King of the hip check. he did have a lot of borderline ones and I'll admit low ones but I think more often than not they were not intentional rather just how hard he played. I remember in the 92' playoffs he flatened Mario (another personal favorite) and just loomed over him waiting for something to get started and mario, who is quite larger, just sat on his as...smart move IMHO. That was the last of the decent Isles teams as Mad Mike destroyed our team.
I look around the league and see a playoff team with all the cheap players we gave away and I do mean "gave."
I can't wait to get back stateside to catch a game live.
