Goon-O-Meter Rating: 65%
Inch for inch, no one dishes it out like Domi. Just ask everyone's favourite guy, Ulf Samuelsson, what his fondest memory of a Domi left is. Can you say COMA?

Domi's mom hates when he dukes because she feels bad for the poor sucker who's about to get the shit kicked out of him. Domi is on the downswing of his career — he's getting fewer and fewer stupid penalties and now and then resists the urge to punch someone's lights out for the sake of the team. With this new-found discipline and penchant for actually chipping in offensively from time to time, Domi's goon value has plummeted. He's still a good bet for 250+ minutes a year, but now he usually takes someone off with him. The fact that he loses maybe two fights a season keeps his rating decent.
