblance to Stan.
Sad news!
