"I had my goal and I was focusing to achieve that goal," Hossa said on Wednesday evening ahead. Finally, in 2010, he reached his ultimate goal with the Blackhawks, helping lead the team to their first of three championships in his first six years with the team.
He first made it to the cusp with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2008 Stanley Cup Final, then in 2009 with the Detroit Red Wings - both times watching his opponent lift Lord Stanley at the end of the series. When the former right winger first joined the NHL back in 1997, he set a goal for himself to one day win the Stanley Cup. On Sunday evening, Marian Hossa will watch as his number 81 rise high into the rafters of the United Center, becoming the seventh player in Chicago Blackhawks history to have his jersey retired.
