My Take
Bobby Hull, to me, is hockey history written in golden streaks down the ice. The blond hair, the ferocious slap shot, the end-to-end rushes that earned him the nickname "the Golden Jet" — opponents respected him so much they'd assign a man just to shadow him, which tells you everything. Two Hart Trophies, three Art Ross titles, the Order of Canada and a Hall of Fame berth back up the legend. The Point Anne, Ontario native who passed in 2023 belongs firmly in any honest conversation about the greatest ever, and that skating still lingers in the memory.
