Your Team's All Time Tough Guy Lineup
 

Say your team was about to have an all out brawl. What would be your all-time fighting lineup? Only rules: Player must have played 3 seasons with your team.

Primeau - Lindros - Tocchet (line ensures we actually win the game :laugh:)
Berube - Brown - Schultz
Holmgren - Brashear - Kordic
Kelly - Bridgman - Fedoruk

Hatcher - Pronger (again, ensures a victory)
Wilson - Dupont
Van Impe - McCrimmon

Hextall
Snow

Can anybody beat these goons (and very tough skill players)?

I personally think The Chief was the best pound for pound fighter of all time. He may be the only guy to beat Probert 3 times, and imagine if he were 6'3" 230 instead of 6'1" 205. I doubt he'd ever have lost. A ton of other guys who up there who were heavyweight champs and extremely feared. Can anybody top this? Boston? St. Louis?

Glen Cochrane has to make the team on D..had some nice seasons in the early 80s..paired up with Mark Howe i think...im sure he had over 300 PiMs one year at least..

Lucic-Thornton-Neely
Cashman-Sanderson-O'Reilly

Grimson-Kocur-Probert (broken orbital bones for everyone on your team)
Polonich-Downey-Tiger Williams

Konstantinov-Larson
Chelios-Watson

Can't think of any other tough guy goalies

Ryane Clowe-Dody Wood-Owen Nolan
Scott Thornton-Scott Nichol-Andrei Nazarov Jeff Odgers-Mike Ricci-Ronnie Stern
Jody Shelley-Mark Smith-Scott Parker

Bryan Marchment-Douglas Murray
Link Gaetz-Jim Kyte
Rob Davison-Doug Zmolek

no goalies worth ****.

Sabres would just need to send 5 guys over the boards ...

Rob Ray
Brad May
Matt Barnaby
Larry Playfair
Bob Boughner

:fight:

I cut the copied the post above me and made changes
Ryane Clowe-Joe Thornton-Owen Nolan
Scott Thornton-Mike Ricci-Todd Harvey
Jeff Odgers-Dody Wood-Tim Hunter
Ronnie Stern-Mark Smith-Scott Parker

Bryan Marchment-Douglas Murray
Kyle Mclaren-Rob Blake
Marty Mcsorely-Link Gaetz

Vernon
Belfour

Thornton is underated in the toughness department, pretty good fighter, destroyed Getzlaf, yeh he lost to Lindros, but it's freakin Eric Lindros.
idk much about Link Gaetz but 326 pim in 48 games??Tim Hunter had 135 in 46 which is impressive,but that has to be some sort of record
edit: ohh there was another one further up that was pretty close. oh well

joe Thornton? he's not that tuff...

going by fighters only

Brashear Coxe Williams
Odjick Kurtenbach Neely
Fraser Langdon Rypien
Atoski Hordichuk Delorme

Snepsts Mcilhargey
Brookbank McAllister
Richter Walker

Cloutier

Joe definitely is underrated in toughness. Link Gaetz was an animal, you should go look up his fight with Bob Probert, its pretty intense. He fought everyone and pretty much was a an untamed beast, both on and off the Ice. Hunter was a feared fighter who was decent defensively.

Go to Youtube, type in "Joe Thornton fights". Problem solved

Emery
Lehner

Chara Carkner
Phillips Hnidy
Lambert Vial

Van Allen Smith Neil
Ruutu Fisher Roy
Mcgrattan Foligno Donovan
Bass Kelly Ray

Some haven't played 3 seasons, but have been with the system for 3 years plus. Defense is pretty scary. Forwards is ok, Fisher is our best player who could throw down.

gotta get stock in there somewhere!

yup, youtube, thornton vs lindros :)

Malone-Lecavalier-Downie
Dingman-Gratton-Tucker
Craig-Tarnasky-Roy
Dwyer-Wiemer-Clymer

Ciccone-Poeschek
Pratt-Sarich
Bergevin-LiPuma

Smith
Cloutier

Guys who didn't make the 3 year minimum cutoff, but would have made the team otherwise:
Konopka (2 seasons, 3rd all-time in TB fights)
DeBrusk
Barnaby
Myhres
McCarthy

I also swapped out Cullimore-Kubina, with Bergevin-Lipuma, as although the former had more fights, they were much less frequent than the shorter stinted latter pairing.

Secord-Mikita-Nesterenko
Probert-Roenick-D Graham
Bulley-Ruskowski-Duane Sutter
Grimson-Burish-Cummins

Chelios-Magnuson
S Smith-Manson
P Russell-B McGill
Peluso, Marchment, Fleming

Belfour
Rollins

Keenan

So many great candidates for the defense. Which is depressing, since the Hawks have so few today. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

:habs
John Ferguson - Newsy Lalonde - Maurice Richard
Shayne Corson - Doug Risebrough - Chris Nilan
Scott Thornton - Ryan White - Turner Stevenson
Donald Brashear - Todd Ewen - John Kordic

Emile Bouchard - Larry Robinson
Sprague Cleghorn - Lyle Odelein
Lou Fontinato - Stephane Quintal

"The Missing" Link Gaetz :amazed:

This 3 year criteria really handicaps the Flames. Now I can't include Chris Simon, Stu Grimson, Craig Berube, Jimmy Kyte, Rocky Thompson, The Polish Hammer Oliwa, etc.

But we still have Tim Hunter, Sandy McCarthy for heavy's and Ronnie Stern, Jim Peplinski, Gary Roberts, Iginla for guys that can score and fight. We would have to have Neil Sheehy on Defence, that fumanchu he used to wear was pretty imposing!

Gary Roberts - Rick Vaive - Wednel Clark
Shayne Corson - Tiger Williams - Darcy Tucker
Kris King - Owen Nolan - Tie Domi
Colton Orr - John Kordic - Craig Berube

Dion Phaneuf - Tim Horton
Todd Gill - Rob Ramage
Wade Belak - Bob McGill

Ed Belfour - Felix Potvin

Pat Quinn as coach

This line up is just tough guys, there are no centers right left wing etc... just forwards dmen and goalies

We can do better... starting with losing Antoski, he was terrible. Didn't have the balance of a two year old. Walker played forward... and we had better tough guys than Brookbank, Hordi (at least during his time with our team) and McAllister.

This works a bit better, IMHO

Odjick Kurtenbach Williams
Fraser Rypien Walker
Momesso Scatchard Brashear
Hunter Coxe Delorme

Snepsts Mcilhargey
Richter Butcher
Jovo Diduck

Cloutier
Potvin

I especially like the Fraser Rypien Walker line. One of the strongest middleweight combos any team could come up with. They could probably take the Bruins hypothetical MW line of Stock-Linseman-Jonathan.

[QUOTE]Any other player who ever wore a Sharks uniform should be in before Rathje. 6'-5" 240 and 5 career fights against the likes of Jeremy Roenick and Jamie Pushor. He got fighting majors aginst Simon and Chasse but never even threw a punch in either and got pummeled. Hands down the softest big guy ever in the league.

How about Jimmy Kyte? And Vernon in the net? He has over 250 PIMs. Stern only played 2 seasons with the Sharks so maybe slip Dody Wood in there.

The rest of the list is good though.

Maybe even Nazarov too. DAMN the Bruins have had some scary players

Semenko - Messier - Anderson
Laraque - Weight - McClelland
MacIntyre - Arnott - Tikkanen
Buchberger - MacTavish - Hordichuk/Stortini/Eager

Lowe - S. Smith
J. Smith - Beukeboom
McSorley - Debrusk
