In Game 2 of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning, Habs forward Brandon Prust was given a double minor six minutes into the first period. The penalty was for roughing, and the second penalty for “unsportsmanlike conduct.”
It was unknown until the end of the game and post-game interviews what that unsportsmanlike conduct comprised. When Prust was interviewed, he stated that referee Brad Watson had verbally attacked him. Andi Petrillo of CBC tweeted the following:
Prust is no stranger to outspokenness.
