Bob “Battleship” Kelly didn’t merely say those words. He lived them.
Kelly played in the NHL from 1973-79 and for the Penguins from 1974-77. The 6-foot-2 left wing remains the best fighter I ever saw. Kelly threw fast, threw heavy and was fearless.
Kelly’s career high for penalty minutes in a season was 149, a low number for such an accomplished fighter. But there’s a good explanation: Most were reluctant to fight Kelly.
That included the aforementioned "Broad Street Bullies": The Philadelphia Flyers' goon-squad “champions” in 1974 and ’75. Bill Clement, later a network TV analyst, played for those Flyers. He once told me, “If you were on the rink at Pittsburgh and heard that song, you looked around and thought, ‘Oh, ***t.’ ”
