I never saw him play. But I hear he was basically Pronger, but better.
- jmatchett383


Yup, a faster, even more skilled Pronger is a good description. He's right up there with Ray Bourque as the 2nd best dman I ever saw

MacT was PISSED.

And I would have loved to have heard what Hextall said to Bureau on the way off the ice.

Pearson, maybe?

That was the first Hextall fight I ever saw. He looks so old in the video with his big bald patch.

Yeah. But The Hockey News ranked Karlsson 711st overall (and 29th among defensemen). At least I had him in my top 10
- bmeltzer




Hockey News is god awful. I saw Columbus ahead of everyone but the Pens in their predictions for this year for the Metro, and stopped there. Just awful.

Goosebumps watching it. Wish Hexy could have gotten to him as he left the ice.

Was that right when he got out of the box? I hope he was just got out and was skating over to his bench and thought he was gonna be safe.

Paul Stewart used that Svoboda/Bureau play in a blog last fall. BTW Van Massenhoven caught crap from the NHL for allowing Bureau to stay in the game so as to allow the other side an opportunity to hold him accountable the old-school hockey way.

It was definitely during play. But I don't think it was right out the the box.

I was kinda hoping that the Dan line (I think it was that season) would calmly skate over to the box, orderly remove their gloves and sticks and roll up their sleeves, and just wait for the door to open.

Then again, Lacroix would have lost somehow.

I like the "old-school" way. I'm sure Bureau would have much rather been escorted out of the building and suspended/fined as opposed to having to physically answer for it.

i appreciate DvM for taking that route, but he should have been tossed. Mac didn't really get that great of a crack at him because the linesmen intervened. i don't remember if there were any further attempts from other players in the 3rd period.

a ref will eventually ask you to change it. not sure why the filter doesn't work in the location.
