Video: Lucic and Manson square off in 'marathon' fight.

It's only the preseason, but players are already showing that they won't take any crap from anybody.

During Tuesday night's preseason tilt between the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks, the Ducks' Josh Manson came to teammate Chris Wagner's defense after the Kings' power forward Milan Lucic hit Wagner from behind.

What was cool about this fight was the fact that in the middle of the tussle, the two players separated and regrouped, only to go back in for more fist-flying action.

Manson may only have 28 NHL games under his belt, but he is aware of the camaraderie that comes with playing at the highest level.
