He was allright I guess.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

He was a terror in the WHL. Stepping onto the ice after listening to players talk about how scary he was is quite the experience for a 17 year old rookie

 

[facts]

there was good and bad Parker, summed up when Probert handed him his ass and Parker wouldn't let go of his jersey, that wasn't just a beating but a clinic .

I remember that fight he had with Probert where Parker ate a couple few bombs and refused to let go so much that the ref had to repeatedly strike his hand.

Parker is better remembered for his WHL days then his NHL ones. He was an absolute monster in the WHL, playing Kelowna with the small rink too. Anyone have any clips from him in the WHL ?

This was from when he was with Hershey. 2000 I believe. :55 seconds in.

That **** is just insanity.

Being an Avs fan, Parker is my favorite fighter of all time. He didn't quite live up to his potential in the NHL, but as someone stated, his WHL and AHL fights were amazing. I have most of those fights on tape and have been meaning to put them on Youtube (if I ever stop being lazy).

Parker was a beast in the WHL. When he wa with Kelowna, he was one touted as the "next heavyweight champ" of the NHL. He was feared becuase not only was he a damn good fighter, he had KO power to boot, and did lots of damage with it.


I have a set of VHS tapes, 3 or 4 of them from his Jr days with Kelowna and then later with Hershey. I don't even know if he lost a fight down there. Have to go in and watch them again. If I can figure out how to transfer them to Disc and then figure out how to youtube them I will.

Parker was great ! Its a shame his carrer ended the way it did with the head injuries ...

With the Rockets you guys are right he was a beast ,had a tough go of it his rookie season but then after that ...he was a man among boys ,laid some real beatings on guys. Also what is forgotten is he had a 30 goal season in the WHL ,as well as a 17 goal season with the Bears in the AHL. He had skills for a tough guy ..but he was never used right at the NHL level and was never given the ice time ,which is the way it goes.

Its funny i notice people always seem to bring up the Probert fight ,and then saying Parker never lived up to his hype. First off a loss to Probert is nothing,Probert was the king who didnt the guy beat? there is no shame in losing to Probert.
But Parker had a very good NHL carrer ,ive never understood why people seem to say he was a bust. Outside of the Probert fight ,did he ever get beat up? i dont mean out punched ,i mean ko'd ,pumped..no he didnt ..he had big ko's vs Grimson,Oliwa,Brown etc..he won far more than he lost ...

Will always be a fan of Scott Parker ,hope life after hockey treats him well ...

I like how parker tries to just punch over the ref.

I'm surprised Probert didn't knock him silly. those were some serious bombs.
