YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 gilles owned schultz ... made him look silly one more than one occasion 611139[/snapback] Agreed, but Schoenfeld dropped Shultz with one punch in a game. Shoeney didn't fight much, but most avoided getting in the way of big red's fists.
Simon Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Depends on the situation. If you're talking about a guy whose fights are pre-meditated to make a point to opposing players, then I might go with Stu Grimson who was a ferocious but tactical fighter. If you're talking about a guy who only fought when he was pissed off, I might go with Gordie Howe who was absolutely fearsome when his Ire was up.
Lori Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 dale hunter easily wins that one. how that li'l creep did so much damage and never really got his a$$ beat remains a mystery 611015[/snapback] Whole other category -- "Cheapshotting Punks".

Bob Lamb Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Schultz would kick the crap out of everyone on the list. He was a tough guy in an era when hockey players were men. 611063[/snapback] Before hockey "men" wore helmets Gordie Howe was mentioned - deserved honor And then there was this guy - Brad Park http://www.nhlalumni.com/slam/hockey/nhlal...ews/020614.html Tim Horton was old when the Sabres got him - but he still never flinched The old guys only fought when necessary - not on a whim
Pete Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Not fair! I love Rob Ray but Bob Probent is the toughest fighter eva!
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Ron Hextall for being the biggest !@#$ on the ice 611012[/snapback] Billy Smith for being the "original" goalie !@#$ on the ice... And a young Lindy Ruff (1979, rookie)... For not taking any of the sh*t that Smith was dealing...

Wasn't it Lady Byng recipient Gil Perrault that broke a guy's nose in his only fight? Now that is what you call "batting a thousand!"
beerme1 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Well he not the best all time, but from your list I say Bob Probert. He was a tough SOB and had a couple of big power forward years to boot.
