I can't remember him losing a fight. He always had a reason for when he fought. He watched over his team and protected them from the opposition's goons. They were a fairly passive club, for a few seasons, back then.

They were exciting, very flawed teams. Beck was the constant. Although he didn't score as much as we wanted him to and he didnt fight as much as we wanted him to Beck's presence in the lineup gave those teams credibility and a force that teams had to recon with. He clearly wanted to be more than a goon. They could have won a championship in another era - but the Islander and Oiler dynasties thwarted him and them. That holds Barry back from being regarded as an all time great defensive defenseman. But he could make any team of any era.Bronx Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364327.post-8595160280056535082009-04-29T08:43:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:43:00.000-07:00When Herb Brooks coached the Rangers, he was disap...When Herb Brooks coached the Rangers, he was disappointed at Beck's efforts as team captain, and said, "The 'C' on Beck's jersey stands for 'Coward.'"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364327.post-82783312818607353552009-03-14T09:05:00.000-07:002009-03-14T09:05:00.000-07:00He was a great player, I think dominant player tha...He was a great player, I think dominant player that never got as much credit as he deserved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364327.post-11662328379070010572009-03-10T15:43:00.000-07:002009-03-10T15:43:00.000-07:00The most exciting time in hockey Beck vs. Potvin s...The most exciting time in hockey Beck vs. Potvin shoot the puck Barry shoot the puck...miss that time wish he would come back for a standing ovation....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364327.post-70028720615452614982008-12-26T20:20:00.000-08:002008-12-26T20:20:00.000-08:00When he left the Kings, it was "by mutual agreemen...When he left the Kings, it was "by mutual agreement."
