GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 Only player to hit 300 PIM this season, with a total of 307 PIM. It's his second year in a row winning this category. In fact, the next closest was Chris Neil with 210 minutes. Boy, I remember when there used to be 10 guys or so every season to hit 300. Now, it's a truly rare feat, with the way the league suspends tough guys and the fact that pure enforcers don't play in the game anymore. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see you're in a very reminiscent mood about the 'good-ole days' today. I'll join. I remember when there was more than one Russian on the Wings... =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redwings8831 40 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 If Trevor Gillies ever plays a full NHL season he will destroy 300 PIM. 1 GMRwings1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 If Trevor Gillies ever plays a full NHL season he will destroy 300 PIM. That's the thing; Konopka hits 300 because he doesn't do stupid s*** to get himself suspended. Gillies is much more of the blockhead goon type than Konopka. Konopka played 8-9 minutes at even strength for the Isles, plus playing PK. Gillies played THREE. Gillies would probably clear 300, but he shouldn't play an NHL season because he's not an NHL player. He averaged 3 minutes per night and played half a season (partially of his own doing due to suspension) on a team that was hit hard by injuries at forward, yet was still one of the league's worst. He simply isn't an NHL caliber player. Trevor Gillies is like former Portland Buckaroos defenseman Jack Stewart. Name doesn't guarantee performance. 1 Bar Down reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 Good thing he told the ref to go f*ck himself or he wouldn't have gotten that extra 10 minutes. Imagine being just shy of 300 PIM's. They probably wouldn't allow him entry at the country club otherwise. I'm sure he raised his value to near Boogaard proportions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 Last guy to hit 300 in a season was Dan Carcillo in 2007-2008 with 324. George Parros led the league with 27 fighting majors. Konopka was behind him with 25. Pretty sure Zenon is a free agent this summer. Good face off guy, c'mon Kenny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was upset that he got 20 min worth of misconduct penalties in the Isles last game for chirping, but I'm glad to see someone top 300 min. Konopka has a lot of heart and brings it every night.
