Rookie Blackhawk making big impact
When the Calder Trophy for the NHL’s top rookie is given out this summer, there’s a good chance you’ll hear the name of Chicago Blackhawks’ right winger Eric Daze.

The movie ostensibly stars Paul Newman as Chiefs’ playercoach Reg Dunlop, but the real stars are the Hanson Brothers, three long-haired bespectacled goofs who raise tripping, high…
