Who Is Best Tough Guy In NHL History?
 
Who do you think is the best tough guy in NHL history?



for me Stan Johnathon or John Wiensienk

I still go back to the Bruins of the late 80's for my favorite tough guys: Lyndon Byers, Willie Plett, and Lyndon Byers.

Overall, though, I'd have to label Dave "Tiger" Williams as the best. Bob Probert is a close second. Tie Domi is third.

Toughest ever? That's truely tough. Gordie Howe was known for his stick handling, and his fistacuffs, never backed down. Bob Probert was a great fighter/intimidator, only in his coke years. Domi is a bad ass at 5'5", but not the toughest.

I'll keep thinking about this...

i was at the game Johnathan rearranged Bouchard's face in the playoffs years ago - he pummeled him so hard he broke his hand and switched to the other - created a new face off circle - it was AWESOME!!!

i'd have to say Terry O'Riley, Tiger Williams, Bobby Clark (aka Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Clark), and Dave "the hammer" Schultz...
Cam Neeley is no slouch either - went to the game when he and Ulfie met for the last time - now THAT was a fight - both thrown out in the first minute!!!:D

Gordie Howe would have cleaned their clocks... every one of 'em... then scored the game winning goal!

streak_56 12-19-2003 01:20 PM

Playing now:

Tie Domi-no contest
Sandy McCarthy-when he was still plaiyng for Calgary.... oh the memories.

Then:

Gordie Howe-Best that ever played period, and best all around player. Hard nosed and scored goals. Nothing better than that.
Dave Williams-All time Badass. No one will ever be compared to him.

Any goalie who played without a mask.

Jadey 12-29-2003 02:56 AM

I'm only a casual hockey fan and don't know much about anyone that played before about 1993--but I've always thought Tie Domi was a super-thug.

metalgeek 01-03-2004 05:40 AM

Unfortunetly I have a problem ith tought guys near the end of there careers that decide there good players (mcarthy, domi, etc)
Pure fighter, possibly probert, all around Mr. Howe himself (and maby his protoge Mr. Iginla)

jcookc6 01-03-2004 03:52 PM

1.Gordie Howe
2.John Ferguson
3. Bobby Orr

do you actually watch hockey domi still fights, and if you consider Sandy Mcarthy a good player i have some swampland in jersey to sell you. Jerome Iginla tough please the goddamned kid still wears a visor who has he fought Pavel Bure maybe give me a break. watch the game sometime it's pretty good.

Sion 01-03-2004 07:19 PM

Ulf Samuelson may not have been the toughest ever, but he was plenty tough. Kept other teams from beating up on Lemieux and Jagr.

silent_jay 01-03-2004 08:44 PM

Ulf Samuelson this thing is going down the crapper, if i wanted the best chickenshit of all time we have a winner in Ulf. he couldn't keep Cam Neely from kicking the shit out of him how was he supposed to protect Mario and Jagar? have you people ever played the game, do you at least watch it? what happened to the people who posted who actually knew tough guys.

Nikilidstrom 01-04-2004 09:36 AM

I think you are all forgetting about one of the top hockey bad asses of all time, Tony Twist

silent_jay 01-04-2004 09:46 AM

I love Tony Twist and yes i did forget about him thanks for reminding me. now a real tough guy we're back on track

silent_jay 01-04-2004 08:00 PM
