MUST-SEE: Nick Cousins Gets Punched In Face Repeatedly By Capitals Forward
Nick Cousins is perhaps one of the most infamous players in the NHL. The Panthers forward famously came in 1st in a players poll for who has the most punchable face. Tonight one Capitals forward proved that to be the case.
Mantha Crushes Cousins In Fight After Whistle
Cousins plays with an edge that regularly ticks other players off. Clearly, he got under Anthony Mantha's skin at some point tonight as the Capitals forward decided to drop the gloves with him. In the past, Cousins has regularly shied away from actually fighting, but for whatever reason tonight proved to be an exception. Perhaps Cousins will think twice before repeating tonight's affairs though as he was thoroughly beaten in the tussle.
Some pointed out the weight and height differences between the players online after the fight. However, many hockey fans will not care about this as they will just be glad Cousins got what was coming to him.
Worth noting that Mantha is 6 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier than Cousins.
Gotta respect No. 21 for fighting up a few weight classes.

The Panthers forward has developed a reputation for being a dirty player over the years. This was accelerated earlier this year when he was involved in an incident with Coyotes forward Jason Zucker. Regardless, Cousins would get the last laugh as the Panther went on to win the game 3-2 in overtime.
