Former Blackhawks star Marian Hossa was a fitting presence at Soldier Field on Sunday, as the rebuilding Bears blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter in a 31-30 loss to the Lions — a reminder of a universal truth in sports: Great players teach you how to win.
Hossa was an ironic final piece to the Blackhawks’ rebuild — a player who came here in search of a tantalizingly elusive championship ring, and ended up being the critical addition that put the Blackhawks over the top in 2009-10 to start a run of three Stanley Cups in six seasons.
