from the City Pages,
They talk about the Boogeyman as if he were another species. At six-foot, seven-inches tall—add three inches in skates—the Wild left winger stands a head above most NHL players (one writer describes him as “yeti-like”). Weighing 250 pounds, he has a gorilla’s arms and hands the size of concrete blocks. They’re always thrown with bad intentions.
But when Derek “the Boogeyman” Boogaard arrives to meet the press, he almost looks like a model out of GQ. Wire-rim spectacles perch upon an improbably straight nose. His chiseled chin rests on battle-scarred knuckles.
