Mikita got beat for the Ross 2x by Hull; what yrs? Trekphiler 07:43, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Only once, actually, in 1966. In Hull's two other Ross years, he beat out Bronco Horvath in 1960 and Andy Bathgate in 1962. Mikita beat out Hull in 1964 and 1967, and Phil Esposito beat him out in 1969. RGTraynor 11:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ucle & Aunt Mikita clarification

We need clarication here. Is Mr.Mikita, Stan's maternal uncle? or is Mrs.Mikita, Stan's maternal or paternal aunt? GoodDay 20:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "generally regarded as the best center of the 1960s"

I won't debate that at all. As a kid, Mikita was certainly one of my favorites and remains one of my all-time favorites to this day. But that particular phrasing completely ignores WP:AWW, WP:NPOV and WP:CITE. It's a pretty harmless sentence, other than being weasel worded. surely a reputable web/book bio must have a fairly similar description of the man and can be used as a ref. Just my thoughts anyways.

I would venture to guess that being named the First Team All-Star center six seasons and the Second Team center three seasons in the 1960s, along with four scoring titles, two MVPs, two Byngs, the only possible answer is "who in the hell else?" It would violate NPOV to assert anything else. (Come to that, the Britannica makes the same assertion.)  RGTraynor  02:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
