Theo Fleury on Mike Keane

Fleury big fan of Keane

“If you look at the replay, (Keane) probably landed 50 unanswered punches on that guy,” Fleury recalled with a chuckle. “That’s the thing about him. For the three years he played junior, two of those years he was voted the best fighter in the Western Hockey League, and that’s when Stu Grimson and Ken Baumgartner and Craig Berube and Dave Manson were all playing in the league. It just goes to show you how tough a customer he was.

“I’d seen him knocking guys out almost on a weekly basis in Moose Jaw.”
