I dunno. I think if you look at the history of cheap shots and dirty plays you would find that the non-skilled goon players were responsible for most of them.
From Chris Simon's and McSorely's stick swinging, to Domi's sucker punch on Niedermayer, goons committed their fair share of the worst plays in recent history.
