Claude Lemieux, Dale Hunter, Tom Wilson. I don't care about Devils and Flyers but I loved Stevens and Lindros too.

I'm not sure I'd say love, but Ryan Suter?

He once slashed Johnny Hockey 87 times in one game.
(But no, seriously, he's gotten away with a lot of stick work in his career)

Honestly as a Habs fan I dont know if they really ever had a dirty player? Prust maybe? Dont recall anything overly dirty.

I think the only Habs to be suspended in the last twenty years is Pac ? Am I missing something?

Subban and Emelin both were on the line but never actually went out of their way to injure.

Everyone's going to expect us to say Marchand for Boston. Unpopular opinion but I think Marchand's reputation is overstated and largely stems from some incidents from early in his career, he's been playing clean for 3 years now, and pretty much all the disciplinary actions after about 2013 were reputation-driven and not assessed on their own merit.

I mean. His last suspension was that 5 game one for his elbow on Johansson which was bad. He was suspended the year before for low bridging Borowiecki. Those were definitely dirty plays that weren't reputation driven.

However he's done a really good job at towing the line since the Mojo incident.

Never on my team but Big Buff was my favorite hockey player. A bad man!

Not really sure who this would be for Carolina. Jeff Skinner tried to kick a guy once?

I just read a list that said Keith Primeau was the dirtiest Hurricane, but nobody liked him anyway.

Domi.

Though I took big issue whenever he did something obviously dirty. Especially Niedermayer, which I believe to this day cost the Leafs the 2000-01 Stanley Cup, or at least a shot at it.

The Samuelsson incident is the only exception.

I have always liked how opposition fans were saying Dillon Dube looked like a homeless man. Kinda funny. :laugh:

Matt Cooke before he left Vancouver. He wasn't that dirty or reckless actually.
