Who, in your opinion is or was the dirtiest player in the NHL? Looking at ESPN and hockey boards, names that stand out are Ulf "The Career Killer" Samuelsson, Claude "The Girl" Lemeuix, Gordie "Face Wash" Howe, Bobby "Ankle Slash" Clarke, and Dale "I didn't know the play was over" Hunter. Notably absent were people like Bob Probert, who was more of an enforcer or "goon", that a dirty player. Some also mentioned agressive players like Darius "The Giant Killer" Kaspiritus.

Not that he was the dirtiest, but I’m gonna say the former Boston Bruin, Lyndon “LB” Byers, only because I enjoy him on the local morning radio show (WAAF in Boston). Although, he did kick some ass in his day.

I lean towards Claude Lemeuix, because he only does stuff that he thinks he can get away with. People like Darius Kasparitus accept the consequenses of their play, even if it is getting their butt kicked.

I remember the Kings had a guy named Kozak who would really get egged on by the fans to fight someone - and he usually complied...

LOL - there was one player recently who was being harassed by the opposing teams fans when he was in the penalty box - he climed over the box into the stands and went after them! Can't remember who it was.

I lean towards Claude Lemeuix, Agreed. Kinda culminated with Chris Draper..

Link Gaets (sp?) from the Minnestota North Stars. The only person to be thrown out of the NHL for fighting.

The Wings get their revenge for the previous season's dirty hit on Draper. Darren McCarty (25) pummels the coward Claude Lemieux, who turtles on the ice instead of fighting, and will henceforth be known as Claude the Turtle.

I have been a life-long Boston Bruins fan. There have been some pretty dirty players over the years, but I don’t think anyone tops Ulf Samuelsson. His career ending knee-to-knee cheap shot on Cam Neely in 1991 should have resulted in his banishment from the NHL.
I grew up it the era of the Big Bad Bruins and saw lots of tough players - not just Bruins - who could deliver a solid hit. These same players were also capable of putting the puck in the net.
Samuelsson was a goon - a dirty player - nothing more.
