10 All Time NHL Fighter list

[Jester240]

Versus did a top 10 All Time NHL Fighter list. Here is the Link

I thought it was pretty good. As with any top 10 list there were some names left out but I like the addition of Steve Durbano. Someone I really didnt know much about. Probably cause I was born in 79 and that was the year of the fight in the linked video.

That was a pretty cool article, thanks for posting.

awesome list, but I'm surprised wendel didn't make even the honorable mention, he used to throw down all the time & with gusto

 

[SID87OVY8MALKIN71]

Pretty cool I think Darren Langdon should be up there.

durbano was a nutcase. both off and on the ice. Got caught up in some really bad stuff (prostitution ring, drugs, etc.)

 

[letsgocapitals]

Based on fight cards, durability, win/loss, ability... how about this list:

Bob Probert
Behn Wilson
Dave Brown
Clark Gillies
Nick Fotiu
Joe Kocur
Dave Semenko
Donald Brashear
Larry Playfair
Glenn Cochrane
Stan Jonathan

And, yes, Donald Brashear is in any top ten all-time list.

Biggest omission......Mr Hockey. Read some newspaper articles from early 50's. Those games were down right brutal.No helmets so more blows landed. It wasn't unusual for guys too spend time in hospital after their bouts. Check out Lou Fontinato after a go with Howe. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cool-baby/3217680641/

I think you need Craig Coxe up there!!!

 

[allberts]

Dave Schultz should not even be in the top 25

 

[Kehfee]

I have a soft spot for Nilan and Kordic.

 

[Boom Boom]

Dave Schultz should not even be in the top 25

Agree 100%. Especially after the time he cried crocodile tears and begged the ref to not let Clarke Gillies hit him again.......as per Ray Scapinello. True story.....

mr hockey for sure.....and john ferguson...and ive seen some nasty ones with the golden jet too....

Decent article, my top ten would have Tim Hunter in there.

Great thread. Interesting top ten. But some of those names won't mean anything unless you grew up during the era in which those certain players played. I'd list top tens for each decade, or something to that effect. But I would have included a couple more names - 1) Troy Crowder; 2) Gino Odjick. Those two were crazy brawlers.

 

[flemingc04]

Also surprised to not see Howe on there, but overall a decent list.

I was 5 or 6 but every Saturday night was hockey at home. I seem to remember Stan Mikita in his first couple of years in the NHL was penalty leader - he had to be to survive. When he came from Czechoslovakia (sp.) he says he feared for his life.

[plubers]

McSorley should easily be on that list.

 

[GrimUSMC]

Agree 100%. Especially after the time he cried crocodile tears and begged the ref to not let Clarke Gillies hit him again.......as per Ray Scapinello. True story.....

I think you and Bert need CAT Scans :beer:

[greg_f_2]

if your gonna give probert #1, you have to have stu grimson on there!!!
they didnt call him the grim reaper for nothing, and in proberts glory days grimson was a close second. (as far as i can remember they were the two most feared guys in the league)

p.s. honourable mention IMO to ryan vandenbusche(excuse the spelling)
just because he was nice enough to end nick kypreos's career....
that was the baddest scrap i ever saw(one punch career ending KO)
