Islanders vs. Blue Jackets: Matt Calvert shouldn't fight bigger men

The biggest non-fight of the year featured two very differently sized men.

Someone needs to tell Matt Calvert to pick on someone his own size, for his own safety.

The diminutive Blue Jackets forward took issue with New York Islanders bruiser Matt Carkner on Sunday, and emotions quickly boiled over between the two.

The odds were not in Calvert's favor. Carkner has 122 penalty minutes and is basically a foot taller than Calvert. If the two were best friends, Calvert would probably make a joke like, "How's the weather up there?" because Carkner is so much taller, and they would laugh and laugh.

But they are not best friends, and nobody was laughing when Calvert endangered his life by trying to fight Carkner.

Yeah, not much of a fight at all. Worst fight of the year? Look how quickly the referees try to jump in and desperately save Calvert from certain doom.

You're a brave man, Matt Calvert. Little guy, big heart.
