The Montreal Canadiens two years ago let go of their last enforcer, Georges Laraque, one of the NHL's top heavyweights who has admitted he hated fighting and wanted no more to do with it.

Canadiens scoring winger Michael Cammalleri says that feeling is not uncommon.

"Almost all the guys I've played with in that heavyweight fighter role usually end up not really loving their identity and struggling with what their role really is and actually despise fighting, at some point in their career," he said.

"Usually they come into the league and they're really willing to do it and they just want to make the league and get a paycheque and they're cool with that role and they kind of like it. And usually fairly quickly they start disliking that role and want to be much more than that and actually don't want to fight."
