  1. Looking for Canucks Fans from the 1970s/80s to help me with a few names as I am making a top 10 Canucks enforcers/fighters. The basic requirement would be they were Canucks for at least 100 games (Season+). Only problem is, I don't know any of the older tough guys (I do have Jack McIlhargy) but basing it just off of career PIMs isn't ideal, wanting names for big, mean, and nasty enforcers/fighters.

      I never got a chance to see junior games when Stan Smyl (as a member of that feared New Westminster Bruins team [Ernie Punch McLean days!]) faced off against Curt Fraser (as a member of Victoria Cougar).  I wonder if they ever got into a fight?  Smyl played right wing & Fraser left wing.

       

      Stan Smyl was another middleweight who while wasn't that great a fighter, gave as good as got.  Didn't back down from anyone.  Was like Linden in that he hit everything in sight on the ice (he always 'finished his checks').  A 'clean player' in that he didn't cheapshot anyone.

      @diesel_3  At the time of the trade, Fraser's play had dropped off.  What nobody knew was that he was a diabetic  (wasn't found out until later).  I'm pretty sure it affected his play (going thru blood sugar problems back in the day when a beer & a hot dog was considered a 'balanced meal' lol.

      @NewbieCanuckFanLove it! I think once I do my research I will make a Canucks Enforcer/Fighter thread, I come across names every now and then that I don't recognize, i'll check their stats, see they played in the 70s 80s or even early 90s when I was too young to remember, then wonder what kind of player they were (Fan favourite? Steve Bernier no-show? Sergei Shirokov overhype?).
