Toughest Little Guy (5'9" or under)

[fredez]

what the hell do you mean, "Actual players" The four you list from the past are 10 times the player you list as actual players. You meant to say current, didn't you?

Yeah, I meant current. Did you really think I was putting those four players over those four legends?

 

[fredez]

he said tough not *****.

As much as you hate him, the guy led the league in PIMs

 

[FLYLine27*]

Uhhh fleury EASILY!!!!

Garry Howatt of the Islanders gets my vote.

This is about the toughest not the best so Gary Howett gets my vote too.

 

[Reaper45]

he said tough not *****.

And Bertuzzi isn't ?

Anyways, my vote goes to Fleury.

[MacDaddy TLC*]

How tall is Gary Bettman?

 

[Jacques Plante]

Can't forget Henri Richard!

 

[Pinto]

Domi

Listed at 5'10 but is lucky to be 5'9''...

I'd say he's about 5'8

 

[FLYLine27*]

How tall is Gary Bettman?

4"11?

 

[MacDaddy TLC*]

We have our winner.

 

[John Flyers Fan]

Two little guys that can really throw 'em are Daymond Langkow and Mark Recchi.

 

[DownFromNJ]

Brian Gionta is probably the toughest current NHLer pound for pound.

He's like 5'7" with skates on.

 

[Classic Devil]

Verbeek...

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

How tall is Gary Bettman?

5'5''

Domi 5'8'', pinto?

 

[velimiiro]

Francis Bouillon 5ft8 200lbs.. this guy is really strong, and he looks like a bodybuilder. I remember Jose Theodore said that Bouillon may be 5ft8, but he plays like hes 6ft4, and its so true.

He's the modern day Rudy

 

[Avery4Byng*]

Theo Fleury

 

[tml_4ever]

Domi...can throw em when he wants to, which is like always

 

[Paxon]

Why am I the first person to put Ted Lindsay down here?

God bless your soul for doing it.

That Detroit team was something special. I love watching whatever I can find of them.

Remember the time Sergei Samsonov got into a fight? (I'm not 100% sure who it was against, maybe Kapanen...I'm sure it was against the Canes because it was all Sean Hill's fault)

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Toughest little guy ever... no contest, it's Tattoo from Fantasy Island. That sneaky little #&*!@%@ lured you in with his cheery smile and chubby little cheeks. Then, once you got in close he showed who was the "boss" by delivering painful blows to his opponents groin..

 

[Jacques Plante]

Fleury seems to be getting alot of love.

I was watching Classic Hockey on TSN last night from 1994 and there he was. With all of his 'problems' we tend to forget that he could play. He was a point a game player.

Stats:
GP 1084 G 455 A 633 PTS 1088 PIM 1840

What a shame...

 

[Lard_Lad]

Just remembered another memorable little guy: Mitch Wilson, the 5'9 guy the Penguins tried out as Lemieux's bodyguard for a few games in 86-87. Mario apparently wasn't impressed by the idea of having a guy a half-foot shorter than him protecting him.

 

[Shane]

Stan Jonathan.

 

[jiggs 10]

Stan Jonathon or Gary Howett, EASILY. Although that's only because I don't believe Ted Lindsay was "only" 5'9". I think he was 5'10" at least.

Theo Fleury? Whatever. Dave Keon was tougher than Theo! And he was a CLEAN player!
