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.

my favorite Brashear moment, since we're reminiscing and what not.

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.

He thinks because he's a homer everyone else has to be as well.

smashem makes a drunken fool of himself (again), and Bruins fans/alts still try to blame the thread derailing on others.

Donald Brashear top 5.

I literally laughed out loud when I read this post.

I'm curious....since you seem to be on a binge on calling out "homers", where was your outcry when PingPang was being a blatant homer and "derailing threads"?

In fact, I saw you essentially co-signing some of the crap he was posting by "thanking" him on his posts. Is it possible that you stayed tight lipped on calling him out because he was on your side of the argument? Regardless of how ridiculous it was, you signed off on it because it was pro-Flyer and pro-Brashear.

Seems awfully hypocritical, so...excuse me that I can't take you seriously when you cry foul about Bruins homers.

You traded in your right to "pass the buck" when you flat out overlooked and even supported a homer in your own backyard.

You conveniently left out the response which prompted me to "troll" Bruins fans. My original post was just comparing Brashear against LARaque, the other dominant heavyweight of that generation and using a defining moment in LARaques career (letting Lucic off the hook so easily), something Brashear wouldn't have done.

Oh my word, did the butthurt Bruins fans live up to their reputation as the biggest whinebag homers in the site.

If I was comparing LARaques style vs Brashears I would have used Brashears cheap shot on Blair Betts. You think Rangers fans would react like Bruins fans did?


It's early Sunday morning, I'm off to the gym so I don't have time to scour the interwebs for clips, but for the record Lucic and Boll have fought twice, each winning a bout.

And for the record, I don't think of Brashear as a Flyer, I think of him as a Capital, so the Flyers have nothing to do with this.

I'm a Blue Jacket fan.

Riddle me this? How is it that the Bruins, a team with many heavyweights has some how managed to avoid John Scott, while my teams resident lightweight and punching bag had no problem fighting him and actually instigated the fight?

When Greg Campbell fights John Scott, come see me lol.

Stop trying to justify it.

Pretty funny Thorts offered Big John when he was in Chicago, with NO-RESPONSE FACT

“He said that? That’s fine. He can say what he wants,” said Hawks enforcer Scottto the Chicago Tribune. “He’s going after some of our littlest guys on our team to start a fight. He’s trying to challenge [Fernando] Pisani to a fight. What’s that say about him?

“He’s Mr. Tough Guy and he’s trying to challenge Pisani. If I’m in the lineup, he’s more than welcome to come chirp at me. I’ll kick the [bleep] out of him.”

(snip)

The smack-talking defenseman said somewhat confusedly that Thornton was a “stand up guy”, but also got what was coming to him when he suffered an injury that could have given him permanent sight damage had it been a few inches south of his forehead.

“I don’t know if [I would chirp at an injured player], Thornton is a stand-up guy,” said Scott. “I don’t know who said anything, but he was kind of being cheap that game. So whatever. He gets what comes to him.”

Thornton’s response to all this: “No comment.”


REALLY?

LMAO are what tools Bruins fans are...

Well that funny he said that and then he backed down, because Thorts did challenge him right before the drop of the puck. Thorts response was from what happened a year earlier You fukin tool. FACT

Smashem is right, Thornton challenged him and for whatever reason they didn't go.

So is this post going to tie into Brashear ducking fights or not?

P.S. Really? Comparing Jared Boll to Campbell?

Fact is the Bruins have 3 players that can not only take on other team's HW's, but beat them as well.

I highly doubt John Scott is afraid of a guy who got dropped by Daniel Carcillo lol.

I post an actual quote where Scott says "I'll kick his ass". You just keep saying "FACT". The Jedi mind trick doesn't work over the interwebs, no matter how hard you try.

Do you have a clip, a quote, a crayon drawing, proving this?

I've never seen a more crybaby fan base than in Boston.

No dummy, I'm comparing your teams resident punching bag Gregg Campbell, to my teams resident punching bag Derek Dorsett who DID fight John Scott.

Learn to read....

Once again, all this because I brought up the LARaque letting Lucic off the hook incident, not as a slight against Lucic, but to show why Brashear was a more effective tough guy because he wouldn't have let Lucic skate away unscathed. Then the butthurt Bruins fans all show up defending Lucic. I want knocking Lucic at all until you guys started acting like little babies.

What I said originally was 100% on topic. It's you guys who are derailing this thread.

[srehm1]

I don't always agree with some of the Boston homers on this site, but i also saw Thornton appear to challenge SCott in that game. Now I don't know if Thorts challenged him or asked if he was going out to the bar after the game, but the first thought that ran through my mind was that it was a challenge. Especially so after what SCott had said in the papers.

I obviously don't think SCott is afraid of Thornton or vice versa-but Scott did/does seem to have an issue finding other big name or top-10 fighters. I know it was brought up many times by posters here about how his card was weak for a guy his size, stature, and obvious fighting skill. I like SCott and I think he can be a sleeping giant at times out there and may not fit the bill of the quintessential enforcer. However he has proven to some extent that he is a legit super HW.
