That’s awesome! While Leblond didn’t have the most distinguished NHL career, it’s clear that the tough guy has no problem poking fun at himself. For what it’s worth, Leblond was a fearless fighter who had no issue taking on the toughest of the NHL’s tough guys. For a sample, check out this epic scrap with former St Louis Blues brawler Cam Janssen:
