When a guy like Bobby Hull voices his opinion on something about hockey, you tend to listen. And when a guy like Bobby Hull tends to voice his opinion on something about hockey, it is generally right.
Hull was asked about how the Blackhawks will perform in Game 6, and let's just say he believes there will be one more game in Anaheim.
“I fearlessly predict that the Hawks are going to come out ready to play, and there will be a seventh game, and that’s the one we’ll have to watch,” Hull said on the The Jeff Blair Show on Sportsnet The Fan 590.
But Hull took it a step further. He doesn't just think Chicago will win Game 6...
“I’ve gotta believe that the Blackhawks are the guys with the big hearts and the most character and you’ll see that in the Finals playing for the Stanley Cup again this year,” Hull said.
The two-time Hart Trophy winner, three-time Art Ross winner and Hockey Hall of Famer won a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Black hawks in the 1960-61 season. Hull is the franchise's all-time leading goal scorer, with 604 goals. He's also second all-time in franchise points, with 1153, 596 more than Patrick Kane and 647 more than Jonathan Toews. But that doesn't mean Hull doesn't have a tremendous amount of respect for the superstar Kane and the Blackhawks captain.
“You see what Patrick Kane can do when he’s hot. When he’s hot, he’s like a pepper sprout," Hull said. "And when Johnny Toews takes over, he is the best player in the National Hockey League."
So if we are to believe The Golden Jet himself, we better brace ourselves for another big Game 7.
