After Lars Eller was left unconscious, bloodied and stretchered off the ice in Game 1 between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, coach Paul MacLean offered his take on whether defenseman Eric Gryba was at fault: "(If I'm Eller), I'm really mad at player 61, whoever he is, because he passed me the puck in the middle of the rink when I wasn't looking," said MacLean. "That's always been a dangerous place as far as I know. Ever since I've been playing this game, that's a dangerous place to be — bad things happen. "I think it's a hockey play that ended up going badly for Lars Eller." "Player 61" in this case would be defenseman Rafael Diaz, whose "suicide pass" set up Eller to get hit. Brandon Prust of the Montreal Canadiens respectfully disagrees with that assessment, as he told the media on Friday: "It's a dirty hit. I've watched it over and over. He has the choice to hit him on his front shoulder but he chooses to go to his far shoulder. If you're going to go across the body like that, because you don't want that full contact, then you're going to hit him right in the face. "Look at all the blood all over the ice. It's a dirty hit. He's got a broken face, so, it's a dirty hit." Q. What did you think about what Paul MacLean said about not recognizing the name of Diaz, and having trouble searching for Eller's name, that he wasn't even familiar with the players. Any thought on that? "Yeah, he already showed enough disrespect over there. So we don't really care about what that bug-eyed fat walrus has to say." Story via: PuckDaddy
