SAN JOSE - Micheal Haley had barely been back on the Sharks roster for 24 hours when he had to stick up for one of his teammates.
San Jose got involved in a full line brawl with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 21, a day after Team Teal claimed the gritty fourth-liner off waivers from the Florida Panthers. As Pens captain Sidney Crosby began to tussle with Sharks defenseman Brenden Dillon, Haley immediately skated to the scrum and took over fighting Crosby, eventually wrestling him down onto the ice.
That was just one example of Haley's dedication to sticking up for his teammates.
