BEST FIGHTERS IN NHL
Kathleen H Sullivan
I must say that Tony Twist is the best fighter in the NHL at this point.
Check out Sports Illustratedsometime in the last 2 months. They have an
article about fighting and feature him. kordic is a DAMN good fighter, he
just has to be able to keep his balance better. Any thoughts on this
issue???/
do post.

They should give Kordic figure skates, and he can use the toe pick to dig in,
and punch... probably wouldn't hurt his hockey, either.

Twist is to the point he punches so freaking hard no one wants to fight
him.He's the champ by default(almost).Shows you what some quality steroid
abuse will do to ya!!! Twist also happens to be cool as hell off the ice
too and is big in charity events.
Kordic is a waste-he used to be my favorite player but now he's just a
chump.No punching power at all and no hockey skills.What the hell would be
the harm of bringing up the Animal???? I know he takes a beating in this
NG-but he has the skills of Kordic(NONE) but is a very entertaining
fighter.

Well, gang, hate to pee on your parade, but Donald Brashear of Vancouver would
kick the snot out of Twist and have more than enough to drop the very done
Domi. As for Kordic, I give him an A for effort, but he is too damn tall (All
the shorter guys get in under his reach and pummel him) and his windup is too
big(he fails to get that rapid-fire jackhammer effect). All in all, Lacroix is
a much better and more entertaining fighter. -RIC-

BZZZZTT!! Wrong. Try again. Brashear is a good fighter, but kick the
snot out of Twist? Are you high? He maybe can beat him two or three
times out of ten. Twist is the toughest. Noone's mentioned Chris Simon
either, who was voted top fighter in the NHL last year. I still think
Twist is the man. Kordic has taken Brashear decisevely. If I spelled
decisevely correctly. Brain-fart. Domi is a cement head who generally
gets out-punched by the top heavy-weights but still manages to generate
that serial-killer smile of his on the way to the box.

Here come the flame wars, but I have to put in my two cents worth.
I think these fighters, in no particular order, are the absolute best in the league.
Darren McCarty, Twist, Joey Kocur, Stu Grimson, Bob Probert (yeah, hes old, but I wouldnt
piss him off), and Tie Domi.

Twist is very big in charity events, and he is an avid weight lifter, no
steriods in his body.

No, they fought a week and a half ago, it was a draw. McCarthy is one bad
dude, though. He'd be in my top three, but Twist is my number one, of
course, he's my favorite player too, as I'm a Blues fan.

everyone he fights. What the hell is he doing??? He has decided to
trade blows with people and is getting killed. He should
watch some tapes of Langdon of the Rangers. Danny boy, you have the
reach advantage, USE IT! You are NOT quick enough to trade blows
with people.

In the pugilistic hierarchy here is my top ten in order right now (I
emphasize right now):
1. Tony Twist. The classic one punch knock out artist.
2. Sandy McCarthy. The guy is simply bad ass. No where near the strength of
Twist but fierce.
3. Chris Simon. He has slipped out of the number one spot due to injury.
Life goes on and he can regain it
again.
4. Stu Grimson. The Reaper is a first rate goon. I appreciate his ability to
stop once the guy is down but he is tough.
5. Darren Langdon. The guy is no heavyweight but he has fought just about
everyone to at least a tie. Stu Grimson still pounds him though. Darren has
scored a big win over Sandy earlier this season in Calgary.
6. Dan Kordic. Dan is definitely having an off year. A few weeks ago he had
trouble with glass jaw behemoth Eric Cairns of the Rangers. I am not sure
what it is, but Danny is not nearly as fierce as he once was.
7. Tie Domi. If shear toughness was the number one trait than little Domi
would be the man. Domi is fearless and fights a very tough fight. In the end
though, he is not going to knock out anyone (except for Ulf Samuelsson which
was very funny).
8. Paul Laus. Heads up people because this guy can fight and play.
9. Krystof Oliwa. I love the way this guy is in the fray every night. Not
quite the knock out artist but very tough and very ready to go.
10. A tie between Ray and Braschear. Ray's stock is down this year and
Brasheirs is up. Both belong on a list but I didn't have room.
Honorable mention: Two middle weights who are in the fray big time: PJ Stock
and Matthew Barnaby. I would love to see these two go. They are both rapid
fire punchers who do not hold the jersey. They just let em fly.
Toughest goalies: Gotta like Felix Potvin, Eddie Belfour and Ron Hextall.
But after seeing the way Dan Cloutier went at it, and his rep that comes
from Juniors and the AHL, you may be seeing a balance shift in the NHL very
soon. Looking for a goalie to go? In two weeks Cloutier of the Rangers will
likely have to face an entire Isles team that will want a piece of him. Than
we will see what kind of fighter he is.

OBVIOUSLY, you don't see Tie fight too much. (Mind you I don't see Twist
go at it too much either) Because he wins 8 or 9 out of every 10 fights.
He also leads the NHL in fights with 24 to date and counting. He also
has 340 pim. Most of the fighters are twice his size. And is closing in
on the great "Tiger" Williams record of 371 pim. "tiger" williams
ARGUABLY the best fighter EVER??????? Or maybe
John Kordic, "Spinner" Spencer, Chris Nilan, what do you guys think????/

See, Twist just doesn't ever lose. Domi wins about as much,
but he either wins or loses. And when he loses, he
gets killed. Twist also broke Rob Ray's orbital
bone and gave someone else a concussion.

Actually, I would give that to Bob Probert, or Marty
McSorley. Didn't McSorely bite the tip off of someone's
nose in the minors or something like that? I really didn't
see Williams in action like I saw Probert and McSorely in
their prime.
As an afterthought, I will give Domi one thing. The guy has
absolutely no fear. He will attack people twice his size
without hesitating.

Record 371 PIM? That cant be the league record. Probert had 398 in 87-88.
Best fighter I ever saw = Nicky Fotiu. Fearless, strong, a solid skater who
delivered huge checks, and pounded people mercilessly. Too bad he was a
Ranger!

Didn't mean to suggest that Bob has the record; just that I knew he had
more than 371. I looked all over the web for the actual record buty lo and

Ok, but that same pussy Leroux wouldn't even dress when the Avs played the
Blues this season while Twist was in the lineup. After that shit he
pulled against Twist with tape on his fists, he is scared shitless of him.
Kocur and McCarty both stay away from Twist when the Wings and Blues play

I should have said it was a Leaf record. But what about Tim Hunter. He's
third or fourth all time PIM (i think??) He was tough as nails, maybe
not the greatest scraper all time but holy fukin tough. He's had his

OK, maybe it wasn't all Leroux, but if Crawford hates Leroux so much, why
did Leroux play against the Blues last Saturday when Twist wasn't in the
lineup?? Why did Leroux play in the games leading up to the game I
originally referred to but all of a sudden didn't dress? Coincedence??
And even if Leroux wanted to play, he is still scared of Twist, because he
turtled the last time Twist dropped 'em with him(last year when Leroux was
still on the Pens)

Does anyone here remember Stan Jonathon??? He used to be NASTY!!! Semenko et al.
were nothing compared to him. No current goon could have taken Stan the man.
Come to think of it I don't think there has ever been a tougher fighter in NHL
history. If you can prove me wrong give it your best...don't tell me how much a
guy can press, that is irrelevant.

Two words: Rob Ray. He's even got his own rule. The NHL instituted the
"Rob Ray Rule" that players' jerseys must be tied down because when Ray

Nothing personal, pal, but Brashear is the original dancing bear. He
wrestles, he doesn't fight. I've seen Shawn "I Go Down Like A Sack Of
Shit" Antoski battle Brashear to a virtual draw on several occasions.
I've also seen Twist knock Antoski cold with very little effort.
Brashear may be very big, and he may look intimidating, but he ain't

Stan shows up on a couple of hockey fight tapes I have, and he sure was one
helluva fighter. I think you are probably right in the pure fighting sense
that he may have been the best. I still like Fotiu because he seemed a bit
more off the deep end and was so utterly unpredictable. In one segment I
have, Fotiu is in the stands serving a suspension, and a melee breaks out on
the ice. During the action, some non-player moron on the opposing bench is
holding a Ranger out of the action. Nicky bolts from his seat, down through
the guts of MSG, down the ramp and jumps the guy and starts beating on him!
Yeah! You know, the role of "enforcer" is so much different now than then.
I mean, for as good as Twist, Probert, Tamer, Domi, et al are, todays game
with its modified rules and the Burke/Buttman team in the league office the
true enforcer is a thing of the past. The Hammer, Stan Jonathan, Tiger
Williams, Fotiu, Nilan; now those guys and their peers, they were ENFORCERS!

By the time Holmgren came on the scene O'Reily was way over the hill (like Probert

whip some Hometown ass only to watch Stan Johnathon and Terry O'Reily kick the shit
out of anything in an orange sweater. I am still scarred after all of these years.
Bridgeman was the only Flyer who could go with O'Reily and yes he did win quite a
few, but he didn't use Terry as a whipping boy...the honor was reserved for Willie
Plett.

Are you saying Twist and Lindros have fought??? Cause I know that that
hasn't happened in the last three years, in fact, I don't think it's ever
happened...And the only fights Twist has lost in the past three years
where on the road(at Pitts and Dallas) I don't know what you're talking
about...

Bob Probert was the most feared fighter hokey has seen in years. Still
would be a major force if not for his rotator cuff injury. Joe Kocur
is another top fighter who rarely even gets challenged anymore.Many
simply skate away or wrestle with him.Fear is what makes a great
fighter.When the opponents woun't ene challenge THATS what it's all
about.

Like another poster here said, "I loved it when Ray pounded
Twists fist with his orbital bone. That was a classic."
Ray is upper echelon, but I will a couple that are
better. I don't get to see many other teams, so I am sure
that there are more.
1. Tony Twist
2. Bob Probert - old, but players still fear him

I doubt he could take Twist, though. There are probably 2
people in the league who can consistently fight Twist to a
draw.

OB Flyers: It was Antoski. They revived him in the locker room. I
remember he was out of the lineup for a while. Of course, Antoski
never was a very good fighter, even though fighting was about all he could
do with those bricks he has for hands. He's a fast skater, though;
too bad he didn't skate away from the Twister.

-who DOESN'T stay away from Twist anymore???????
In one short answer Tie Domi. He got in a fight with this guy Worrell
last night. Worrell is 6'6, 230, Domi is LUCKY to be 5'9 190. Domi
cracked him one right off the bat, then they wrestled and fell to the
ice. It was funny because Domi was wrestling with this guy and he barley
reached Worrell's chest. The fight was pretty much a draw, Domi wanted
to go with him again, but coach Murphy told him to stay away because he
didn't want tIE taking bad penalties. He stated this fact after the
game. Anyways I beleive Tie is the toughest, and if not, top 4 at the
very least. Pound for pound no question in my mind undisputed champion.
He leads the leauge in fights with 24 and counting. He has 346 pim
second in the leauge to Donald Brasher. Anyways back to my original
point, Tie isn't afraid of A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y. He'll scrap anybody regardless
`of whether he wins or loses. The ONLY way he will not fight a willing
combatant is if he's injured or has been told not to fight. Even if he's
injured he'll still fight. For instance he had a pretty good round with
Matt Johnson of the L.A Kings. He had a severly bruised hand and a bad
shoulder from a fight the previous night and he still went at it.

Big deal. The old time Flyers had lots of rules instituted because of
the way they fought..er...played.
Rob Ray? Hmmmmm.......seems to me, the last time I saw him he was
getting pounded by a Flyers goalie.........

Yes and no. He was there. but Ottawa recalled him. Just as well, he
fallooned up to three-hundred pounds, and was forced to go on a cabbage
soup starvation diet. Now he's 299. They didn't do too well with Fatty
anyway, as he ate well more than their profits could cover.
Imagine that, Falloon a liability.

I don't think anybody would doubt Tie's toughness or willingness to
fight, he's just not one of the ELITE fighters. He almost seems to
enjoy getting hit, and the fact he is so small means even if he
doesn't win it doesn't matter because of his size. Tie is top 10.
