Tony Twist once fought the best man at his own wedding — five different times. The St. Louis Blues cult hero and legendary enforcer wrote about it himself in the foreword to "The Code," a book on fighting and retaliation in the NHL. "Hey, I even fought Kerry Clark, who was the best man at my wedding, five different times. The first two came when we were roommates in junior hockey. The first few were more wrestling matches than anything else, but by the fourth they got heated. I remember the fourth one, in Peoria, and I just beat the s**t out of him. I wound up on top of him, and he said, 'Loser buys pizza!', and I said, 'Looks like you're buying then,' to which he responded, 'Yeah, but winners buy beer, a****e!' We laughed about that one for a long time."
