I think about Arron Asham sometimes.

I'm with Ash right now! 😀 Great guy. Part of the Celebrity Hockey Tour. We're in Old Crow, in Yukon, 80mi north of the Arctic circle. That's Chris Nilan standing in behind.

this is legendary

Quite a coincidence lol.

He said he regretted the celebration but it’s all time

His secret sauce was the ability to eat multiple blows to his unvisored face while he prepared for the KO.

that "fighter" weight class back then were the toughest guys in the league. Asham, Mair, Kaleta, Avery, Darcy Tucker, Chris Neil, Prust, Carcillo, Tootoo. I am probably missing several others.

underrated part of the fight was holding onto beagle so he didn’t smash his chin onto the ice

I met him in a club out here on the Island when he played in NY. He was nice but you can definitely just see in his eyes this isnt someone you wanna pick a fight with

Manitoba definitely has the best nhl fighters per capita in the world

I bought his jersey back in the day, just because of that KO

I think about jay beagle

I think about this fight sometimes, beat the MF’in breaks of Jay Beagle

One of the few times in their history the Penguins had a tough guy on their roster.

"He says he's alright... but he's not." Was such a cold line. I remembered it as soon as he started saying it.

Our leading scorer in 2011 playoffs... God, the way we blew that lead to the Lightning was so damn painful...

I was at that game

He was a legit, honest tough guy. Honored the Code, rarely if ever cheap-shotted a guy. Respect.

Asham was never the best technical fighter but he punched above his weight

My Dad ran into him at the Rivers Casino years ago. Had a chat about hockey, and he went on his way. Said he was a cool dude, low-key.

I’ll give you another one, Kevin Millar. Rag dolled every single dude he fought

Puck knower

“Says hes alright…. but hes not”

Yeah he was a nobody

I watched this game and remember Locker saying, “Beags don’t do it don’t do it” before he tangled with Asham

@Kennedy4848 this is what the Penguins need

We called him Ass Ham. Obviously, never to his face!

I saw this tilt unpack in real time!!!

I got his autograph and a picture at a meet and greet a short time after this fight happened. The girl in front of me did the “nighty-nighty” pose for her picture with him.

Troy Terry approves 😊

You shouldn’t get penalized if you KO the other guy

Snoopy meets a wolf

Hate that he apologized for that

Hockey …. Is UFC on lethal blades of steal… no gloves 🧤.. bare knuckle .. with clubs … #SAVaGE

One of the better middleweights of his time. Tough and could really throw em

And Laraque

Jay standing up for a team mate here Watched it live….. Love begs He was out for 3 or 4 weeks after this I think
