Yeah, I'd say Hatcher was on par with Tinordi, very similar, huge players who could skate and freight train guys as well as fight. I think Tinordi was a better fighter than Derian but man, the look on their faces is eerily similar, they have that look of "I want to send this guy through the boards into the stands and hurt the fat guy in row 3 who has drank 7 beers" when a simple shove would take the player out of the play. LOL

Mean, mean guys.

Here's a decent video of Hatcher at his best(worst?)

Almost a carbon copy of Tinordi but I think Mark was a nastier fighter, really threw to hurt guys and a faster puncher.
