Kordic's big problem was his complete lack of discipline. After his father passed away, he was virtually uncontrollable. Pat Burns couldn't get along with him at all and they had some pretty wild exchanges that were documented in the press. Montreal traded him to Toronto (ripping them off to get Courtnall) and he was actually still very solid fight wise although not quite as good as his first seasons in Montreal (just my opinion). His first year in Toronto I thought he fought more "B" squad guys, than had the shameful running from Probert incident, but dominated in his fights.

His second season in Toronto was pretty good as well, he was still fighting some "b" squad guys, but he also had big wins over guys like Tinordi, Crowder, McKay and McRae. Overall he was still winning his fights but his hand speed was slowing down a touch and he was a wreck off the ice. Washington and Quebec were not good to Kordic and he wasn't the same "Rambo" of old. Years of abuse and no conditioning were catching up and he used drugs to try to regain his old form.... With tragic results.

Kordic had a very impressive won-loss record and at 27 years old, the sky was the limit. You are 100% correct, TRAGIC.

He did have some losses but overall, very few "bad defeats". Jimmy MAC caught him a few times, Tie Domi and Dave Brown but there's no disgrace in losing to those guys.

Most of his fights were action packed and he had a great chin and good balance. But as you so clearly stated, his biggest fight was not against a hockey player!
