ALL-TIME POUND FOR POUND CHAMPION: Stan Jonathan

ALL-TIME BIGGEST PLAYER FEUD: Ulf Samuelson and Cam Neely.
Hatred between two players that went far beyond the ice surface of the NHL.

ALL-TIME TOUGHEST TEAM: Boston Bruins 1977-1980

Good choices here, Stu Grimson was the other player I was having a tough time not putting under most improved. He certainly earned very strong consideration. Marty definitely made his enforcer name while "guarding" Gretsky. Wensink had quite the rep for sure and had the intimidating look going on.

Linesman was another name for best agitator for sure. The Kordic-Miller fights were a gimme every game the Bruins and Canadiens played. The Nystrom-Bridgeman fight was one of the best I've every seen. Philly and the Kings was a great brawl especially the Bridgeman-Jenson fights and Holmgren-Holt match up. Yes, Terry O'Reilly always provided excitement!

Probert-Coxe was another one I was thinking of. It was fantastic as was the Delorme-Macoun go. Semenko was quite imposing and had a tremendous reputation which gave lots of space to his teamates. He also had a NASTY streak! Claude Lemeiux was another kettle stirer. He would definitely make my top list for this catagory.
