Dale Tallon's name should be on the Cup

There have been more than a few mistakes - mostly misspellings -- on the Stanley Cup in its 118-year history. Dale Tallon's name not being on it would be as big as any of them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Tallon, ousted as the Hawks' general manager prior to this season, wasn't forgotten during the Hawks' historic run to their first Stanley Cup championship since 1961. (Kudos to Tallon's successor Stan Bowman -- in no less awkward a position as Tallon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], having replaced him in a controversial move with his father's imprint on it -- for sincerely and personally acknowledging Tallon's role during the playoffs).) Hawks president John McDonough said Tallon will get a Hawks championship ring. Good for him.
But there's one indelible step the Hawks can take to give Tallon the credit he truly deserves: having his name engraved with the rest of the players,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coaches and staff members who made it all possible.
It's hard to refute the notion that the Hawks' championship validated the equally controversial move of firing Denis Savard as coach and replacing him with Joel Quenneville,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But Tallon's dismissal was wrong then and is just as wrong now. The Hawks might not have won with Savard behind the bench. But they certainly would have won with Tallon as GM,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
When it comes to identifying those who took the Hawks from the muck of NHL bottom-feeders to the Stanley Cup, Tallon's name is No. 1 on the list. Followed by Quenneville,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jonathan Toews,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Patrick Kane,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Duncan Keith,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Denis Savard, Stan Bowman and Rocky Wirtz. With all due respect, John McDonough and Scotty Bowman are further down the list.
McDonough's contributions can't be ignored -- getting home games on TV, the Hawks convention, reconnecting legends Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita and Tony Esposito with the franchise. But the Hawks would have won the Stanley Cup without them.
Scotty Bowman is the greatest hockey coach of all time. He undoubtedly made an impact on the Hawks. But let's not overstate it. Quenneville could have been sitting next to Terry Bevington on the plane home from Philadelphia after Game 4 and the Hawks still would have won the Stanley Cup. For the record,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Quenneville changed up the lines during Game 4. It was the success he had with it in the third period of the 5-3 loss that encouraged him to continue it in Game 5.
And the whole line-changing angle is overstated. The one common thread throughout the playoffs is that the Hawks turned it on and grasped control of a series when they absolutely had to. They did that in each series. The only time they did it early was against San Jose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when starting on the road created urgency earlier than the others.
Changing up the lines against the Flyers in the Finals was tactically brilliant, but more a signal that -- down 4-1 in Game 4 -- enough was enough and it was time to turn it on. The Hawks were going to outplay the Flyers from that point on no matter who was on which line. That's why Chris Pronger was stopping everybody in Games 1-4 and nobody in Games 5-6.
The line changes magnified the effect. But that's because the Hawks were not only the deepest team in the playoffs, but the most versatile. Other teams changed lines against the Hawks without success. It worked for Quenneville because anybody could play with anybody. Patrick Sharp moved to center. Dustin Byfuglien from defense to forward. So many two-way players. So many grinders who could score on a breakaway or fire a slap shot past a goalie without any "traffic" in front of the net.
It was a special team in that regard, with a combination of speed, depth and versatility we'll probably not see for awhile.
And who was most responsible for that?
Dale Tallon. His name should be on the Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
