Preseason matches never lack intensity, even when some of the biggest stars are absent. Players are fiercely competing for a spot on an NHL team, determined to showcase their value.
That's what we saw yesterday during an original-six clash between the Rangers and the Bruins.
Late in the third period, Ben Harpur and AJ Greer dropped the gloves.
Greer, standing at 6'3" and weighing 210 lbs, proved no match for Harpur, who stands at 6'6" and weighs 230 lbs, capitalizing on his size advantage in this heavyweight clash.
You can watch the fight here:
While neither player managed to contribute offensively, it's essential to remember that a player's worth isn't solely measured by points. Their physicality and willingness to step up when needed can also catch the eye of teams seeking tough, dependable players.
