After playing a major role in Chicago’s 4-2 series victory over the Vancouver Canucks, Hawks Dustin Byfuglien took the time to sit down with DKM and answer a few questions on the upcoming Western Conference Final between Chicago and San Jose.
DKM: Hi Dustin, congrats on the win over the Canucks
Byfuglien: Ahhhhhh yeeeeah thanks playa, much love.
DKM: You had a big series against the Canucks. Not only were you getting under their skin but you were also showing up big on the scoresheet. What do you attribute that success to?
Byfuglien: Yo let me tell you somethin brotha, those ‘Nucks ain’t nothin for a big dawg like me to worry about. I was getting right up in Luongo’s grill all series long and when they would get mad I would just start lightin shit up all ova the place. I was straight beastin out there, and with my two main niggas J.Tizzle and P.Kanzey out there, we was straight dirty all night long, man, you feel me?
DKM: You’ve garnered a reputation of being a crease crasher and a bully. Is that something you enjoy or is it just a role you have to play in order to be successful?
Byfuglien: Yo check this out bro. I luv that shit. Ain’t nobody gon’ stop me from doing my thang. If these bitches can’t roll with the big dawgs then they should just get the fuck out the kennel. I ain’t worried about any of these hataz runnin they mouth, I’m just gon’ keep shinin. They call me Big Buff and I don’t play.
DKM: You guys were in the same position a year ago. Do you think that experience will help you guys in this series?
Byfuglien: Yo listen up man. You betta believe this year is gon’ be a little different. Last year Coach Q put the shackles on a nigga. This year the biggest dawg of em all is off the chains and damn hungry too grrrrrr. I’m gonna be straight barkin nigga, barkin grrrrrrrr.
DKM: You’ll of course be taking on the top seeded San Jose Sharks. These were the top two teams in the West pretty much all year. What do you know about these guys?
Byfuglien: Yo dawg let me check on you for a second. They got some real niggaz ova there. Joe Thornts, D-Heat, Pat Mizzle, Joe Pa, they be some straight mothafuckin ridaz let me tell you. It ain’t gon’ be easy but we are the dawgs representin the Chi town Hawks, we ain’t scurred.
DKM: You’ve been in the league for a few years now, ever get tired of these trips to California?
Byfuglien: Ahhhhhhh sheeeeeit dawg, now you talkin bro. You know this big nigga can’t get enough of that Cali sun. There ain’t nothin like rollin around in the Benzie and havin these Cali hoes checkin up on you. Cali bitches be real baby, not like dem nappy headed hoes I see scummin’ around the Chi.
DKM: What do you think are some of the keys to victory for the Hawks?
Byfuglien: Yo playa check this shit out. You know the Big Buff is the only key to the series. If I bring the same flava that I brought against those ‘Couver niggaz then there ain’t nobody that can stop us. And let me tell you something on the real. I plan on runnin train on these Shark hataz so they betta be ready to get straight pimped on.
DKM: Do you plan on getting into the face of Evgeni Nabokov?
Byfuglien: Yo dawg listen up. What do you think bro? I’m gonna be straight frontin on that bitch nigga all series. He ain’t nothin but a Russian bird and he ain’t got nothin on a man-beast like #33 reppin the red, black and white. It’s gon’ be real.
DKM: You guys have had a few days off to get some rest. How did you spend your time?
Byfuglien: Ahhhhhhhh yeeeeeeah you know this nigga was gettin straight crunk every night. Me and some of my boyz hit the club and you best believe we did it right. We was spendin those Benjamins all night long. I’m talking bottles of Dom, Goose, Henn, Patrone, all the top dolla shit. When we walked in the club the bitches just started straight flockin. These otha brothas knew it was time to just get the fuck out the club cause there wasn’t no way they was gonna be gettin any pootie with the big dawgs in the house.
DKM: Sounds like a good time. Well, thanks for the time Dustin and good luck in the series.
Byfuglien: Yo check this out brotha. It ain’t nothin but a G thang. Real Talk.
Really? I get it, he’s black. But this is your attempt at humour? That’s just REALLY sad.
What? Do you have a problem with Dustin’s candid comments or something? Go figure, a guy gives a good honest interview and people missinterpret it. Dustin was nice enough to speak is own mind instead of just throwing out the same old cliche’s and this is the crap he gets. Sad.
Looks like the world still isn’t ready to be accepting of different cultures. I agree with you Bench Boss, it is sad.
Ha! Funny guy! Do a Ching-Chong man one with Richard Park eating noodles and pronouncing his Ls and Rs wrong next, Funny guy!
You really don’t see what’s racist about that do you?
Gretzky predicted all of his records would fall to a black man over 15 years ago. There are currently about 30 black players active in the league. Most of them the are playing at a level where their racial background is the least remarkable thing they’re bringing to the game.
But some people see a black skater and apparently still can’t resist acting like it’s the first time they’ve seen a black person anywhere, ever.
A 6ft 5, 260 lb mountain of a man who-inspite of usually being a bit of a sled after the first intermission-seems to be able to put the puck anywhere he wants and bulldog the net as good as Hall of Famer Dino Cicarelli. And the only thing worth talking about is, “ZOMG AFRO LOL!”
Dude doesn’t even pepper his speech with slang like that. He’s pretty square when he talks.
If there’s a Byfuglien joke here it’s that awful shirt he’s wearing.
If you really must make an obvious statement about his race in contrast to the predominant racial make-up of the NHL there are less embarrassing ways for you to do it, I’m sure.
We write for comedy, and this stuff makes us laugh.
We’ve actually done at least 6-7 articles where Richard Park speaks just in the way that you “lecommended”! Go through our articles, check it out. We’ve also had a few with Alexander Semin speaking in his broken-English. Hope you enjoy!
