[QUOTE="South Farms, post: 1304193, member: 590046"] There was really not a whole lot of difference between the Hawks and Leafs since 1970. Both teams took their rabid fanbases for granted. The old man died on 9-26-2007, but he had already started to cede some control to Rocky before that. The transformation of the Hawks since about the time Toews & Kane got on the ice along with the passing of the old man, is one of the more remarkable stories in pro sports. There is probably a pretty good 30-for-30 in there somewhere. I mean, for 30 years, the Hawks just about tried to give 15-20 W's away every year by refusing to pay players what they were worth. The players they avoided in the draft or traded away for next to nothing is legendary [/QUOTE]
