As I recall, he was a scumbag, whose modus operandi was to skate up from behind opponents and spear them in the nuts.
Hence, Ken Linseman was the type of player EVERY SINGLE COACH IN THE NHL WANTED ON THEIR TEAM!
Esa Tikkanen was the best pest the game has ever seen. The best at blowing kisses too.
The Tikk did not do his pestiferous duty AND lead his team in scoring during ANY memorable playoff run... K.L. did in 1988! Oh, and... begone satan!
For my money - the best pest = the worst pest! And the worst of them all, the one who cost us a GREAT PLAYER, was ULF... the S.O.B. who ended Cam Neely's career...
