I absolutely love this guy’s story. You’re right, the League ran him out of town but he ends up being MVP. I loved that. I don’t really watch All Star games but I watched this one. From goon to winner, it was a really heartwarming story. The kind of thing that would make Don Cherry choke up.

I bought one of the shirts he made after the fact.

It warms my heart to watch Stan Jonathan beat the shit out of anyone in a Canadiens Jersey

Also, my vote would go to Probert for best all time enforcer.

That wasn't enforcing though. He broke the code and completely destroyed his legacy.

(For what it's worth Brashear broke it too by not obliging the fight, but that's not as bad as a pussyass swing of the stick. You or I could do that, doesn't make us enforcers.)

That's my point. He was a good enforcer that literally stepped the line out of his own self absorbed ways.

As a Flyers fan I give the nod to Scott Stevens. Maybe not the greatest fighter, but the dude could lay the lumber.

Stevens wasn't a fighter. People called him dirty, but he wasn't. He was big, strong, and punished people who weren't watching him. Talk about keeping your head on a swivel, if you had the puck, you better know where Scott Stevens was; if you didn't, there's a good chance you would need some recovery time.

I wish hockey had been more popular in the south.  We had a minor league team in Mobile for awhile and it looked like it would be fun to play.  Nailing somebody’s ass to the wall and not getting thrown completely out of the game for getting into a scuffle.  Looks like fun.

Brash was a fighter, that’s it. The guy who keeps the peace, but is one dimensional.

McSorley was an every-shift defenseman who also was an excellent fighter that every team would have loved to have... stay at home, solid crease-clearing defenseman.

He broke at least one helmet with a punch in the day. You know, the protective gear to keep your head from getting cracked...

That always stuck with me. That and he’s had to have several surgeries to remove scar tissue from his hands.

Haha... no he wasn't on Probie's level, I don't think anybody was and they'll tell you that themselves. It's very rare that everyone basically agrees on one subject when it comes to  sports but as far as NHL enforcers go, everyone agrees that Probert is the boss. Once that's out of the way then it turns into a discussion about tough guys, like Chris Simon and Basil McRae.

He was quick and efficient.

This was the best game I was ever attended. TV didn’t do it justice. I couldn’t have had better seats. I had just taken the first spoon full of a Wingers Cup when it let loose.

In the "plate carrier" thread there's mention of Capitals players Peter Bondra and Mike Gartner.  Made me think of Dale Hunter, I don't recall if he was mentioned in this thread or not, but he was definitely someone you kept your head on a swivel for.

I nominate the entire team of the Philadelphia Flyers, 1973-76 - The Broad Street Bullies.
Hell they beat, literally beat the Soviet Red Army team into submission - so much so that they left the ice and refused to come back until they were threatened with not getting paid.
I might add that they were the ONLY team to beat the Russians.

If I had to pick one player - that would be Dave Schultz, The Hammer.
