Favorite hockey memory: Getting called up for my first game; it was against Pittsburgh and I fought Steve McKenna on my first shift. I played just 8 seconds that game.

Superstitious: Not really. Knock on wood.

Worst part of enforcing: I don't mind getting stitched up, but I really hate when they freeze a cut on your face. That's not fun.

Best part about playing in Philly: The history of the Flyers and putting on the jersey. There is a lot of pride here.

Best thing said after a fight: When the ref breaks things up, there is a little bit of everything that is said between the two guys. Sometimes it's, "Good job" or "Let's go again" or "Good fight," but from time to time I actually get a guy that says, "Thanks." I've been thanked.
