I would never condone the things he did on the ice, but he was certainly an inspiration for many.

He was dirty, but usually dirty against other dirty players. I don't recall him being the kind of player to go after light weights or players that weren't throwing cheap shots first. I think that is why he was respected and had kind of a vigilante reputation as opposed to someone who just went out there the cheap shot innocent players.
