Don't know if Jeff Odgers is an unknown, but he was onebof my favorites. Stood up for everyone and worked his ass off on teams that were terrible in San Jose. Was also part of the culture change when they got better. Could play a bit of hockey, too.
First name that came to mind, and he doesn't seem to be quite as much of a deep cut as some of the ones listed here, is Donald Brashear. Bialowas is a very good call, too.
How is "The Don" Donald Brashear not well known. He is top 20 all time, definitely not unknown.
If we're looking at middleweights,consider Stan Johnathan.Garry Howatt, middleweight who took on the heavyweights (especially the Flyers) and handled himself very well. Beat the tar out Schultz at least once.
Ryan Vandenbussche favorite all time. I really liked Jim Vandermeer as well. Others not widely known
Joel Rechlicz very entertaining
Trevor Gillies because I know him.
Jon Mirasty Jermey Yablonski same as wrecker
Kevin Sawyer and Paul Laus. Are two others when I started watching hockey who I liked.
Known enforcers
Bob Probert Stu Grimson Derek Boogard Colton Orr Brian McGrattan.
Guys I hated
Donald Brashear Aaron Downey Chris Simon Dale Puriton Andrew Peters. Early Stortini pretty much guys like him in the beginning who hugged and not throw.
I remember a great fight between Lucic and Rechlicz and I'll never forget Jack Edwards awesome line "Rechlicz is being reckless... with his face" and "hes assaulting Lucic' knuckles with his nose".
That was a great fight.
Jack edwards is brutal
Mark Major was frightening.
