[Martinez]

Backstrom
Edit. Scratch that, Semin. The famous bongo player

 

[HansonBro]

Not Martin that's for sure

 

[izzy]

Reaves or Backstrom

 

[bobbydigital]

Tootoo.

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Dorsett or Gudbranson.

 

[wolfgaze]

What's this fighting you speak of?

 

[Mypetrobot]

Fighter? None.

Best grappler and tigger of jerseys then that's open to debate.

We'all never see 90's and 00's fights again. Legislating it out of the game.

 

[Mobiandi]

Iggy can still throw down can't he? Never was the best fighter in the 2000s, but must be up there now that fighting is incredibly rare

eh I'm OK with that. 90% of those fights were staged. I like fights where it's part of the game.

Chara.

 

[firstemperor]

It's Chara, his reach and size provides a huge advantage in the context of a hockey fight.

 

[McDNicks17]

If you don't mind including a guy in the AHL who has played a handful of NHL games this season, I'd go with Gazdic.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Lehner

Gazdic or Reaves are the answers. Chara? Grappling contest. Igilna? LOL. Nowadays you can include Engelland and Neil too and Lucic.

 

[Neuf]

Thorburn. I've seen him absolutely bludgeon other guys' fists with his face in ways no one else does.

 

[Mypetrobot]

What's the point of a fight if they are throwing punches to a helmet and shield?

You can't remove helmets, linesmen actively try and break it up....

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Homer vote for Reaves

 

[10Ducky10]

Nikolaj Ehlers....................he's unbeaten.

[774coach]

Biased opinion, but I nominate Adam McQuaid

 

[Leafs87]

Lucic or Chara

 

[antman12]

His name is Simmonds. Wayne Simmonds.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Reeves is up there, but Dalton Prout should get some consideration.

Seriously - the guy made Lucic taste his nut sack not that long ago.

 

[Sheppy]

Gazdic
Reaves
Lucic
Neil
McQuaid

In that order.

Reaves
