In his super-duper, outstanding, excellent THN.com blog last week, Jason Kay relays an entertaining yarn about longtime enforcer Jim McKenzie from former NHL referee Kerry Fraser’s new book. (How’s that, boss?)

In any event, McKenzie was toiling for the Hartford Whalers in 1990-91 and needed just four penalty minutes to cash in on a “performance” bonus with the Whalers. Alas, he didn’t play a shift in the last game of the season, so he went to Fraser and told him to “f--- off” and received a 10-minute misconduct and everything just turned out swell. A true good old Canadian boy’s story if ever there were one.
