	Gordie Howe scored 801 goals and compiled 1,685 penalty minutes.

Clark Gillies
The fourth overall pick in the 1974 draft, Clark Gillies could beat opponents in both the trenches and the front of the net. A power forward before the term became common, Gillies notched six 30-goal seasons with the Islanders. He also recorded 47 career playoff goals, the fourth most in Islanders history, as a part four straight Stanley Cup title teams in the early 1980s.

Stu Grimson
At 6-feet-4 and 240 pounds, Stu Grimson sports an imposing presence worthy of the nickname "The Grim Reaper". With nearly 2,100 penalty minutes, including four seasons with over 200, Grimson has become a tough guy that teams have coveted for their rosters. His current team, Nashville, is his seventh in a career that began in 1988.

Gordie Howe
In a career than spanned from the 1940s to the 1980s, "Mr. Hockey" could dish it out physically as well as score. In addition to scoring 801 career goals, he also showed resiliency -- he returned from injury after a vicious hit in 1950 -- and longevity -- he played every game of the 1979-80 season at age 52 with the Hartford Whalers.

Joe Kocur
Originally drafted by Detroit in 1983, Joe Kocur showed a willingness to get physical early in his career, recording a league-leading 377 penalty minutes in his rookie season. Though not a prodigious scorer, he could find the net when needed. His goal in the 1997 Stanley Cup finals against Philadelphia helped Detroit claim its first crown in 42 years and was one of three championship teams that Kocur played on during his NHL career.

Ted Lindsay
For 17 seasons, "Terrible" Ted Lindsay was a tough-as-nails winger who could beat opponents along the boards and on the scoreboard. He led the league in penalty minutes twice and had 10 seasons of over 100 PIMs. He also won a scoring title in 1949-50, led the league in goals in 1947-48 and topped the assists list twice. He won four Stanley Cups in his 13 seasons with Detroit, before he was sent to Chicago in 1957 after his attempts to unionize the players put dropped out of favor with Red Wings management. After retiring in 1960, Lindsay returned to Detroit for the 1964-65 season before hanging up his skates for good.

Chris Nilan
Selected 231st overall in the 1978 draft, Boston-born Chris Nilan made his reputation as an NHL tough guy with the Montreal Canadiens. One of just six players in league history to record over 3,000 career penalty minutes, Nilan became a key role player on the Montreal teams of the mid-1980s. In 1985-86, Nilan notched 19 goals as the Habs claimed their only Stanley Cup of the decade that year.

Terry O'Reilly
Selected 14th overall in 1971, Terry O'Reilly spent his entire career in the black and gold of the "Big, Bad Bruins." In addition to recording nearly 2,100 penalty minutes, O'Reilly also scored 204 career goals, including four seasons with 20 or more goals. He was a member of two Bruins teams that reached the Cup finals during his 13 full seasons in Boston.

Bob Probert
The active career penalty minute leader (3,182 thru Nov. 7), Bob Probert showed he could do it all in 1987-88 when he scored 29 goals and led the league with 398 penalty minutes. In 1995-96, his first season playing for the Blackhawks, he scored 19 goals and added 21 assists. Now 36, he still remains a presence in the Chicago lineup.

Dave Schultz
Known as "The Hammer", Dave Schultz was one of the leaders of Philadelphia's "Broad Street Bullies". In 1974-75, he recorded a single-season record 472 penalty minutes. But just a season earlier, he tallied 20 goals in helping the Flyers to their first Stanley Cup championship.

Tiger Williams
A 1974 draft pick of Toronto, Dave "Tiger" Williams is best known for his career penalty minute record (3,966) and his exuberant goal celebration. But he was also an offensive contributor, scoring 20 or more goals in a season four times during his 14-year career, which included a trip to the Cup finals with Vancouver in 1982.
