The Punchline

So basically, my job is to make sure those pests don't pester my top guys.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And so when we would go into a game, I would know exactly who to pinpoint because, you know, you do your scouting and I would go up to those guys and I would say, hey, listen, if you're going to do that, I'm going to put my fist through your face.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And more often than not, just the fear of

Radiolab
The Punchline

The retribution, if they did something, would stop them.

Radiolab
The Punchline

But if they did do something, my job was to beat them up.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And as a hockey player, I was a heck of a fighter when I made the NHL.

Radiolab

John Scott can really punch people.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And Scott hammered him with the right hand.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Oh, jeez.

Radiolab
The Punchline

So John would take care of the pass?

Radiolab
The Punchline

They wouldn't fight.

Radiolab
The Punchline

I would usually grab their tough guy and beat him up.

Radiolab
The Punchline

If we were playing flat and we didn't have energy, I would go out and try to fight to get my guys going.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Or if it was a really bad hit, I would just grab that guy and I would beat his doors off.

Radiolab
The Punchline

It's funny, throughout my career, I really hated fighting.

Radiolab
The Punchline

There was days where I wouldn't sleep at night just because I knew I was going to get into a fight.

Radiolab
The Punchline

But you just do your job.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And I think I did my job well.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Well enough that John was able to make a career in the NHL.

Radiolab
The Punchline

It's everything you dream of as a kid.
