The other night Montreal’s Brandan Prust nailed Rangers’ Derek Stepan with an egregious late hit to the head, which for Boston fans feels all too familiar.
Awful. Stepan got a broken jaw for this and is out for who knows how long. Meanwhile Prust got a mere two games.
Related: Dan Carcillo (who’s a piece of rat crap, too) got 10 games for shoving a ref. So, there’s your NHL.
Anyways, apparently Danny Brierre and Brendan Gallagher went to medical school because they think Stepan’s injury is “fishy.”
“I think it seems a little fishy to me,” Briere said after the team’s practice Saturday afternoon. “It seems like a little bit of a game.”
Briere’s teammate Brendan Gallagher said he wouldn’t be surprised if Stepan plays on Sunday. “He got up and he was yapping and yelling [after the play],” Gallagher said. “So, I’m sure the jaw isn’t hurting too much.”
#Respect
#Class
Dr. Recchi would be proud… or something.
It’s funny watching Habs fans scramble to defend Prust, Briere, and Gallagher after all their self-righteous bullshit talk the past two weeks. They want respect and class, and then they go do this.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
This isn’t even Prust’s first cheapshot offense this series:
