It’s already been a brutal preseason for the Montreal Canadiens.
I gotta be honest–I don’t have a massive issue with that hit.
Sure, he catches Dach up high.
And in the NHL, you’re going to need to answer the bell for those things.
But Greig didn’t seem too eager to drop the gloves after the hit.
Don’t want to fight?
You probably shouldn’t go around looking to catch guys with their head turned away.
So the first chance he has to take a shot on Tim Stutzle, it’s murderin' time.
Now THAT is a dirty hit.
Just some classic WiFi tomfoolery.
It was only a matter of time.
79 minutes in penalties.
A couple of scraps.
A couple of greasy hits.
A few game misconducts.
….all in a game that means absolutely nothing.
Just preseason goofin'.
Not a playoff series, not even points in the regular season standings.
Just an exhibition game between a couple of division opponents.
Don’t let anybody tell you that the NHL isn’t the greatest league in professional sports.
