Twist is a liar. This makes me hate him. Douche.
Twister is somewhat right.
The NHL was heavily influenced by the Euro-style of play back then.
I don't know if it was solely responsible, but I think it had an impact.
Look at the teams that won a cup back then: Col, NJ, Dal…all heavily stacked with Euros.
However, I see the enforcer role coming back with the likes of Tom Wilson around.
Plus, look at T- Bay. Cup champs last 2 yrs. Loaded with skill, but also tough as mails as well.
Interesting stat:
There were more penalty minutes in the playoffs this year than in the last 5 years.
Obviously it will never return to the levels it once was, but the enforcer role isn't COMPLETELY dead yet.
Could you upload the full podcast?
should have interviewed
He's pretty articulate for a guy who's job was to bash other's players head in
"Appreciation of the game"? I thought "the game" was hockey, not boxing?
Unfortunately, this day and age, enforcers are far and few between. Do we still need the enforcer dropping the gloves to build momentum when a team needs it? Absolutely! Twister always got the job done. Miss you Twister! Let’s go Blues! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I like how Tony pets the dog. Atta boy Twist. He threw phucking bombs.
Met Wendel Clark, at a Golf Banquet. Sat down at the bar, beside me and stayed to talk to me for about an hour. Openly told me, Tony Twist was the guy that he worried about the most, because Tony actually wanted to hurt people. Motorcycle accident, really cut his career short. Man was a tank.
twister, reaper, odjick, probie, etc etc…greatest era…my buddy had this hockey fights video that was a bootleg copy and all grainy back in the vcr days…it was hours and hours of all the fights between all the big dogs…yeah…basically you tube in the 90s
Tony was trying to be so politically correct let’s face it what he meant was the Canadian guys dreamed of winning the cup and fought until the end to the Russian guys it was a job
I got to see Tony a few times in St. Louis when Wayne Gretzky played for them for a year or two. If somebody even looked cross eyed at Wayne, Tony was all over him.
The Tony Twist hat trick is scoring 3 goals in a single season
Tony twist was so dam tough love this guy
He’s 100% correct about it being a job. I had the role of enforcer for most of my career. The opposing role on the other teams were always known and we were like a fraternity. Just did a job but hung out plenty of times with the guys you just fought. Everything was understood and left on the ice. It’s when the pests or turtles came along that would spark a problem with a skill player and you’d have to go after the pest who wouldn’t fight but would still go after your stars that it became quite annoying. Other teams would sit out their enforcers for a pest with better skill. So no solving of problems on the ice could happen cause the pest turtles. Different era different code, I’m just glad I played during that time.
Sounds like a hot take but the dream of a Canadian kid holding that Cup means a lot more to them than it does to a Russian. Twist would totally duke a teammate for standing in the way of that.
Bud Lite?
All twist did was punch people hard on their shoulder pads. A steroid junkie…..
What did Twister’s legs go?
I miss those days of Hockey 🙁 Tony played for Peoria in the IHL for a while. So many that I miss… Tony Twist, Steve Fletcher, Mark Major, Enrico Ciccone, Rob Ray, Andy Bezeau, Mike Butters, Kerry Toporowski, Kevin Kaminski, John Craighead, Tracy Egeland, Chris Lipuma… a few off the top of my head. The excitement and electricy these guys brought everytime they stepped on the ice. Thanks for the memories fellas.
This idiotic interviewer has not only got the worst accent in the history of the English language, he conducts himself like a drunkard coming off a week-long bender.
On top of that, he conducts this interview in what has got to be the cheapest set imaginable, and then for good measure, throws a couple cases of cheap beer in there for advertising props, probably garnering a whopping $150. I keep waiting for the $3 per hour hooker to come running out from behind the curtains, which are very fashionable … if you're living in 1978.
If that weren't already bad enough, this semi-intelligible, mumbling interviewer wears his Sunday best: an oversized t-shirt and a baseball cap.
Could this video possibly get any more cringeworthy???
I can hear a Boston accent In 2 seconds why do we get confused with new York. He said he got hard and he enjoyed it 😂😂😂
Mr Twist…long time fan…question: if you suited up again today..still in your prime, who would you enjoy dropping the gloves against?
