Information About

Matthew Barnaby




Barnaby is considered an Enforcer despite his relatively unintimidating size (6'0", 188 lbs). Therefore, he racks up Penalty minutes (his personal record is 335 with the 1995-96 Sabres), and is frequently involved in on-ice altercations. One of his most celebrated Fights was with Rob Ray in 2001 ; ironically, the two are off-ice friends and had had dinner together the night before. Also ironically, Barnaby is known for his affable character off-ice and is one of the league's most willing interviewees.

He infamously referred to then- New Jersey Devils defenseman Lyle Odelein as "Cornelius", a reference to the Roddy McDowall character in '' Planet Of The Apes ''.
