Compare him to the other "top guy" of his generation, LARaque, the difference is Crystal clear. You think Brashear would wish someone good luck before a fight? Doubt it. You think Brashear would have let Lucic off the hook so easy, coaches orders or not? Brashear would have just dropped Lucic.

As far as pure intimidation, ability, willingness, aggressiveness, reputation and longevity....Brashear is the ultimate tough guy.

I'm not sure if the Hockey News has any respect around here, but they did give him the Enforcer of the Decade award in 2010.

Marty clubbed him because earlier in the game Brashear took out Byron Dafoe, ending his season.

Again, I've never heard anyone outside of here call him "huggy bear", but I have heard Lucic called "Lu- chicken" in many conversations for pissing himself when Mr Friendly came calling, so by your logic, nicknames mean something, eh?

Enforcer of the Decade 2000-2010 by the hockey news...nuff said.

Oh, he also played in TWO World Championships, scoring 5 points in 8 games in 1997.

#2 No he didn't. Lucic May have pussed out, but I don't think he would be that disrespectful.

I was calling you a ladies gym assistant manager. I legit feel bad for you right now, lol.

Anyways Brashear would beat ANY Bruins enforcer in history. Even your hero Steve Leach.

Yeah but Cookie Monster has been making veiled troll remarks about Lucic or a Bruin in nearly all his posts. He surely has been selective when trying to make an analogy...that's for sure.

Since he's insistent on dragging Lucic and co. into this thread to try and piss off Bruins fans.....I'll give him a video to reminice too and what not.

Here's the aforementioned Lucic picking apart your team's Heavyweight.
