In all fairness, if you created a hockey player who had Chara's reach, Wilson's balance, Twist's prime strength, Brown's left, Kocur or Twist's right, Langdon's stamina and intelligence, Probert's ferocity, McKenzie's ability to switch hands, PJ Stock's willingness, and Dave Semenko's fairness , you'd have a monster that would get into about 10 fights, destroy every single guy he fought and who would likely never get another fight in the NHL.

He'd be TOO GOOD!

However, what we've created is the guy from Rocky IV, Ivan Drago but a little taller and Rocky chopped him down. He didn't have Rocky's heart!

perhaps one tid-bit more - Rob Ray's accuracy

Speed?? Kimble was fast HOWEVER although I have yet to see it, I have heard that he was absolutely destroyed by Todd Gill in St. Louis, Gill could bring the "speed" like no other in my books.......and Berube?? sure he was fast but Clark one punched him as they 'squared off'.......just sayin'.

I'd have no problem with anyone who used the name 'Gill' in the speed or switching hands categories, as for Clark, his very underrated 'switching of the hands' or more so his 'power' and 'speed' would not be poor choices either.

How about John Kordic for speed? 1985-86ish? He could throw the lefts pretty quick...

Why does it have heart, willingness, never quit, courage, and determination? I think there are some other things that are the same thing like power and strength. I think we can separate willingness from heart.

They are all the same thing in my opinion or is it just a chance to add more names?

These would be better categories-

Willingness-Domi/Stock/Laus/Oliwa
Heart- Jonathan/Probert/Nystrom
Strength-Twist/Kocur/Gaetz/Laraque
Balance-Wilson/Probert
Taking a Punch- Wilson/Domi/John Kordic
Hand Speed-John Kordic/Kimble/Berube
Stamina-Langdon/McSorley
Switch Hands-McKenzie/Probert/Clark
Tying Up- Brashear/Kocur/Langdon
KO Power-Twist/Kocur/Boogaard
Intelligence-Langdon/Roberge/Tim Hunter
Lefty- Dave Brown/John Kordic
Righty- Twist/Kocur/Ray
Intimidation- Twist/Boogaard/Dave Brown
Craziness- Steve Durbano/Enrico Ciccone/Dave Schultz

What a fun exercise, picking the best qualities of each guy and some have multiple good qualities.

I added craziness which is a fun category.

I just cut and pasted the criteria someone else posted. Here's who I would have in the criteria you just added that I don't think was totally covered in my last one:

Hand Speed-Nick Fotiu
Stamina- Tim Hunter
Tying Up- Brashear
Intimidation- Twist
Craziness- Link Gaetz

Eggcellent.

Yeah, that wasn't directed at you, I think BBBB was the first to post the criteria and seems like there are repeats of the same things.

Gaetz was/is a crazy dude, jeez.
