Dirty players in your team's history that you loved

Tucker, Darcy

Came here to post this

For the Blues, 100% Pronger. The guy was a straight up beast on D but dirty as hell

 

[Syrinx]

Pens fan.
Ulf was dirty but for whatever reason way back then it didn't bother me and I loved his game. I fully understand why others hate him but the rough stuff was more acceptable league wide and it didn't bother me back then.
Dirtiest was Cooke but I was never a fan. After getting some years behind me, I had trouble watching the lack of regard for other players.

 

[Bileur]

My team never had a dirty player, I can’t relate.

Byfuglien is as dirty as it gets for the Jets. Loved the guy to bits.

But all Canucks fans are all going to say that psychopath Burrows.

Naz Kadri was a bit of a rat at times on the Leafs, but he was talented and worked hard and definitely made a big impact on helping turn the team around from being a laughingstock. Admittedly the dumb stuff did end up costing the Leafs a playoff series, but hard not to chalk him up as a net positive to the team during his tenure.

The Canucks of that era also have Kesler. That 2011 team actually had a few ratty players on it. Don’t get me wrong the Bruins were even more dirty but those Canucks weren’t saints by any measure.

Trevor Gillies, if he qualifies as a player, and Zenon Konopka, if he qualifies as dirty

Which penitentiary is Gillies doing time in?

 

[DaveG]

Never really liked Boulerice and f***ing HATED Ciccone. Didn't care much for Primeau either especially after his contract hold out.

Tuomo Ruutu was physical, not dirty. Same with Gary Roberts. LaRose was a pest, but not dirty.

Sean Hill or Scott Walker I guess? Even their dirtbag bonafides are weak at best.

Justin Williams

Lmfao at calling Williams dirty

 

[mclaren55]

Tucker, Naz, and Clark. Maybe I get some shit for Clark, but watch some of the stuff he use to do .

 

[Bone Breaker]

Avs despite their short history so far, have a quite big list that could be named here. if I'm picking just one, although he only played one season for the Avs (where they were champions. coincidence? ) I'd say Chris Simon. when I think of a "psychopath on ice", he is always the first that comes to my mind.

 

[Bowski]

Ulf Samuelsson, who not only knocked Neely out of the playoffs, but made Boston fans even more insufferable than thought possible.

Ulf making Milbury/Neely and the Boston fans so upset, was glorious. Neely actually messed up his thigh/knee going after Ulf:


But I think Kasparaitis was one of the best at delivering big hits on big hitters like Lindros.
Not as dirty as Cooke, just out there making headhunters pay for headhunting moves. Shame he never tagged Stevens with a career ender.


Beauty!

 

[Oilerfan88]

Chris Pronger

 

[Tyrolean]

Messier, Tikkanen, McSorley, Pronger, Torres.

Muni.

The “Lethal Lithuanian” was one of my favorites from his NYI days...He was a master of the hip check...I’ll never forget how he pissed off Messier.

 

[FMichael]

I honestly couldn’t think of any Red Wing player/s who were considered “dirty” (maybe McCarty’s sucker punch on Lemieux), but then I remembered this gem...



EDIT - I guess Kronwall could be on the list with how he used to hit/lunge into opponents.

His punking of Lemieux was something else as well.
Young guy, punching an entitled mega star down to the ice after recent cancer treatment, without anyone on the Pens retailiating. Isles win the series in 7 putting it past Barrasshole.

Glad the Penguins then decided to acquire him.

Yeah - I loved every minute of that!

 

[Hatfield]

Caps have never had any dirty players.

Scott Stevens

though it wasnt called much while he played, I find that mentality of play to be violent vs competitive

still my favorite childhood player

 

[Bowski]

Tribute to one of the dirtiest players in team's history that was loved.
Katie O'Malley looks to be a big supporter of this violence.

 

[M88K]

Derian hatcher

 

[Dynamite Time]

Didn’t care for dirty Sean Avery in Dallas.

Did enjoy more like pesky, aggressive agitators like Roussel, Ott, Morrow, Hatcher, Verbeek.

 

[Oddbob]

Claude Lemieux? He was a pest though, not dirty.

Kris Draper heavily disagrees, as do I!
