"Gary Roberts (CW)"
What is that, a joke? If so, it's funny....But not "ha-ha" funny.
No Scott Walker on the hurricanes list? Come on...
if people are gonna nit pick, there's not a player on the caps but flash, nyls, and Koz who won't drop the gloves and fight hard.
You need to re-examine a lot of these. Gary Roberts is a solid middleweight, as someone said already. Also, how is Aaron Boogaard a HW but Matt Kassian (the only guy to beat him in juniors last year and voted the OHL's toughest man) is a CW? Valabik is a CW? Come on...
I think you can put Shane Doan on that list for the Coyotes as well. (CW?)
You are all ugly, burly women. Okay, I'll concede to some of these. Roberts should be a MW, although he is a better enforcer then Georges Laraque (or at least he was the better of the two last year!). Scott Walker had three fights last year. And since the Canes MIGHT be the weakest team in the NHL, we'll add him. Ogre, well said. Flash, Nylander, and Kolzig (he did "fight" his best man a few years back, right) to the list. Matt Kasian should be a HW; that is a great YouTube fight BTW. Tough kid. Valibik has fought some tough guys in the past two years including Bonvie, Tetarenko, Scott, and Barch. He's stays a CW for now. Thanks guys.
Uh.. You guys overlooked a big one... Ray Emery.. ha
Minny's John Scott at 6'9" 258 lbs has probably outgrown the CW division
No Kolzig for the Caps, what a shame.
Kassian is definately a HW. He could realistically be the next Troy Crowder/Derek Boogaard in the NHL. He's rock solid in fights. Valabik should be a MW at least based on how well he fights. He doesn't drop them that often but when he does he generally makes a statement. And at 6'5 230 it's tough to argue with what he says.
Lucic is in the same class as Boogaard and Kassian. Anyone of the three could arguably considered the WHL champ last season. Several clips of Lucic fighting Boogaard and Kassian are on youtube.
omg hahaha, shane o'brien & jay leach are on the same TEAM!? or at least within the same organization?!
ahahahha... well, that's going to look a lot different than this...
Lucic most definitely a HW.
Anaheim is just the Ducks now - no Mighty
