These stars could really fight: Clark Gillies: The enforcer played on the Islanders' top scoring line and had six 30-goal seasons. Vic Hadfield: A tough guy who turned himself into a 50-goal scorer for the Rangers. Gordie Howe: Mr. Hockey was one of the meanest and toughest players ever. Didn't fight much, but the Red Wings icon didn't have to. Eric Lindros: A freight train in his younger days, he liked to fight in close. Mark Messier: As former Lightning star Dave Andreychuk once said of the Oilers and Rangers captain, "He could skate by you, score and come back and beat you up." Bobby Orr: His legacy is built on his great skill, but the extremely strong Bruins defenseman was not afraid to mix it up.
