...that search, Reporter Mark Goodman spent eleven days with this week's cover subject, Hockey Superstar Bobby Hull, observing the man at home, in his car, on the rink, at work on radio commercials, in his lawyer's office, in a bar, signing autographs in a barbershop. Part of the reporting and most of the in-house research for Sport is done by Researcher Geraldine Kirshenbaum, who is often amused when sports people get nervous about having a feminine reporter around. Some hockey public relations men tried to keep her away from the players "because their language...
...last, the inevitable caught up with Oakland. The scoreboard clock read only three minutes to play when Chicago's Bobby Hull swooped in from left wing and scooped up the puck. Whoosh! he flashed across the Oakland blue line. Wham! he absorbed a brutal check from Seal Defender George Swarbrick that seemed to stagger him. Hull's shoulders sagged, his curved stick came up, and for the briefest instant, Swarbrick relaxed. Whap! Hull's stick slashed downward; 25 ft. away, Goalie Hodge could not even begin to react as the rock-hard rubber disk, traveling at better...

Yet over eleven incredible seasons, during which the game itself has flourished as never before, Bobby Hull has established himself as the most dominant figure hockey has known and left his indelible imprint on the record book...
Only two other men in N.H.L. history-Richard and Montreal's Bernie ("Boom Boom") Geoffrion-have scored 50 goals in a season; each hit 50 on the nose and did it only once. Hull scored 50 in 1961-62, then 54 in 1965-66 and 52 last season; his game-winning goal against the Seals last week was his 41st of this year, with 15 games still to play. Bobby holds a bagful of assorted other records, including most seasons scoring 40 goals or more (five), and most points-counting both goals and assists-scored in a season...
