On February 20, 2020, the unthinkable happened. Nathan Gerbe, who is listed as 5-foot-4, laid a big hit on a Flyers player.

There was just about a foot difference in height between the two, but it was Gerbe who performed the takedown and got one punch in before the refs could break it up.

It stinks that a Flyer was a part of hockey history in this fashion, but maybe Sanheim is bragging about it to this day.
