Joe Walsh in his Toronto Apartment
Toronto, Ontario, Canada - The light has dimmed on the once promising hockey career of former Ratz player Joe Walsh. That doesn't stop him from playing the game he loves and from talking about days gone by and things that could have been. Walsh sat down with Hockey Voice editor Mark Taylor in this riveting interview.
HV: The report is you were released by your last team, Tony's Pizza and Pest Control. What happened?
JW: Me and Tony had it out. I was on this diet I got from Jamie Harris and Tony said ship up or shape out. It wasn't really a fight. It was kinda like soft porn. Lots of clutching and grabbing but hardly any blows. I mean, it wasn't like I was that guy in the Bare-Assed Ladies or something, going around snorting coke and stuff.
HV: What happened with you and the Ratz?
JW: I didn't mind them. Taylor and Stevens are a little much though. They even offered me a front office job in the off season as the controller. It reminded me of a rose garden. It smelled really nice but the place was full of pricks.
HV: How long did you stay?
JW: I stayed a few days and went through some of the records there. When I saw that 1 goal and 2 assists equals 73 points, I knew it wasn't the place for me.
HV: You say Taylor and Stevens are a little much. What does that mean?
JW: It means they are hard to take. Stevens is a complete nut. Taylor is pretty sensible. I do like his music. I have his CD "Walking Beside a Bridge." My all-time favourite of his is "That Bastard's Parents were Married." I dance to that all the time. It's better than Who Let the Dogs Out?
