2006-07: Worst Enforcing Team

[tonio]

Being a Hawks fan, the only pleasure i've had this year comes from voting for Detroit on this one.

[Boogeybacker]

I Would Have To Say Minnesota Wild. They Have Boogey And Thats It! They Get Some More Enforcing Help And They Might Make A Run For The Cup! Wild Win In '08

I think Edmonton could easily be amoung the nominees - we got our asses ran all year - and had multiple contact related injuries - losing Laraque was a big mistake - who would have guessed?!

[Mr. Pink]

Has anyone pointed out the fact that 3 out of the 5 here are former Original Six teams? Pathetic.

[resurfaced]

As a life long Wings fan it hurts me to say the wings take this one again, but they have been surprisingly physical this playoffs. who knew lebda and zetterberg had that in them?

also does anyone here think todd bertuzzi is the most dissapointing fighter ever?

if he resigns in detroit his underacheiving presence on this team ensures they win this award again next year too. he rarely drops the gloves and when he does he just goes greco roman on a guy and throw them on the ice. i am not saying that cause of the steve moore cheapshot, he did his time, i am over it.

You can't classify Bertuzzi as a fighter. That's like asking, "Does anyone here think Link Gaetz is the most disappointing goal scorer ever?"

Bertuzzi is like John LeClair. They just didn't have it in them to brawl. Genetics, I suppose.

we nead a tuff guy

The Wings take the trophy. However, they did add some grit at the deadline. Big Bert will have to lead by example next year in order for Detroit to get out of this award again. Maybe something will happen in the playoffs like a Bertuzzi/Parros fight.

I bet if you put Claude Lemieux and Patrick Roy back on the Avs and made them an elite team again, the Red Wings and Avalanche would both disappear from the list. Each team would have a real enforcer back on the team, plus the goalies would rack up enough minutes to make any enforcer look like a Lady Byng finalist.

Sadly my Redwings will have a landslide victory in this category.

Detriot gets my vote...but Carolina wasn't too far behind them. It seemed the only players who could fight were Adams and Commodore, but they weren't even that good at it. They need to get some tougher guys. In their farm league affiliates they have some tough guys who could easily enforce them in the NHL. They are just a phone call away. I don't know why they just don't call them up?????

[coalter17]

The Panthers were also pretty weak this year. They really didn't have any tough customers either.

[jeancharest]

according to me montreal is the worst enforcing team they get hammered out there and they wonder why

[Killah_punk]

Detroit does need an enforcer if not for entertainment value so they wont be so boring to watch.

[metaone525]

Detroit Redwings--Three peat tho hardly worth braggin about
Have they even decided to improve this huge weakness???
