Ryan Reaves and Brad Marchand are easily two of the most polarizing figures in hockey. Reaves is known as the trash talker who can back his words up with his fists but has been getting a reputation of being more bark than bite of late. Marchand on the other hand is known as a trash talker who is willing to drop the gloves against anybody in his weight class but will typically shy away from fighting.
It is true that Marchand makes much more than Reaves, roughly $5 million more per year, but both have their role in the NHL.
