Probert virtually always destroyed Domi, yet Domi would cruise around with his stupid Freddie Mitchell belt routine with that crap-eating grin on his face. God, did I hate Tie Domi, but not quite as much as I still hate Claude Lemieux, one of the greatest cheap-shot artists in the last 30 years of professional hockey.

Ulf Samuelsson pretty much ended the productive portion of Cam Neely's career and sent him into Dumb and Dumber, which was probably more productive for him as a human being anyway.

I think Lemieux and Domi are a lot different. At least Domi would drop the gloves with just about anybody. Lemieux was just annoying as hell out there and would NEVER fight. Reminds me of Sean Avery, a whole lot of talk but refused to back it up. But I can see why you hate Domi, unless he is on your team, he isn't very likeable. Lemieux is trying to get back in the NHL right now. Apparently he thinks he still can play.

Ulf Samuelsson was a scumbag. The tripod on skates. His claim to fame was kneeing/cheapshotting guys as they skated by. The "knee" on Neely was one of many he did. When Ulfie did once in a while drop the gloves, he always got the snot beaten out of him. For a bigger dude he was a giant pu#sy.

If you want to see a sick fighter, go watch some youtube videos of Glen Cochrane. He came up with the Flyers when they had Clarke,Kelly, Holmgren, Hoyda, Bridgman. What a sick team. Cochrane was probably the toughest in that crew.

Thats a tough call. Schultz was the leader of the Broad Streeet Bullies for a bit. You ever read his book, "The Hammer" ? GREAT BOOK. If you were a hockey fan in the late 70's early 80's and liked fighting, you will finish it in a day.

I'll look for the book. Thanks.

Have you finished your mano-a-mano with Justindew? I haven't looked at the thread for about five minutes.

Here is the book:

Nah, Justin and I had our yearly brawl. I am done arguing with the guy. Is a waste of time. He seems to have a reading comprehension problem. Is like arguing with a 6 year old.

Not really...Here is the complete archive of fights between the 2, though I give Probert the slight edge, Domi got his especially when the league starting coming down on Probert for losing his jersey which gave him a distinctive advantage in fights. Notice how he no longer destroys guys when he is forced to keep his jersey on. For this reason I think his reputation as the NHL's toughest fighter was grossly overrated.

For the record I would put Dave Brown on my list as one of the top if not top fighter in NHL history.

Dave Brown was awesome on those 80's-90's Flyers teams, no doubt.

If you haven't already check out his fights on youtube, he was mean, when he got someone on the ice he didn't stop. A lefty also.

Brown was a bada##. I remember when he crosschecked Thomas Sandstrom in the head at The Garden. The next day the NY Post had him on the front of the sports page with a Wanted Dead or Alive sign next to his face. Sandstrom most likely deserved it.

There's a fight of Brown vs. George Mcphee on youtube, I recommend anyone who is a fan of NHL fights to look up Mcphee. He was only listed as 5'9 175lbs. However the guy had to be the best pound for pound fighter of his time. He had some classics with some heavyweights, The Toccett fight was one of the all time best.

Yeah, McPhee was a tough mofo for his size. I watched that Tocchet fight.....is nuts.

I first saw George McPhee play in a 1984 rookie game between the Rangers and Devils at Totowa Ice World. Needless to say, he got thrown out for brawling with a guy named Greg Evtushevski. He was a Hobey Baker award winner, I believe, at Bowling Green Univ. Career cut short due to injuries.

I forgot about that, he was once the Hobey Baker winner. Real tough player, he fought Nystrom, Brown, Toccett x 2 and more than held his own. GM of the Capitals now.
