    An argument can be made that Jim Kyte had the most exciting, balls to the wall, knock out or be knocked out fight card of any heavy. Especially early on. Kluzak, Tim Hunter, Craig Coxe, Dave Brown, Kocur, McSorley, Rob Ray just to name a few off the ol noggin. Do yourself a favor and go down the Jim Kyte youtube hole. You wont be dissapointed.

    @Full Change Podcast: As a Rangers fan, I hated him and especially Bomber. I went to a game at the Coliseum where Mick and Berube tried to fight 4 times before finally being tossed. Also met him one night on Northport, NY at a bar called Napper Tandy’s and was able to shake his hand. Just a regular guy with his name on a plaque in the place for drinking 100 pints of Guinness. Nobody ever mentions it but he had a hat trick one game too I believe.

    You've gotta get Behn Wilson on. One of the very best tough guys from that era, who could also play the game (made an all-star team in 1980 and played a regular 3-4 defense pairing most of his career). He's very seldom interviewed and I'm sure has lots of great stories.

    Thanks a lot for this, Tom. I always wanted to know more about Oliwa and his story. Being a fan in Europe in the mid to late 90s, there wasn't much to go on except monthly magazines and maybe something interesting you could find on Altavista 😄 I liked his story on what he promised Sutter if he would be brought to Calgary, and he delivered on the promise. He had a great season. I was really rooting for him and the entire Flames team to win that cup in '04, it would have been very cool to witness.

    1991 Smythe Division semi finals, Flames vs Oilers, I think it was game 4…. Kyte and Brown square off and Brown absolutely destroyed him.

      No code in that Era, you fought to win no matter what. Pull hair, elbow, headbutt, suckered punch, Purposely untied Jerseys, tight sleeves, drop the gloves faster than your opponents and even kick with skates. The dirtiest fighter was Dave Semenko, I'm surprised he never resorted to biting a guys ear off in close. 😂 Wendel Clark was the King of Jumpers by a country mile. Semenko and Crowder were specialists as well. Brown jumped some guys, and what other players didn't. War on skates!
