Matt Johnson fighting


Why the Hall of Fame?


He always showed up and always did what he could to protect his players. He improved his game all around and made every game interesting. Either by getting into an altercation, throwing a check or getting an occasional goal. But one of the best things about him was is persistant attitude. He never gave up trying to put a hurting on Matt Cooke. He will always be remembered for terrorizing the Canucks. His last year with the Wild was the most memorable, he opened up his fighting style and had the greatest Wild fight in history when he knocked out Andrew Peters. Another memorable event was when he beat Georges Laraque in his final year in the NHL.
