Q & A: Brandon Sugden

[shedthemitts]

Good interview. I don't read much into his McMorrow comments. McMorrow was a cheap, boring fighter his first couple of years in Rochester, but he really opened himself of and stopped the cheap crap the last few seasons.

Sean was the only guy Sugden had trouble with in the 04-05 season. If I was Sugden, I'd be pissed I couldn't beat him too.

Thanks to Chris (CatatonicMoose), John (jayc948) and Jon (Merlin401) for helping out.

This has been a while coming, so I have to thank Sugar again for doing this thing over the summer and not flipping about it taking so long to be published. We just wanted to get a few things in place first (like having expanded cards on here).

Wow. Great interview.

I hope Sugden gets his stuff together. It sounds like he's REALLY emulating his first hero, "Missing" Link Gaetz.

It's sad, but sometimes these guys thrown into hardass roles can't turn it off after work.

Being a hockey enforcer is one of the most difficult jobs in sports ... bar none. Patrick Roy ****s up on a goal ... he has 59:59 of work to make that mistake up. Brett Hull missed thousands of open nets through bad aim but nailed 750 home so nobody remembered. Guys like Brandon Sugden can't lose even five fights. Every event has HUGE import for his financial future and the team prospects each night.

Tough tough job.

Real good interview. I talked to Dody about his fights with Sugden a couple years ago and he said there first one was real good but the second he said Sugden hit him harder in the nose then anyone else had ever done before.

I went to the Syracuse/Hershey game Saturday night hoping to see Sugden in action. Hershey has John Erskine right now and I thought maybe Sugden would try and get him to go. No luck though. Sugden didn't get much ice time and was pretty much invisible when he was on the ice. Erskine doesn't go looking for fights. He needs to work on his playing game if he's going to get a shot in the NHL so the fights need to find him. Hershey has Robittaie to do the bulk of their fighting. But Erskine is definately much bigger and the much better fighter.

Its cool to see a professional hockey player that actually says he reads this site. Hopefully i'm not one of the punks who doesn't know what i am talking about though...

It is always interesting to see how these gentlemen got their start in Hockey and what a struggle it is for them to get to the top level.
