By now, most of us know that Charles Barkley is a pretty big puckhead. But that still doesn't fully explain why he was on hand Monday at Bridgestone Arena prior to Game 4.

Barkley appeared from backstage as Paul Coffey and Wayne Gretzky announced the NHL's 10 greatest teams of all time - the 1984-85 Oilers were voted by fans as the top team.

No word yet on which club Barkley is betting on tonight.
