Dunno if it’s still the case, but Eichel used to be up there for dudes you couldn’t knock off the puck. Insane leg and core strength, he’d just absorb a 220 pound checker and still go where he wanted.
This past spring while watching the Cup Finals I had to double take at the tv - thinking that I had seen a bear in the Panthers locker room…A few seconds later the figure in question turned around and I then realized I was looking at a shirtless Gudas from behind…Back hair and muscle.Radko Gudas
I nominate Matthew Tkachuk.
This was one of my favorite hits in recent memory
Big buff was the strongest I've ever seen. He said he wasn't even going 100% because he feared if he did, he'd kill guys.
In today's NHL, idk. Olivier & Xhekaj come to mind.

Dustin Byfuglien was special. When he played, it was easily him. I miss watching big buff manhandle 2-3 players at once in scrums.

Hated him because of it but I do miss seeing him on the ice.Dustin Byfuglien was special. When he played, it was easily him. I miss watching big buff manhandle 2-3 players at once in scrums.
