Quote HistoryQuoted: It's not Claude Lemieux?  I'd probably give my vote to Probert as well. McSorley (from his days protecting Gretzky), Domi, and maybe even Chris Nilan (more of a general fighter than enforcer) get "honorable" mentions. Edit - Someone @ me when there is a thread started on All time Greatest Power Forward.  @JustinOK34 GREAT thought. Man there’s a lot of options there. If his career wasn’t cut so short I’d go Cam Neely but I’m going full homer: Brendan Shanahan. Fight us.

Definately not the toughest, best, but Sasha Lakovic in the IHL was the most entertaining enforcer I've ever seen. He didnt do much in the NHL, but had one newsworthy fight against a fan.

 colorado avalanche detroit red wings rivalry claude lemieux darren mcarty That time when Darren McCarty coldcocked Claude Lemieux’s punk ass for the dirty hit on Kris Draper was one of the greatest punches thrown in hockey history. And then it descended into Peter Forsberg getting a whoopin, Brendan Shanahan beating Patrick Roy’s ass and Mike Vernon leaving the crease to get some. |

The documentary "Ice Guardians" goes along with this post well. Not sure if it is still on Netflix but worth a watch.
Also one of my all time favorite fight video is when George Laraque was mic'd up. Beautiful audio. |

They had it all. Their skating passing and scoring were legendary, their goalies were great, and then they had a full stable of goons to put the hurt on guys if need be. And they weren’t reckless either. Scotty was like a mafia don. |

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.) |

Sidney Crosby hands down! He will fuck you up by beating you with his purse.
He even has a tough guy name. I’m going with Tony Twist. More modern day, Ryan Reaves is a scary scary dude. But I’d say there really aren’t enforcers now the way there was back in the day.

It truly was the element that coalesced the team. The Avs were a monkey on their backs that needed to be thrown off. The Wings actually tried sparking the beatdown earlier in the season in Denver but they didn’t want anything to do with it for some reason. One of the funniest things from those great rivalry days was I watched a game between the Avs and some other team, like Calgary, in Denver and the Avs fans were chanting “Red Wings Suck”! |

I know hockey was just as good before the 90s, but too young to have experienced it. 90s had that time though where they dicked up the offsides rule so nobody could “tag up”. Those games were brutal. Combine that with the Trap system and some games were just horrible to watch. The 80s style tag-up/run and gun style is more my style. It’s a good mix now though, that they semi-reinstituted a tag up rule. The flow is back, just not as much as the 80s. You could have 4 guys offside so long as they tagged up... probably a nightmare for the linesmen to track but oh well.
