The toughest players to wear the Maple Leaf sweater
Mon 09 Jan 2012 21:05:03 | 1 comments
With NHL fighting slowly tampering off
as most clubs look for not only a player that can fight but a player
that can fight and still play a role with the club. The days of clubs
carrying enforcers that play 4 minutes a game look to be coming to an
end as the NHL slowly moves in a different direction.
It is hard to argue the NHL's direction, with the league at its highest levels in revenue, TV contracts, attendance and TV ratings. The league is not looking to abolish fighting at this time but for as many that enjoy this practice, there are just as many that feel if they want to watch a fight they will tune into a boxing or mixed martial arts contest.
The Maple Leafs have had their share of enforcers with some not only being able to fight but also play the game. There have been some mean umbres wearing the blue and white over the course of this franchise and I take a look at who I feel are the 10 toughest players to wear the Maple Leaf sweater.
