I couldn't agree more
Quote:
But more than anyone, this is for Keith Magnuson, who wore his heart on his sleeve and the crest on his chest until the day he died, and no one would have taken greater pleasure in seeing his sweater stand last.
Maggie was the one who never left, not for any reason or anyone. No matter how much he may have hated what was done to his beloved team, and the men who did it, he never walked away.
He never wavered.
The man who bled for his team more than any player in Hawks history would have given anything to see this day, to see his boys dancing with Lord Stanley's sacred bowl.
He would have felt like he was part of it, because, well, he would have been.
Maggie wasn't just a legend of the fall and winter, and he didn't show up when paid to wave to the cameras.
He was always around the team, even in the worst of times, and he came to symbolize what love for the uniform meant.
Lord, how he would have loved this moment.
It is not the same without him, but of this we are certain:
You can rest in peace now, Maggie, for the ghost of Henri Richard is never more.
Your Chicago Blackhawks are Stanley Cup champions.
