Bad Ass Enforcer Nicknames

New York Rangers tough guy Derek Boogaard was found dead in his apartment over the weekend. In addition to being a really good fighter, he had a pretty cool if obvious nickname: The Boogey Man. In honor of him, here's the Top 5 nicknames for NHL fighters. Talent and nickname are taken into consideration. So sorry Marty McSorely and Tie Domi, you're not on this list. Neither are you Craig "Chief" Berube. And while Peter Worrell once told the police he was Andreas Lilja, that doesn't qualify as a nickname. (Click on their names to see why that ruse didn't work with the cops.)

George Parros' mustache is just too cool to not put on here.

About Us

We're Dave, Tim and (formerly) Wes. We pass the time making Top 5 Lists, and we're passing them on to you so you can vicariously waste your time.

If it's just one list, it's a group effort. Or Dave going rogue.

The rules:

-No ties for 5th. There can only be 5. Ties for 1st-4th are okay as long as there's only 5 total.

-Franchises and musical suites count as one item.

-It's not a list of the best, it's a list of your favorite. Which is really the same thing when you think about it, nobody says "this is the best, but not my favorite."
