The role of tough guys
Bugard's knockout punch in a fight against another tuddy Todd Fedoryuk in a game against Anaheim Mighty Dax helped spark a debate over the ban on fighting in the NHL.

Interestingly, after this incident, which occurred in the 2006–07 season , Bugard and Fedoryuk played in the 2007–08 season together for Wild. In 2007, the players of the National Hockey League gave Derek second place after Georges Larak in the list of players who want to fight the least.

There is also one amusing incident with Bugard in the training camp "Wild" before the 2001–02 season . During the game, while attempting to force a reception, Bugard hit the barrier glass, shattering it to smithereens, and flew over the board from the platform [3] .
