Long time Leaf fan here but I know who the greats were and Stan Mikita was one of them. A crafty great play maker and one of the greatest leaders the Black Hawks ever had.

Yes indeed. I was just a little kid in Toronto in the late 60's and my favorite players were Dave Keon .... and Chicago Blackhawk Stan Mikita!

When I was in seventh grade ‘69-‘70, I read Stan’s book “I play to Win”. I gained so much respect for Stan after reading his book. Although I’m a Bruin’s fan, I always had a soft spot for Mikita. Compliments to Sarah for a very good interview. Asking cogent questions and allowing the interviewee to speak is the mark of a good journalist/reporter.

My first helmet was the Stan Mikita helmet which I wore for a long time. That helmet saved my skull in a bad crash. I replaced it with the helmet of the day.

Great interview Sarah. You have a quick and sly sense of humor and you brought the best out of Stan. He was such a unique, great and sophisticated talent and a high quality person. Rest in peace Stan.

i SAW Gretzky FIFTY YEARS . ONLY HIS NAME THEN WAS STAN MIKITA . STAN DID EVERYTHING GRETZKY DID .../. ONLY HE DID IT 50 YEARS AGO . THE BLIND PASSES TO NOWHERE THAT WOUND UP IN THE NET .... THE UNBELIEVABLE STICK HANDLING ... AND HE PLAYED THE GAME AT BOTH ENDS . iF YOU EVER SEE A GOOD VIDEO OF STAN IT WILL MAKE YOUR EYES POP OUT ... HE CONTRLED THE PACE OF THE GAME ... HE WAS THE TOP PLAY MAKER F HIS DAY ... EVEN JEAN BELIVEAU COULDN'T DO WHAT STAN DID WITH THE PUCK . Stan was a much better two way player than HULL ... Stan was the most complete player of his day ,,, winning Heart trophies - scoring championships and even Lady Bing trophies ... the only player in NHL history to win a TRIPPLE Crown '... and >>>> he did it twice > IN A ROW ... NOT EVEN GRETZHY DID THAT >>> !!!!!!!!!!!! Quite possibly the least credited superstore all time player ... again .... and i saw gretzky 50 years ago when his name was STAN MIKITA

Sarah is excellent. She is informed, very engaging and lets Stan talk. Then she shows she has a sense of humor and personality. This is how it should be done.
