Number four on our list is Jamal Mayers.  Mayers played 915 career NHL game, and 595 of those games were with the St Louis Blues

Back in the 2001 playoffs, the Blues thought it would be a good idea to dye their hair blond.  Since Mayers was bald, he died blond tiger stripes in his eyebrows.

Some feel this bold move against tradition is what jinxed the Blues in the first round of the playoffs, but I digress.

Thank goodness he was a better fighter then he was an eyebrow connoisseur.  Mayers was listed at 6’1″ and 220 lbs, and during his 12 years with the Blues, Mayers had 67 fighting majors.

Mayers played a heavy brand of hockey and was not afraid to get in on the forecheck and punish the other teams’ defensemen with heavy and sometimes crushing hits.

The 2005-2006 season was one of the best for Mayers.  Mainly regulated to third or fourth line duty, Mayers had 15 fighting majors.  The more interesting stat from that year was the 15 goals that Mayers scored.

Mayers is one of the more prolific scorers on this list.  Mayers had two years with double-digit goals scored and a career mark of 90 goals and 219 points to go along with 1200 penalty minutes.

Although he had a knack for finding the back of the net, Mayers is still number four on our list.  During his career, Mayers fought Ian Laperriere five times, the most of any other opponent.

Mayers also fought members of the San Jose Sharks a total of 9 times, the only member on this list that didn’t square up with Blackhawks more than any other team.

The next person on the list racked up over 50 PIM in a game twice during his career.
