    Tony Twist! That guy was insane, I could never figure out how he didn't bust every bone in his hand the way he'd be swinging that right hand like a madman

    Disgusting list. Obviously the writer is a young kid whose knowledge is limited to modern times. He obviously threw in the schulz's and williams and shores(lol probably doesnt have a clue about him) for good measure. Gordie Howe at 21 biggest laugh. Hes tougher then any of those guys by far.

    Still shakin my head on this one.

    yeah I was kinda wondering where Gilmour was on that list...I watched that guy play a whole series on a broken ankle one season, if that's not toughness then I don't know what is

    tony twist was an absolute beauty, kocur was a pretty tough kid i remember back in the day, what about laraque, that guy was one of the most feared fighters for a good few years.

    and where is Mac T on this list. That guy never used a dome. How can u say some of those players are tougher than him, when they are all using domes except progner, i guess somebody in edm should of explained to him why we use domes and what they do

    The write up on Wendall Clarke

    He stuck up for teammates whenever he could, and his most famous bout came while sticking up for Doug Gilmour in 1993. I get goosebumps, watching the all-heart Clark go all out for a teammate like that.

    I was living in toronto during this playoffs and remember you had to be careful on yonge street late at night, before the playoffs on HNIC they showed this clip of Wendall's cowboy boots walking yonge street and then panning up to his face like he was untouchable. I would want a guy like that watching my back on yonge, just like Dougie had him watching it on the ice.

    Skating up behind a guy and smacking him in the head with your stick when he can't see you is, like.....the opposite of tough.
