Ex-Flyers causes stir at his new teams' practice
Tempers Flare at Hurricanes Practice
The Carolina Hurricanes' recent acquisitions, Brendan Lemieux and Michael Bunting, are known for their polarizing presence in the NHL. In a recent practice, tensions between the two boiled over after an accidental collision.
During practice, Bunting inadvertently struck Lemieux with a powerful shot, sparking a heated exchange. A Hurricanes reporter revealed it was evident that the two players, known for their agitating styles, had to be separated.
FWIW, the incident started when Bunting hit Lemieux with a one-timer at the end of practice, seemed inadvertent if reckless. Two guys who thrive on agitating getting into midseason form — wouldn't read too much into it.
Despite the incident, Lemieux later engaged in some playful antics with Brent Burns, suggesting that such clashes are part of the competitive hockey environment. As the Hurricanes gear up for the season, emotions are running high.
