Rocky Wirtz’s balls
Not only did he reject his old man’s adamant refusal to put the Hawks on TV and make efforts to mend the broken relationship with legend Bobby Hull, he canned coach Denis Savard after only four games of the 2008-2009 campaign as soon as he realized he didn’t like where the team was headed.
Audience choice:
Televised games
Audience comments: “Ice girls”; “They would have never let Bobby Hull leave. I used to watch every game on TV, listen to every game on the radio. They broke my heart. They let my hero get away. I never came back”; “Young, cute players.”
