One of my favorite NHL trash talk stories involved Rick Tocchet and Kris King.

King was a 3rd or 4th line player, certainly not of Tocchet's caliber. He also ran a youth hockey camp up in Canada during the summers.

King and Tocchet were lined up next to each other on the wing for a faceoff. Just before the puck was dropped, Tocchet says to King "I can't believe you spend the summers teaching hockey to kids when you have no idea how to play the game yourself".

Puck drops, play goes towards the Rangers zone, but King says he is so dumbfounded he doesn't move for 5 seconds.
