Looking For Revenge?
The Canucks’ players and fans were not happy with Chris Tierney‘s check from behind that gave Brock Boeser a concussion. Credit to Tierney, as he answered to questions about the hit, and revealed that he messaged Boeser after the game and apologized for the hit (whoopie), which Tierney called unfortunate.
With Tierney not in the lineup, it was hard for the Canucks to get some revenge. That didn’t stop Zack MacEwen from laying a huge hit on an Ottawa player deep in the Senators’ zone. This caught the attention of Sens’ defenceman Mark Borowiecki, who dropped the gloves with MacEwen.
Some called the Senators cowards for not putting Tierney in the lineup last night. Others were thankful that there would be less of an opportunity for anything stupid to happen, something Canucks fans have seen in the past before.
At the end of the day, these teams won’t face each other again until December 3rd, and lots can happen in that time. It will be curious to see if people forget about the whole thing, and I think that will depend on just how serious Boeser’s injury is.
This is still a hot topic, so I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Do you think MacEwen’s fight will put the whole situation to bed? Personally, I don’t think so, but it was good to see someone on the Canucks play physical last night nonetheless.
