POLL ADDED: Best Tough Guy in the NHL

Carcillio can be more than just a goon. he's got a very underrated skillset.

I would have loved to have this guy instead of Neil.

Grass is always greener I guess.

Between which fighters?

Best fighter who can play a regular shift...

Chara, Lucic, Neil, Clarkson, Lapariere, Burrows, O'Brien....

I guess Chara might be the overwhelming favourite?

Is it the best fighter that can play... or the best player that can fight?

Chara is the answer to both.

He can put up some goals and drop his gloves, but he isn't any kind of leader right now - and he has an attitude problem. And he thinks he deserves top minutes. Everything about this guy is an issue.

Neil is 100% a classier, better player at this stage of their careers. In the future, maybe, now, Neil all the way.

Sure, we could do a poll like this, but I wouldn't put an all-star D-man in there. Just as I wouldn't put Iginla (who can fight), Phaneuf etc. This should be reserved for fighters who have some semblance on talent.

"Other" it is...

I can add guys on, who is it?

I guess it all depends on if you view the guy as a fighter first or a player first... I certainly don't view Chara as a fighter first and player second.

I view Chara as the most intimidating figure in the NHL.

A guy who will hammer you, shot like a cannon, pound the living daylights out of even the toughest guys....

I am soooo glad we are rid of him

If only he had been a little more "good in the community".

Dude was a total cancer in the room.

Chara was chemotherapy in that room. I hope you were being sarcastic.

Yes, most certainly.

Damn I miss him.

Right now, have to go with Dr. Rooney's hero, Mr. George Parros...a real heavyweight who can play. Ottawa boy Ben Eager is making a name for himself too as a Big Bad Blackhawk...

(Haven't seen Lucic go up against either one...has anyone else?)

Two guys who can rock and roll, and hurt you on the scoresheet.

:##:

Parros and his 9 career goals.
