STAN MIKITA INTERVIEW

Stan Mikita reviews his career with TSN's Paul Romanuk. 1995 or 1996. Mikita developed the curved stick blade and made early improvements in helmets,advancing their level of comfort and their degree of protection. He also proposed curved blue lines. Yes, curved blue lines to allow the wingers to proceed the center into the offensive zone. Not a bad idea although linesmen might not like the difficulty in calling offsides.

I remember sneaking my sisters transistor radio into my bed and listening to Stan’s 500th goal. So long ago. Thanks for the memories Stan. RIP

I HEAR TELL that Stan was not good with the public Hull called him a rascal for his surley demeanor , and usaed to kid Stan about his stand off ish manor .
He was my favorite player and I am somewhat glad that i never met him as a kid , that would have been a major disapppointment .
on a positive note ,,, people tat oooooh and awww about Gretzky m never saw Stan play ,,,Stan was the original Gretzky ,,, backwards passes to nowhere that wound up in the net .
Stan was te smoothest player i ever saw ... Gretzky must have found Stans videos and learned from them ... because everything Gretzky did .... Stan did 3o years earlier ... just ask HULL >
