Brad Marchand gets dropped in a fight by player twice his size

Brad Marchand proved the truth behind the saying, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."

Standing at just 5'9", Marchand may not be the tallest player in the NHL, but he's known for his tenacity and skill as both a scorer and a pest on the ice. In a showdown against Florida Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola, who towers at 6'4", Marchand had his work cut out for him.

During the game between the top two teams in the Atlantic Division, Marchand found himself in a physical altercation with Mikkola after enduring multiple cross-checks from the larger defenseman. Despite the noticeable height difference, Marchand didn't back down and engaged in a spirited bout with Mikkola.

Marchand's determination and willingness to stand up for himself show that size isn't everything in hockey!
