The defensive specialist of years gone Gainey's, guy carbonneau so evolved to become skilled offensive forces like datsyuk and Toews
In the article stated above Prust describe himself as an enforcer, but yet is not the player that falss within TextCritic definition.
If I was to label a definition to the enforcer (which is pointless as it's an always evolving thing and by doing so I will be guilty of exactly what TextCritic as it is only my perception of what defines the term and has zero fact or absolute rule) is a player that takes it upon himself to defend his teammates on a regular bases upholding the players code. A self police of the players (themselves) without relying on the referees or league to enforce/not- enforce their safety

So what's the argument about again? You wanna keep the term "enforcer" around by painting the definition with the broadest brush available? How is that important?
