Minnesota Wild: Five Best Wild Fighters of All Time

In the dead of summer smack dab in the middle of no Minnesota Wild hockey, I thought it might be time for a quick look back. Inspired by watching the hockey cult classic Goon starring Sean William Scott, I started to think back on who the best fighters in the history of the NHL and the Wild. It’s a hard road to be an enforcer and many have chosen it and become gods of the game, in some cases their fights are just as well remembered as the goals from the scorers they protected.

The enforcer may be a dying breed in the NHL, but there’s always a place for someone who stands up for his teammates.
