Bruins fans know their team is tough. But apparently the rest of the NHL feels the same way.

Milan Lucic was voted the league's toughest player by his peers. Next on the list? That would be Zdeno Chara and Shawn Thornton.

That's right, the three toughest players in the NHL play for the hometown club, according to the lastest NHLPA player poll. Then again, B's fans probably saw that coming.

The Instigators decided to weigh in on that revelation on Wednesday night, and they have varying opinions on which of those three players is actually the toughest.
