Bob Clarke Fan Club said:Joe Kocur was my personal fav...talk about one-punch ko power. Jim Kyte was never the same.
STS said:Has to be Clark Gillies as heavyweight. O'Reilly challenged him I believe it was four times in the 1980's playoffs and got beat badly all four times. He was the perfect enforcer - could play the game with the best of them but when it came time to drop the gloves watch out. I'll never forget when he wiped the ice with Dave Scultz in the Spectrum during the 1978 playoffs ( please correct me if I am wrong on the year)and it totally deflated the Flyers and their fans. Don't think Schultz ever challenged him again after that.
Gave Bossy and Trottier all the room they needed to do the scoring but pick on them and you had to answer to "Jethro". The same with Probert in Detroit with Yzerman and Semenko with Gretzky in Edmonton.
Psycho Joe said:John Ferguson. Could score 30 and was one of the most feared heavyweights in the NHL. He is the standard.
Just as an aside, he scored 145 goals in 500 games. That works out to about 24 goals per 82 games played.Jacques Plante said:Well said. A 2 time 20 goal scorer in a time where 20 goals was a good season. The guy kept everyone on the other team in line and wasn't a liability when out on the ice.
