Torey Krug shows no fear and drops the gloves with a much bigger man.

Torey Krug may not have the physical stature you would come to expect from a Big Bad Bruin but he certainly has the spirit.

On Tuesday night during the opening minutes of the very first period between the Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins Krug was mauled from behind by tough guy Chris Stewart and he was having none of it.

After Stewart grabbed Krug, the camera cut away to focus on the scrum, but moments later Krug and Stewart had dropped the gloves, and despite giving up over 40lbs Krug held his own against the bigger man.

Krug certainly looked fired up after he headed over to the penalty box.
