As hockey fans, we’re used to rough stuff. Face-washes, shoves, fights...they’re generally considered a part of the game.
However, even we must acknowledge when someone crosses the line...even if it’s a player from the hometown team.
During Sunday night’s Game 1, Chris Wagner of the Bruins was whistled for a roughing penalty during the second period.
To be frank, “roughing” doesn’t even begin to describe it. What we all had to witness was truly horrifying.
After the whistle had blown, Wagner glided in and put his arm around the head of Tampa Bay’s Tyler Johnson, effectively wrapping him up.
