He's always listed as a dual citizen....apparently he moved to California at age 14, I don't know if he became a US citizen after that, or at some other time. Not sure.

Believe that Peter was the last helmetless New Jersey Devil . Off the top of my head (pardon the pun), I can also guess John Wensink, Phil Russell, Dwight Foster, and Bob MacMillan as other non helmeted players the Devils had during their early years.

Yes but this photo was reflective of a moment in time and offered something personal.

Rest in Peace ”Bam-Bam”, which was the nickname he earned with Luleå over two seasons with us in the 90s, for which he’s remembered fondly to this day.
Our former backup Erik Granqvist remembered Bautin as such (my translation):
“Shocked reading the tragic news that Bautin’s passed following a period of illness. He was a calm teammate with an interest in movies off the ice. In his suit of armor, he was as tough as they come and cleaned out the area in front of Jarmo Myllys during two seasons in the 90s. If anyone touched Luleå’s star goalie, “Bam-Bam” arrived in an instant and placed them in a pile. I recall our coaches “Osten” and “Brocke” had to have a talk with him after a couple of weeks when he’d heaped up a few misconducts and suspensions. They attempted to explain that a mere demarcation against the players grazing Myllys will often do just fine; no need to level them each and every time. He was something of a lone wolf privately, but he loved armwrestling during parties with the team”.
In an interview from 2018, Magnus Wernblom mentioned Bautin as the toughest player he faced over his 17 seasons in the SHL (again, my translation):
“It wasn’t a lot of fun getting in front of that net. They let more things pass back then and you were allowed to hit each other more. Luleå kept the area in front of their net neat and tidy, and if you attempted going there, you’d feel it. Around the ice as well, you were keen on knowing [Bautin’s] whereabouts since that was a big unit. At the same time, he didn’t do too much dirty stuff, but he was tough as nails and grotesquely strong.”

Goddammit. I came to the sport late and my first favorite teams were the early 1990s Canucks. Loved that dude.

i met him a couple times when i was a kid and gino was just such a generous person. he came to our hockey camp, which later in life i realized was a favour to his power skating coach, and after spending an afternoon on the ice with us he stuck around for freakin' ever until every single kid got every single card signed, and some kids brought stacks. he must have been 21, 22 at the time and was a freakin' legend already. but none of us ever felt like he had better things to do than joke around and scrimmage with us.

Pilote, Mikita, Hull. If feels like we've lost the whole 60s Blackhawks team in the last few years.

An amazing player, a one man offence. Sad to hear the news.
Today when a honored member of a hockey team has his number retired it is full blown extravaganza. That was not the case in 1983 when the Blackhawks hoisted #9 to the rafters at Chicago Stadium.
This video only exists because somebody at WSBK-TV Boston recorded the raw video coming from Chicago and saved it. Obviously nobody in Chicago saw it and viewers in Boston only saw what is in part 2 when announcers Fred Cusick and John Pierson went live.
This is simply fascinating to watch.

I miss the simplicity of the game presentation, with the PA announcer straightforwardly reading material rather than making a literal circus act of it.
Noteworthy in that first video, it would have taken some dedication in 1983 to find a blank Blackhawks jersey and screen-print it with a number and custom message.
I question his wrist shot being 105 MPH.GO, BOBBY! GO—TO BEAT THE MAGIC 50

I met Hull once in 2002 or 2003 at a hockey convention in the Twin Cities. He was sitting at a table talking with someone. After the attendee finished I went up to him with my son and my sons friend and talked for a bit with him. Took a pic with me and told me a story
how facing a new goalie, he once in a while shot deliberately
high but wide of the goalies head to rattle him...lol.
Was very cordial and friendly. I worked with his teammate Doug Mohns for a couple of years in the Rehab field in the Boston area.
