Lightning Enforcers

I'm planning on doing a poll in the near future about Lightning enforcers and then I hit a rough spot -- who has been an enforcer for Tampa Bay sinc etheir inception? I mean, certain names stand up right away (Enrico Ciccone, Rudy Poeschek) while others escape me or make me shake my head at the thought "this guy was supposed to be an enforcer?" (Matthew Barnaby)

So, if you don't mind giving me a response through comments - who are some of the tough guys that come to mind in the history of the Lightning?

Players that were supposed to fill the enforcer role:
Chris Dingman
Andre Roy
Gordie Dwyer
Reid Simpson
Sandy McCarthy
Louis Debrusk
Mick Vukota
Rudy Poeschek
Brantt Myhres
Enrico Ciccone

Players that weren’t necessarily “enforcers”, but fought:
Matt Barnaby
Darcy Tucker
Joe Reekie
Chris Gratton
Rob Dimaio

Then there were guys like Chris LiPuma or Jim Cummins, who had drive -bys with the team, but you have to remember Vinny Lecavalier has more FMs with the Bolts than some of the names above at this point (12).

There are some young guys that were part of the lean years for the Lightning that I can’t forget: Gordie Dwyer and Kyle Feadrich (sp?). Dwyer especially was a favorite of mine…

Basil was ont eh tea but I don’t think he ever ranked as an enforcer or played that role with the Bolts. Can’t remember Nick Vicoda at all.

I think that person was referring to Mick Vukota, who played for the team during the 97-98 team, racking up 116 PIM in 42 games.

p.s. Was Jamie Huscroft much of a fighter? I remember him being on the team but was too young to remember exactly how he played.
