No you didn't, you filled your perception of what you think is the widely accepted idea of what a NHL enforcer is and then trying to pass it off as indeed a well know fact..... it's just your perception of what an enforcer is and therefore understandable why you think it's obsolete... Since you are strongly against and biased towards the enforcer role you have created an definition that only reflects a negative outlook of the enforcer
I was watched a telecast when Denis Potvin was asked on air if he was an enforcer when he played the game and to my amazement he answered the question yes. He then went on to detail why he was and how he felt the need to protect his teammates. Now I would never call Dennis Potvin and enforcer, maybe one the the all time greats defenders, but not an enforcer... But whom am I to correct him.
You definition of an enforcer is heavily tainted and biased
