No brainer here. Didn't OKT play for Columbus?

[Isles4life]

If anyone votes for any team but the Ducks I don't know what they've been watching all season.

[bustoff]

The Blues should've been included.

[JKidd]

Obviously its the Ducks...

[mckendo83]

easiest vote so far...even easier than WORST enforcing team (picked carolina by the way...though detroit is obvious choice)

[Kikuchiyo]

Tough choice, but after contemplating this for about 1,3 seconds I finally made up my mind.

[nyrgoal]

the ducks almost doubled the amount of fights in every other team in this poll and they had 7 times the amount of fights the dam wings had

[stevecanuck16]

Yeah, definite no brainer here.

[Snipes19]

It's easily Anaheim. They are loaded and are probably the toughest team in the league.

They ARE the broad-street bullies this year. What an exciting team. Just like everyone else has said, this is a no-brainer.

Haha, Anaheim is smoking everyone for the best enforcing team, and Detroit is smoking everyone for worst enforcing team. Show's the difference between those two.

I'm trying to picture what a Conference Championship would look like with these two polar opposites.

ANAHEIM DUCKS!!! Whoever puts another team is a homer. Seriously, you can't deny it.

[IhateLindros]

This award should be called the Anaheim Ducks award

[BGDDYKWL]

The roster the Yotes opened the season with was tougher than the Ducks', and would give the current team a run for their money, but unfortunately as the season progressed they suffered a few injuries, and ultimately shipped Laraque out of town. Even still I don't think I ever saw them get pushed around. That being said, I still gotta go with the Ducks here.

[fireworker]

Shouldn't the Buffalo Sabres be included in this one?
