No nickname in hockey has ever been more deserved than "Battlin'" Billy Smith.
He piled up penalty minutes, unusual for a goaltender, and was proud of it. He steadfastly refused to shake hands with opponents after playoff series. He'd leave the top few inches of his stick shaft untaped, weaponizing the butt end. When the Philadelphia Flyers trotted out Kate Smith, the grande dame of American song, to deliver "God Bless America" from center ice before a 1975 playoff Game 7 at the Spectrum, Smith groused, "I should have skated over her wires."
