Hockey Player

The Resume

    (June 24, 1945- )
    Born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada
    Winger and scrapper for the Boston Bruins (1967–1983, achieved captainship in 1977)
    Right-side shooter
    Head coach for the Philadelphia Flyers (1997–1998) and assistant coach for the Bruins (2001–2006)

Why he might be annoying:

    His time with the Bruins was temporarily interrupted when he was sent to the minor league Hershey Bears (1968–1969).
    At the September 1972 Summit Series, he was chosen to start the second game because the coach wanted aggressiveness.
    Partway into the Series’ third game, following scores of complaints from the Soviets about his abrasive style, he was kicked.
    His tongue was lacerated by a forward's stick during an exhibition match in Sweden, requiring some 50 stitches.
    When he learned that Phil Esposito was being traded to the New York Rangers, he pitched the TV set out of his Vancouver hotel room.
    He had a bad back for most of his run.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He stood 6’1 and weighed 180 pounds.
    In addition to being an enforcer, he was a decent scorer (recording 30 goals and 111 penalty minutes in the 1973-74 season).
    He gained revenge on Bruins management by ordering the delivery of a hundred sandwiches to his hotel room — and mashing the walls with his bare hands.
    He was the last remaining link to the Original Six era, before the great expansion.
