February 1995 - the creation of Legion of Doom.
On his podcast, ”Unfiltered With Matthew Barnaby,” he revealed that he used to give teammate Alexei Zhitnik a shot of vodka before playing the Flyers so that he would be able to stand up to the rock-hard Legion of Doom.
”You talk about playing in Philadelphia and having to play against you and in the playoffs, just going into Philadelphia… The Legion of Doom line, it’s so dominant,” Barnaby said when talking to Eric Lindros.
”You guys beat us on the scoreboard and physically. I used to bring a little vodka in the shower for Zhitnik when he was to play, I’m like, ’Sorry you have to take that all day long.’ He would just be like, ’Thank you, it’s rough coming in here.’”
