Bobby Hull (Belleville, ON) Patrick Kane (Buffalo, NY) Jeremy Roenick (Boston, MA)
…A feel good tune, for anyone who could use one…on this Friday. It’s the best team song ever, and represents a storied franchise. Kane (He’s the greatest Hawk ever) and his # will be retired hanging up there with the likes of Bobby Hull’s one day, but I think JR and Chris Chelios are just as deserving of that honor. Jeremy Roenick was one of my favorite players of that 90’s era, and he deserves to be in the HHOF as well, I’m sure I’m biased as I grew up in Boston and being that he was from there, he had a lot of fans in Mass back in the day, but regardless, his numbers speak for themselves really. Another one of those rarities, straight from high school to the NHL, a generational talent. A combination of skill, grit, ferocity, a big hitter, and a prodigious goal scorer as well. Always entertaining and colorful too. The NHL needs and severely misses people like JR. He was definitely a hero for hockey players from MA and the rest of the country. (anyone pick up the little NHL 94 organ theme of this song at the beginning?)
