In this week’s Toronto Maple Leafs roundtable the question is simple:
Who is your favorite Leafs enforcer of all-time?
Nick DeSouza: Gary Roberts
My favorite enforcer of all time would have to be Gary Roberts. To me, an effective enforcer is not someone who goes on the ice just to start a fight.
Although I’m sure fights do affect a team’s momentum, I would much rather have a player who can change the momentum in other ways, such as a big hit on the forecheck, a strong shift, or of course, creating a scoring chance.
