... that Hockey Hall of Fame defenceman "Black Jack" Stewart, considered the hardest hitter of his time, earned his nickname after an opponent said being hit by him felt like being struck with a blackjack?

ALT1 ... that Hockey Hall of Fame defenceman "Black Jack" Stewart quipped that his stick was not for scoring, but for "breaking arms"?

Or something from that quote. Love it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:44, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments/discussion:

I'd like some feedback from the nom on a possible ALT, but this one is pretty much good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:44, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he actually said his stick was for "breaking arms", though I doubt he meant that literally as I haven't found any indication he was criticized for deliberately trying to injure opponents. I think using the alt proposal, ending with "...his stick was not for scoring, but for 'breaking arms'" would be more reflective of the quote, and perhaps more interesting?

Fixed. So ALT1 is okay too? I avoided saying that was its true purpose, just that he said it was. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:33, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say so. I put "breaking arms" in quotes though. Thanks for reviewing! Reso lute 14:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Either ALT1 or the original are good to go, although I prefer the ALT. You're welcome, Resolute. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
