Flyers winger Bobby Brink began his National Hockey League career as an offense-generating player. He wasn’t one known for getting into the dirty areas or simply outworking the opponent to win the puck. He wasn’t one to take the body and certainly didn’t look too keen to go to battle against a rival player who more than likely was bigger than Brink’s 5’8″, 170-pound frame.
But for Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet, it’s the size of the fight in the dog, not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight. And Brink is showing that in spades.
