Who are the greatest tough guys in the history of the NHL?

Tough guys are a dying breed in the NHL. With the league's crackdown on fighting, there are fewer and fewer players willing to drop the gloves. But there was a time when tough guys were as essential to a team's success as goalies and top-line forwards.

Some of the greatest tough guys in NHL history include:

  • Bob Probert: The "Bruise Brother" was one of the most feared enforcers of his era. He was a 6'3", 250-pound monster who could fight anyone in the league.
  • Dave Semenko: The "Semenko Massacre" was one of the most dominant tough guys in NHL history. He was a 6'4", 220-pound wrecking ball who could clear out an opponent's crease with ease.
  • Marty McSorley: McSorley was a 6'1", 215-pound defenseman who was known for his devastating hip checks and willingness to fight anyone.
  • Tie Domi: Domi was a 6'0", 210-pound forward who was one of the most feared fighters in the NHL. He was also a skilled player who could contribute offensively.
  • Chris Chelios: Chelios was a 6'1", 210-pound defenseman who was known for his toughness and his ability to play a physical game.
