Let me get this off my chest. Ulf Samuelsson, although a great all around defenseman, was one of the biggest cheap shot artist of his time. Was there anyone else who had more disrespect for "the code" then him? First off, he was a tough guy who wore a visor and was wearing anti-tank equipment during his entire career. If that wasn't bad enough he played a tough style, agitated players beyond belief and often faked injuries. He's also responsible for ending the careers of Mondue and Neely. Ulf almost never dropped the gloves when asked later in his career. With that being said, most teams would have had him in a heart beat and he did contribute to multiple Stanley cups.
The reason why I being this thread up is because Ulf is known as one of the dirtiest players, however, was he as dirty as people make him out to be? We all know that there were tons of dirty hockey during the late 80's and 90's. It's obvious he was a pest but my most important question is this. In your opinion, did he intend to injure or "take players out"
