He beat the piss out of Jovo in the game and Jovo said a derogatory remark about his sister and he wanted to feed him some more after they left the ice.Corson was tough. I think he was a bit of a scumbag but pound for pound he was one of the toughest ever. I remember Dana Murzyn trying to avenge the beating he threw on Goalie Bob. It didn't end up well for Dana.Didn't Corson go after Jovocop off the ice in a postal rage? I forgot the story behind that.
Jose Charbonneau from the Vancouver Voodoo played for the Canucks twice in his career for 3 different seasons. Very good roller hockey player but never really seemed to make it as a NHL player.
The guy is actually Ruuttu. Christian Ruuttu.Christian Ruutu
Scored a goal from centre ice one time. Not related to the other Ruutu who would play for us later.
Speaking of tough was Croson as tough pound for pound as Curt Fraser?He beat the piss out of Jovo in the game and Jovo said a derogatory remark about his sister and he wanted to feed him some more after they left the ice.Corson was tough.

Erik Cairns gave Corson the beating he needed. He tried to boot Cairns after Cairns pulled his hair. What is it about Montreal and Vancouver fights here. Fraser and Nilan fighting outside the dressing room, the brawl in 86, Corson etc.,

There was a wild fetish for players who were big, could score, and were kind of unhinged to the point of scaring opponents.Given the 80s, I wonder about him. Just some of the stories you hear are so unbelievable, and those are the ones that got out? Like the dude just seemed like the single biggest piece of work around. It was Sean Avery level, maybe even worse. Poor Jason Arnott, the kid.
F*** I wanna hear some stories, or takes, rather, old man. What was his deal? Damphousse for Corson? Huh? C for winger? Just seemed like he carried more value than he was worth to have in the league that long.
I love me some skill, but controversial take I love seeing the romanticized gladiators on ice shit. Was toughness really valued that highly back then? Was it poor assessment, kind of like that "he would be the first to lead you into a war, but not really much of a leader"?
