just read that bryan marchment passed away.  wtf.  

It's very shocking.   Marchment was the most hated guy in the NHL when he played, 17 or so suspensions, many in todays game would be half a season in length instead.   I remember him trying to take our guys knees out when he was in EDM (Linden included).   Also said some nasty things to Brashear.   Was a real pest, dirty as they come and a warrior.    Him and Cooke are up there for ruining players careers, or significantly degrading them.   Samuelsson and Kasper and Marchment reigned supreme as the most hated NHLers at the time ... Cooke head hunted Bryan M knee hunted.   Taking guys out by the knees was his trademark ... was actually a very good player though, and unlike Cooke would back up his play rather then go hide somewhere (one of his suspensions was for instigating 3 fights in one season).   Very sudden, wonder what happened to him?   For sure puts a cloud over this years draft for the folks there.
