The Eddie Shore Award: Who would win it?

[NotWendell]

It'll never happen of course, but I would love it if the NHL added a new award for the most violent, badass, over the edge player in the league - the Eddie Shore Award for the most prominent display of old time hockey. If it existed this year, who would win it?

If you ask Leaf and Oiler fans it wold be Tkachuk in a walk

 

[ResilientBeast]

Your title is wrong, the correct player to idolize would be Sprague Cleghorn

Diving isn't old time hockey

 

[edguy]

Oh good another award for Crosby to win...

Only if you're a Pittsburgh fan
Crosby the opposite of the kind of guy that would this award.

Because going to 1 knee after taking a slash to the back of the leg is diving.

I'm sorry but why do Leaf fans care that much about Tkachuk?

 

[Martinez]

Gudas?

If a player in the NHL wants to win the Eddie Shore just get demoted to the AHL and be the best defender in that league.

 

[NotWendell]

Names that come to my mind: Brad Marchand, Brandon Dubinsky, Nazem Kadri and Milan Lucic

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's tough to say because I can't think of anyone whose really done all of that lately. Maybe Dubi? We're in an era where the edgy guys won't oblige to a fight, and the guys that will fight aren't cheap shot artists.

Nah, needs to be someone whose gloves aren't glued on after doing questionable ****.

C'mon! Dude racked some nuts and chopped a finger this week alone!

How would you know if his gloves are glued on? The Kings just clotheslined him and did nothing else the rest of the game. When he was challenged after hitting Saad earlier in the year he had no issue dropping the gloves. Maybe the problem was your Kings and not Tkachuk

Ever since the last Flames/Leafs game they haven't quit calling him dirty

He's got 98 penalty minutes and a number of cheap shots to his name but only 2 fights, one vs. Cramarossa and one vs. Wennberg. It's not rocket science. The guys leading him in PIMs have an average of 9 and a half fights each.

Eddie Shore had five fighting majors in one game.

Get this ****ing coward Tkachuk out of the Eddie Shore thread.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Eddie Shore was probably the meanest hockey player of all time. As a coach he terrorized his players. Completely ruthless and also the best player in the game.

I can't think of anyone who has been that in the NHL in even a handful of games in at least a decade

Your ass seems really chapped, might I recommend those Charmin wipes? They will moisturize a bit, might help with the irritability. Can't call a guy a coward when your team has no heart to challenge him.

And who gives a **** if Shore had 5 fights in a game? By that standard no one in the NHL is a decent candidate.

If we're going for "The Eddie Shore Award," getting a buttload of penalty minutes and cheapshots but having only two fights seems like a pretty good DQ. You were the one touting him.

Sounds like you're out of Charmin wipes or I'd borrow some!

 

[erikk3]

I think Tom Wilson is a prime candidate. Lots of questionable hits and likes to drop the gloves

 

[leafsfuture]

Uncle Leo

Some of the other guys talk too much to be "old-timers".

 

[Empoleon8771]

I honestly don't know who would win this. Maybe Lucic? Someone who's capable of throwing out big and questionable hits who can also back himself up while being good at hockey. I think Tkachuk also has a legit argument here.

diving is as old as hockey It's worse in the recent game, but it happened through out history. It is not bad ass though.

 

[Peanut]

Tkachuk

 

[KarmaPolice]

Kassian is pretty crazy, and willing to fight anyone. Just my homer vote. Lucic is also a tough customer, as well as Maroon and Nurse... Geez, our team is pretty tough now. Well done, Chia.
