They were our boys and we were behind them. And though I can't say I had any one personal favorite, I did have a great deal of respect and admiration for the way one particular Blackhawk played. When Al Secord first pulled on a Blackhawks sweater midway through the season, it marked the beginning of an era that few fans will ever forget. The rugged winger was quickly taken into the collective hearts of the Stadium faithful.
In no time, Secord epitomized the popular s phrase "hard Hawks hockey! A quick check of the stats reveals that in the history of the NHL, Secord is the only player ever to record at least 50 goals in one season and at least penalty minutes in another. Secord's ferocity was most often seen by his opponents, but his ability to score goals was also a tremendous asset to the teams of the 80's.
His shot was strong and accurate and if he didn't score with a long-range bomb, he would go to the front of the net, trade elbows, shoves, cross-checks and punches with whomever was there. He'd often find a loose puck and either deflect it, redirect it or fire it into the opposition net. A goal season in also featured penalty minutes was followed by a goal effort in ; only Bobby Hull has scored more goals 58 for the Blackhawks in a single season. Secord's toughness and underrated level of skill would come to be appreciated by his teammates and every Blackhawks fan.
As that line took the ice, Secord could be seen eyeing Blackhawks opponents while he quickly took his position on the ice, then went about his physical style. Every opposing player knew when Al Secord was on the ice and most tried to avoid him. With a hard-driven shoulder he could jolt an opponent off the puck, ride him into the boards or deftly take the puck away with a skilled lifting of a stick or poke-check.
With a simple cold stare, Secord could also paralyze an opponent with fear. Secord would sometimes run an opponent with a body check and He then either got back into the play because the opponent wanted no part of him or the gauntlets came off. When tempers flared on the ice -- as they often did in those days -- Secord could routinely be found in the middle of the fracas. On many a night at the Stadium, Secord would take the ice for a shift to cheers from the crowd.
The sense of anticipation for what might happen next always kept fans on the edge of their seats and -- almost inevitably -- the payoff came.
Secord would sometimes run an opponent with a body check and often added a terrifying alpha-dog stare, and then either got back into the play because the opponent wanted no part of him, or, the gauntlets came off and it was anchors aweigh!
