    Hall of Famer Pierre Pilote, who won a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1961, died Saturday at the age of 85, the team announced.

    "The Chicago Blackhawks offer our sincere condolences to the family of Pierre Pilote as we mourn his passing," the team said in a statement. "Pierre was one of the most decorated defenseman in NHL history and was a valuable member of the 1961 Stanley Cup championship team. He will be remembered for his toughness, leadership and reliability on the ice -- as proven by his captaincy and streak of 376 consecutive games played. We will forever be grateful for his incredible contribution to the Blackhawks and the game of hockey."

    I think I saw him play, when I was a boy. I remember the Blackhawks had both Esposito brothers for a short while.
