Kasper was an amazing hitter for his size. Like the Pecca of defense. Both guys not very big, but could light you up.

Derian Hatcher, not Kevin.

early in his career w the Isles Kasper gave Mess fits, I mean he really got Mark off his game like no other.

Well Darian did break Roenick's jaw.

How many times did Roenick get his jaw broken? I know he also broke it from a puck in a Rangers game, and the fans gave him a standing ovation.

Worst 90's agitators? Claude Lemieux has to be 1st

You can't acquire Shattenkirk with dead weight
- TPC

LOL

I am assuming that poster felt Nash was dead weight? Not for nothing, we all know Nash's past in playoffs, but far from dead weight. He will get his 30-35 goals. NYR needs Nash this year. If he does leave, who is gonna replace his goals and defensive play? seriously. Dont realize his importance till he's gone. Hopefully, Girardi and Staal have bounce back years.

His hit was the one that started the End of Lindros.

This could be worst list of I've seen, Phaneuf as the number 2 hitter of all time?

Claude & Tikkanen were both late 80s & 90s. Barnaby I hated w Buffalo & Pittsburgh. There was another guy on Buffalo who was brutal, always seemed to get away w dirty shat, Vachlav Varada, remember him?

I still have no idea how Tikkanen was an agitator when no one had a (frank)ing clue what he was saying.

Tikkanese...it wasn't just that, the stickwork & slashes were hard to shake off too.

Forgot about Chelios for defensive hitters.

He was more of a straight forward tough guy, than agitator.

Lindros could never keep his head up, that was his downfall, his brother too.

Pronger was a perfect agitator. Played with an edge, pissed people off and absolutely terrified people as well as being a top 5 or so defenseman from his era.

I would have loved him on the Devils.

True, used to love watching those Wingst/Hawks games in the 80s 90s

Definitely, had no problem with the Kasparitis hit. Very similar to the one Stevens had on Francis. Guy charging down the boards with his head down.

Imagine Stevens & Pronger as a pairing.

Detroit had Probert & Kocur on the same line for years, 2 of the all time tough guys.

Lots of great defensemen from those years. Leetch, Niedermayer, Chelios, early Lidstrom years.
