I collected as many of his hockey cards as I could get, and hoped to meet him someday. Phill was actually a cousin of my dad's, which was really cool, and made me proud that I had a relative who played in the NHL.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158956468129166600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353421.post-1721473458455707792015-02-19T12:45:10.731-08:002015-02-19T12:45:10.731-08:00Hi Phil, I was a fav of yours growing up I had yo...Hi Phil, I was a fav of yours growing up I had your jersey and met you in Weibolts in Ford City in Chicago on Feb. 19th 1976.

I don't think he had the proper guidance to exploit his talents, otherwise he would have played at least twenty years and scored a heck of a lot more points. As for Chicago shaking things up by trading him... look at Chicago's track record. Any team that let's Bobby Hull go and trades away their strongest blueliner isn't dealing with a full deck.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories Phil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
