It's called being humble. The young guy instigated it and didn't seem to want to back down. Ovi finally accepted the challenge and knocked him out. After that, you don't want to come off as pompous. Ovi had the right tone.

I get the coach wanting to back up his player; he's not gonna stand there and tell the media the kid deserved it. However, they keep making him sound like he's brand new to the game of hockey. The kid is 19 with a body maturity of a 25 year old playing in the NHL. He is big enough and old enough to fight. This was straight over confidence going up against experience.

@KevinCantWait08 4 жыл бұрын

Brind’Amour’s take on the fight was absolutely ridiculous. He obviously hadn’t watched the replay, nor did he acknowledge what happened in game 1 between them, so he’s just going based on his own internalized bias, which basically means defending your player at all costs. It’s fine to defend your player, but don’t misrepresent what happened, just because you feel bad for him. It’s hockey, fights happen, and if you get knocked out like that, you shouldn’t put yourself in that position next time.

Also, Rod, the kid hasn't been in a fight for 90 some games? Ovey's been in the league for how many years, and been in how many fights? Hey, the kid obviously w I'manted to throw down (again, clear on video), maybe thinking he can intimidate the "old man*, and Ovey showed him what was up. And as for the kid's age, Rod? If he's old enough to play with men, then he"s a man, and this is the Playoffs. So they've been slashing.and cross checking each other for a game and a half. Oh, well! Playoff Hockey, kid!
