his original name was Guoth/Gvoth which is i believe one of the more easily pronounceable slovak names... anyway he is one of the hockey best ever playes...still very highly thought of here in his home country...we were very proud of him and we still are...Rip legendary stan mikita
Sounded like he was one heck of a player and really enjoyed his tribute the other night. Thanks for doing this video Shannon, its cool when players spend there whole career with one team!
Stan Mikita will be miss and he is watching the Hawks with the Hockey Gods to support his team. He was the 1st Blackhawks to get his number retired.#ForeverABlackhawk
I moved to the Chicago area not far from Aurora in '98. Very bummed to learn that Stan Mikita's Donuts wasn't real. Some years later I was working in a video store and discovered Mikita had a rental account. Alas, he never came to the store while I was there. A legend always eluded me. RIP.
In 1968 I was a little immigrant boy to Toronto. Watched this new thing called hockey with my Dad and uncles ..... Dave Keon and Stan Mikita quickly became my favorite players.
Stan Mikita is my all-time favorite hockey player. I think Patrick Marleau's career is similar, a solid player who gets it done without ever having that one or two super-seasons.
Neither have most players, many in the HOF. Re-read what I said. Good production over a long career. Nowhere did I say Marleau was in the same class as Mikita.
The 97 points that Mikita had in 68-69 were an NHL record. Those 4 scoring titles in 5 years were 'super' seasons for the time period. Patrick Marleau isn't even in the same conversation as Stan Mikita.
Very nice video Shannon. Mikita really was one hell of a player. I was wondering maybe for a video idea do a Brett Hull/Bobby Hull video. Would be great to see them side by side representing their vastly different eras :)
He had a very interesting background story. Basically his parents let his uncle and aunt to adopt him, so he could live in Canada instead of the communist Czechoslovakia. He lived with them since the age of eight, therefore I assume the pronounciation of the name had nothing to do with the change.
Did you hear about an insane game in KHL today? Salavat ufa won against avangard omsk 3-2. Ufa having only 11 shots on goal and omsk 61 shots on goal. What happened? Would love to hear some opinion from you that how this can happen?

I wish I was older to have been able to watch a player like him play. One of my favorite European players ever.

Great video! 👍
First European born player to hit 1000 points.
First European-BORN player. If only European-TRAINED players are included, the first one is a fellow Slovak, Peter Stastny.
One of a kind.

No mention of his donut shop?
Everybody knew Mikita back in the old days-a legendary player.

When I think of Stan Mikita, the first thing I think of is Stan Mikita's Donuts in the movie Wayne's World
It's the best place to get a s------be----y ----ksha---e
greatest movie ever, wish that store existed now
When I was a kid, of course Keon was my favorite player. In spite of Mikita playing for Chicago, he was a close second.
Highly respected and talented player
A video on Michel Goulet would be nice !
*I saw him play, him and Hull (and the jersey) are the reason why Chicago is my 2nd team i cheer the most.*
RIP Stosh
great video. in my opinion, the greatest Blackhawk of all is Stan Mikita. RIP Stosh
His real name was Stanislav Guoth

Rocket Jones no, Patrick has never been near Art or Hart.

One of my favorite players from the past. Excellent skater, creative, tough for a small guy.
Tough period, Before he transition his game he backed down from nobody, he gave it as well as he took it. My man no. 21 forever.
As a hawks fan he’s definitely my favourite Blackhawk legend
Very good. Do one on The Rocket
Jeremy May Not only that, there are so many storylines. He was Quebec's hero
Love it.
Save the eulogy for family and close people who knew him personally.
You're The HOCKEY Guy.
EXCELLENT!! PARTY ON!!!

PLEASE do one on Dale Hunter!!
R.I.P. 😔
He's the 2nd 🐐

On god this guy is my great uncle
Great great. .. stick handler. Passer..
nice. my birthday is today
rip
😊
So obviously Don Cherry didn’t like him. All jokes aside he was a very great player.
I can imagine that his point totals would have been even greater if he didn’t have such a rough time with penalties.
