Marian Hossa was clearly a big part of the three Stanley Cups the Chicago Blackhawks won in a six-year period, but would they have won them without him?
Blackhawks president and CEO John McDonough doesn’t think so. McDonough was on the Blackhawks Talk Podcast in a 1-on-1 interview with Pat Boyle and discussed Hossa’s legacy, among other topics.
“My feeling is the Chicago Blackhawks do not win a Stanley Cup, let alone three, without Marian Hossa,” McDonough said. “It’s not just because of his performance on the ice. Sometimes culturally it’s just to be in the same locker room with a guy who comports himself professionally, knows how to win, great work ethic, terrific habits.
