SAN JOSE – Ask anyone in the league who’s been around the Sharks’ Brenden Dillon, and they’ll likely tell you that off the ice he’s one of the more gentlemanly players in the game today. That might surprise some outsiders, who have become accustomed to seeing the six-foot-four, 230-pounder drop the gloves and throw haymakers when he deems it necessary to stand up for one of his teammates.
But a video circulating on social media and talked about on The Today Show on Thursday morning, in which Dillon was mic’d up during a fight with Nashville’s Austin Watson, offered a glimpse into the 26-year-old’s personality.
