Some weekend fodder

by timmorrison23 on Sep 11, 2009 6:59 PM EDT

Just wanted to get some chatter going for the weekend, I am hoping to get to training camp on Sunday, so hopefully there will be a post on that later this weekend. Is anyone else besides myself and S.O.C (my abbreviation for Mr.Chowder) very intrigued by these latest Phil Kessel developments? It certainly looks to me that his days are indeed numbered. Which is heartbreaking to me as he is my favorite current Bruin, I would love to see him comeback. Since I got ~~5 reply posts~~ such a thunderous response to my "Top 5 goalies" post, I decided to make it a weekly thing. This weeks category:

Top 5 Bruin Tough Guys Not Named Neely,Lucic, or O'Reilly

1) John "The Wire" Wensink -I could watch his fight videos at Half-Time Pizza all day

2) PJ Stock -Pound for pound (no pun intended) was one of the toughest fighters I have ever seen

3) Stan Jonathan -Even on the ground he was a true tough guy.

4) Willi Plett -Nobody ever remembers his Bruin days, a true dark horse in this topic.

5) Shawn Thornton -I really enjoy watching him play night in and night out, hits like a truck and punches just as hard.

Lets hear yours................

Stan Jonathan. He played for the Bruins from ‘76 to ’82. This guy could fight even though he was only 5’8" and only weighed 175 lbs …. one of the toughest players pound for pound, ever.

OK. So you want somebody other than those listed players …. Wayne Cashman. He was known as one of the toughest fighters during the ’70s, due to his left hook that caught alot of players by surprise.

One sign that showed up on TV from a game at the FleetCenter has long stuck in my mind: Give blood – fight Baumgartner.

I’m going with Jay Miller…he’d beat you with either the left or right – Miller vs. Kordic battles were epic!

LET'S GO B's!!!

Ken Belanger is a great pull!!! I think Bergeron is well on his way to making this list too! :)

Can’t argue with your top five, but I’ll toss a few more names at you: Nuckles Nilan, Lyndon Byers, and – don’t laugh – Mike Milbury. Dude ripped a shoe off a fan and beat him with it! And, of course, Bobby Orr.

Eddie Shore, hands down. He should top this list.

Shore!

The fact that no one has even mentioned Eddie Shore is a crime.

I always see Shore shirts on people who couldn’t possibly have been alive to see him play. And I like it.

Ha yeah. I definitely wasn’t alive to see him play! But I have taken the time to go back and watch what footage of him is available, read the stories, etc. Hell of a player. Makes me wish I had been alive to see him play!
