Former NHL Enforcer Loses His Marbles During AHL Game After Being Disrespected
This former NHL tough guy just lost his cool during an AHL game after a player on the opposing team disrespected his team after scoring a goal.
Clifford Jumps Duszak After Disrespectful Celebration of Goal
Kyle Clifford was a notable tough guy during his time in the NHL, and it looks like despite his age he is keeping that reputation going in the AHL. During last night's Marlies versus Thunderbirds game, Clifford lost it on Joseph Duszak after he celebrated a little too closely to the Marlies bench and shared some words.
Joseph Duszak finds the back of the net against his former team and has some words for the #Marlies.
Clifford wasn't too happy about this, and he went out for the following faceoff and proceeded to chase Duszak down the ice before jumping him. Nothing really came of it, as Duszak turtled, however, Clifford clearly was enraged.
Kyle Clifford immediately goes after Joseph Duszak off the puck drop following his goal against the #Marlies.
Duszak Was A Former Marlie Who Reportedly Wasn't Happy During His Time With the Team
Duszak has some personal history with the Marlies, so seeing him involved is a little bit of a shocker, however, it has been revealed that he had some bad blood with the team. It was reported that he wasn't happy with his playing time during his final season there and that he abandoned the team.
There's a rough history between Duszak and the Marlies.
The Marlies lost the last game of 21-22 and as a result missed the playoffs. Duszak didn't play. There was talk about him being upset about playing 4RW rather than D. Crocker says here he straight up bailed on the team
