Why he might be annoying
He never played his first organized hockey game until he was 17.
Despite his status as a Hawks legend, he spend his final NHL season with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He was extremely undersized for a defenseman.
He notoriously knocked out Maurice and Henri Richard cold during the same game.
Despite his status as a Chicago legend, his jersey wasn't retired until 40 years after his last game as a member of the team.
Why he might not be annoying
He was a member of the Black Hawks most recent Stanley Cup championship team (1961).
He had an ironman streak of 348 games from 1956-57 to 1961-62.
He and Elmer Vasko formed a reliable defensive tandem during the 1960's.
He was on a postage stamp series issued by Canada Post for their Legends of Hockey series.
In a classy gesture, the Hawks announced they intended to retire #3 in honor of both Pilote and the late Keith Magnuson in a joint ceremony (2008).
