George: Welcome to the show, and lets begin with this.. who was that first player when you joined the league that caught your eye? the one you wanted to emulate your game after, the person who's success you coveted on or off the ice, the one you first admired, and why?.. let us know alittle about that."

Physt: Well the thing is I knew what I brought with my style of play and my game plan was going to be different from a lot of the other players in this league. However there was one guy who I both looked at as someone I wanted to play on a team with, and be able to achieve the mix of consistent scoring, and dominant physical reputation. @Clint Eastwood is in fact that man. Being able to put up a lot of blocked shots, over 100 hits a season, and hold his own in fights, coupled with putting up around 30 points is where I hope to be able to limp Richard Physt to and with any luck, inspire some young, aspiring, physical defenceman to come out and find the fun in being a hitting, physical force. I will admit to not enjoying my lack of scoring as much as I thought I could. You feel like you are not helping your team all that much and, when Toronto was still crawling out of its rebuild, it felt like I was the anvil weighing us down. As I inch closer to being similar to Clint, I am starting to enjoy the fruits of my labour.
