    [DEBATE] Which HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTER in their prime are you taking?

    in General Hockey Discussion

    Probert

    Semenko

    Laraque

    Odjick

    Honourable mention* Rypien

     

    My thoughts on why*

     

    Probert played in one of the wildest hockey days and the end of the enforcer.  He laid out anyone and everyone with impunity including team mates during practices and in the off season.  The man had demons inside of him and he fought them by not punching players, but punching THROUGH players.  Polls have been taken numerous times and it was ALWAYS Probert who came out on top as the scariest fighter amongst his peers.

     

    Dave Cementhead Semenko was the protector of the dynasty.  He had one job and that was protect the Wayne.  It didn't matter if he was on Gretzkey's line or not, if Wayne got touched you'd face cementhead and nobody could take a punch like him.  His memoirs are interesting as they indicated that his paycheque depended on his protecting Gretzky.  If I missed an assignment and Wayne or Kurri went down i'd be benched and if i'm benched i'm not getting paid and if i'm not getting paid my kids aren't eating.  Literally protecting Wayne and Jarri and putting the fear of god in to opposing players meant i'd feed my family.  Dave Semenko was one of the few heavies with a genuine mission and he could skate

     

    Laraque was just a beast.  We all saw George and we all hated the idea of playing against him because so few teams had an answer to him.  Konopka, Boogardt maybe but if he was on the ice he was given room to play.  Even Chara gave that guy some respect and that's saying something.

     

    Odjick was just crazy.  He'd fight anyone and like Semenko his assignment was Bure and Almo.  He's always gonna be our boy.

     

    Rypien was pound for pound the best fighter I have ever seen on skates.  He fought EVERYONE willing and gave everything he got.  No heavy on skates ever stood up to a boxer that could skate without leaving with respect and Ripper was both

     

     

     

    I contend again*  If AV had played Rypien in games 5-7 against Boston the Canucks would have hoisted the cup.

    I've never seen player's turtle like they did when fighting Rypien. Full grown NHL'ers running away from the guy was normal, unreal fighter

    depends on what they do. 

     

    A little while back, there was some unvaccinated idiot with measles, who knew their condition, walking through a paediatric ward in the valley. People like that should be locked up. 

     

    If we had some similar unvaccinated person with covid going into long term care homes, yes that person should be locked up. 

    Was that person locked up?

     

    I know of a dentist who was HIV positive who knowingly infected patients, he got jail time.

    thats obscene. You do not have the right to make someone else sick. 

     

    You want the law to work one way. Only the choice of the unvaccinated seems to carry weight in your argument. Thankfully it doesn't work that way. Yes, you have a choice to not the shot. But others have the right to not be subjected to your health decision. You can't have it both ways. 

    Wait, are you suggesting some form of criminal punishment for those who do not get vaccinated?

    Well Alfred Hitchcock became boring, so now I am watching Legendary Cities, the London one. It's crazy - Sally passed away in December at 14.5 years (cat), I went to London for a week in January, and February, I brought George home (cat), and then the pandemic hit - March.  I'm still waiting on my munchie meal, which I hope to be delicious.  I am out of champagne. So it's time for water, and the munchie meal comes with Hi C to drink. 

    Does this mean you're eating cat food nowadays?

     

    Is it as yummy as it looks in the adverts? Cuz Fancy Feast looks scrumptious, but I don't think I'm ready to take the plunge just yet
