    Chris and Tim, and all, Merry Christmas...!!
    I was never a "brawler"...My first time i saw a game was in Uniundale LI
    A fight broke out within 19 seconds from the start. ( Nystrom vs> ??)..
    I was a kid with the Scouts, (the place went nuts!!)...
    We had crazy schools too...i could never understand how people stood around while two kids beat the crap out of each other...but that is the way it is...
    Thanks for edifying me about human behavior....We can Hate to the terrible thought of homicide...yet we are capable of doing wonderful acts of love...And we are capable of Forgiveness....(how Crazy is this life we share !? ?)
    I flew head over heels and hit my head on the rough ashalt street when i was young...(thank God my wife has good medical insurance)!!!
    Great questions!
    May God Bless you All!

    Hey Knucks, what do you think would have happened if you had played for Mike Keenan? Do you think you guys would have clashed at some point?
    The Reaper gives a fantastic interview here. I remember watching clips of him in the 90s and being in total disbelief that he was the same guy who was such a terror on skates throughout the 90s. Props to him for finding a successful career after hockey.

Would be great to see Nick Fotiu and Val James who were also the top of their time as well. As far as Grimson fighting smaller guys I would say Rocky Thompson held his own the best against Grimson.

I've loved this game for six decades, but you bring out aspects I was only subliminally aware of. This game hurts. But it's a good hurt.

      Their were many NHL Champs, Behn Wilson, Dave Brown, Bob Probert, Sandy McCarthy, Tony Twist, George Laraque and Donald Brashear. All these guys beat Probert in fights. Behn Wilson vs Probert was a draw. Probert couldn't beat Behn Wilson. Bob started swinging when the refs intervened in between both fighters on Feb 17,1988. 6 days later on Feb 23,1988 Probert jumped Brown with a cheap shot elbow too Brown's face while Brown was holding his stick. The Gloves dropped with Brown feeding Probert with 4 solid punches. Probert was stunned and quickly grabbed on to Brown's shoulders. Probert was in waltz me around willy mode. Brown smoked him with 2 more punches to Probert's cheek. Bob was cautious and tried a WIMPY HALFER upper cut that hit Brown on his shoulder pad. That upper cut couldn't remash mashed potatoes. 😂 Steve Yzerman's face told the truth. Probert met the real deal NHL heavyweight champ Dave Brown. Probert couldn't earn a win vs Behn Wilson or the champ Brown. Probert never amounted to a bean fart vs those 2 top elite fighters of the 1980's decade. 😮

    Geez. What a great interview. This is such a great podcast. I really enjoyed this one along with Todd Fedoruk, Jay Miller ,Dave Brown and Claude Lemieux interviews. Growing up in the state of Rhode Island . I was always a Montreal fan. Meaning that I did not have a lot of hockey fans as friends. Loved you in Montreal but cheered against you when you were in Boston. You have an awesome podcast. Never thought I would get to see all these players I grew up watching again. Just wondering if you were planning on getting Rob Ray, Ken Baumgartner or Marty McSorley on in the future. Thanks a lot for the entertainment.

Gary said at that point Nicky had a long fuse and rarely looked to fight but hated getting hit and that was when he would get angry.

    Ep 27 Grapes come on your show Never mentioned this during his interview. AND Ep 60 you laugh at him getting fired.(Turncoats) Grapes explained it and "walked it back?" There was never a winning lawsuit or you would have sued . The whole point of the movie Gladiators was ANIT FIGHTING and the damage fighting is causing the players. And you guys all contributed to it and are proof positive that fighting has effected the enforcers from the 1980s-2006. Yon know I love the show - but I don't like turncoats like you are here. Grapes made the point (maybe had some names off but you were in the doc) that a bunch of fighter are now anti fighting - which is exactly what the message of Gladiators was and of course they use Probert as the key piece.
