He also won his own own trophy....
In 1974 Mr.Hockey won the Gordie Howe Trophy...
Howes that for an accomplishment!!!!!!
andyson: mathia14:Eddie O ? Didn't ring a bell. I had to look him up. I was already in Arizona and couldn't follow the Hawks well when he played for the Hawks (No internet yet) I do remember Tony E., but his nickname I thought is Tony O as in shutout being the goalie. Sad to hear of Mikita's health problems. One could argue he's the greatest Blackhawk of all time. I met him a couple of times and was stunned by the scars on his face. Back in the days, no helmet, no visor, smelling salts or stitch 'em up and then send 'em back on the ice.

Now HE WAS THE ULTIMATE HOCKEY PLAYER OF HIS TIME. Even thought I am a Bobby Hull fan, Gordie was the man. yeah, he was on Detroit and I dislike the Red Wings, but RIP Gordie.
