Brad May

... uh, who finished his remarkable NHL career as a Red Wing.

Uh, legendary NHL enforcer Brad May is going to join us.

Um, [tsking] I looked it up.

In his career he had 190 fights over 18 years in NHL games.

That was, that was going to be my point.

Uh, you had one.

Um, you know, Brad May had 10 fights in a, a-

Yeah, but-

I remember that.

When Brad May came from the other end of the ice to protect his buddy, Matthew Barnaby, I missed that NHL.

Yeah, you're never getting that NHL back, unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

It was unbelievable.

You know, when Tortorella was an assistant coach there too for Muckler, he could wire guys up.

And they had Rob Ray and they had Brad May and they had Matthew Barnaby.

Like they had some tough cats.

We talked about it in the Canada show earlier.

The Bob Proberts, the Ty Domies, Max's son, George the Rock of the world, the Donald Brashears, you know, all these guys, Brad May.

I mean, you could go on and on.

The tough-ass Canadians are... that i grew up playing hockey with and against uh and the american boys that were so tough i mean that culture is gone now we got people there's no fighting there's no hitting you

Let me frame it this way.

This is a fight between Brad May and Chris Barch.

Now, these two were like Flair/Steamboat.

They had a number of mat fights-

Now, the setup to this one was these two always had the number one fight on hockeyfights.com. And there was another fight, I think it was Shawn Thornton and Riley Cote, it had a beauty, and it took over the number one spot.

So before the game, these two at center ice agreed they were gonna throw, and they were gonna get that number one spot back.

Right there, that's Chris Barch, by the way, telling Mayday, "Don't quit.

Keep hitting me.

[upbeat rock music] Well, I saw Vinnie Lettieri of the Calder Cup champion Toronto Marlies was downstairs with the Calder Cup talking to Ryan Leslie and Brad May-

Mm-hmm

... on the unsportsmanlike content, uh, stream at, uh, the beginning of the program, uh, beginning of the night here at, uh, Scotiabank, and-

He can kind of do it all.

I just want to say, to me, I heard an interview between him and Ryan Leslie and Brad May in the Unsportsmanlike Contact.

This guy is just well-spoken.

Doesn't seem like he gives a shit about the media or the spotlight.

That to me was the other thing that really is a great memory.

Seeing what it meant to Tame Usulani, to Todd Marchant, Chris Pronger, Sean O'Donnell, Brad May.

I'm sure I'm missing a few of the old guys.

My brother, obviously.

...

when you got gypped for being too far ahead of Brad May.

[laughs]

Oh.

Yeah.

So we had training camp, but I was, I was in a corner 'cause I think Q was the coach, and Q would have four corners, and you'd be bagging, doing laps.

And I think it was, like, I was with Hinote and, and Brad May and whatever, and I got too far ahead of Brad May.

[laughs]

Matt Sundin, oh my god! Ian Cole,

Brad May, Andrew Raycroft.

We literally said Ian Cole earlier too, didn't we? Yeah.

Jason, make not.
