ok best pugilist is btwn obrien and anybody else but lets talk about legal shoulder checks that jar your senses, rattle your teeth and make you skip a shift. head shots are not for consideration, just who throws his weight around w/out risking a penalty.
i'll start:
shawn nadalen, philadelphia
rob van beek, philadelphia
both can laydown a mean shoulder imho.

Cam Woods, Andy Ogilvie.
While you're at it, ask Andy what he thinks of getting caught by Dan Ladouceur while running up floor.

Can't say I've ever seen McNish lay out a guy with his fists not being involved. How about Regy Thorpe. And although not anymore, Pat Coyle has to be mentioned for what he's done in the past as well.

I'll second Pat Coyle. He's lost half a step from his prime, but he's still a heavy hitter.

While you're at it, ask Andy what he thinks of getting caught by Dan Ladouceur while running up floor.He'd probably tell you it was a nice hit ,but ladouceur(the soft one in french!!) was the one running the rest of the night,(gonna have to crank that tape up again)even being chased right on to the bench by ogie!!

:chair: These three "enforcers" from the Can Am league in the 80's:
> Boss Bucktooth - Syracuse
>Tim "Moose" Hervey - Rochester
> Ken Henhawk - Six Nations
You got hit by one of these guys you went down and STAYED down. Back when cross checking was legal in "box lacrosse".

crosschecking w/ a woodie really meant something too.
