Ongoing NHL Thread - Part Bedards and Ballards

He was the worst fighter that I can ever recall. He had absolutely no balance and could not stay on his skates, I remember Troy Mallette, when he played for the Rangers used to just toss him around like a ragdoll, he didn't even have to punch him, just threw him around and slammed him to the ice every time they fought.

He might have stayed on his feet the longest for this fight.


The only he ever got lucky is if he happen to fall on top of the opponent otherwise it was a joke.

Here is another bad one:


And Lange said it best on this one at 20 seconds. He sounded shocked when he said Jay was doing a good job keeping his balance.



He flops and falls so much I am amazed a skate never severely injured another player.

We gave Zack Stortini the nickname "Huggy Bear" because that's all that he would do - Just tie up the arms of his opponents until the linesmen moved in to break it up. I guess Zack was more of a lover than a fighter.

The :10 mark of the Probert fight sums up that plugs whole career lol

Granted Jay is a very nice guy and one of their better in studio commentators.

Yeah, Jay is pretty good with the studio work. And then there's Colby Armstrong, woof that guy is terrible.

I just turned onto the Penguins pregame, which I rarely watch and Caufield is on there now with Craig Patrick. I had no idea he was working for Pittsburgh Sportsnet. There are so many of these guys who do these pregame, post game, interviews etc. you can't even keep track of them

Insert Lemieux era player and they are on the broadcast.

Seriously, they have way too many! Also I sent a stern e-mail telling them to make sure there are spoilers before any closeup of Tyler Kennedy!

NOTE: Robby Brown and his bad hair plugs would be awesome.

Olivier and Gilbert fought on the opening faceoff in response to *checks notes* the Sabres not standing up for Tage Thompson.


Well, we have sure learned not to hit the guy who isn't playing.
