Bobby Hull had to go.
It’s true now in 2022 and it’s been true since he was hired as an ambassador by the Chicago Blackhawks. Anything he did on the ice was overshadowed by his horrendous words and actions off the ice. That he was around for so long was an embarrassment for this organization.
It’s never too late to do the right thing, and it’s a relief that the the Blackhawks finally arrived at that conclusion. It’s hard to find any reason to give credit or praise because of how long it took for this choice to be made — and the tumult of the last year had to be an influence on this decision.
