Sorry, you were saying? When you listen to the entire quote, context changes, doesn’t it?
Sure, it’s gamesmanship but he 100% compliments the little prick.
“Well, I mean, you gotta play through it. You gotta recognize he's a world class player, both in ability and how he plays, in the gamesmanship and everything. It's world class, and he's been in the league long enough, as you can see. He gets calls. It's unbelievable, actually, how it goes. But we gotta play through that, gotta play through that stuff. I don't think there's another player in this series that gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs the way that he does. There's not one other player in the series that gets away with that, but he does. It's an art, and he's elite at it. So we have to manage our way through that, avoid putting ourselves in situations where he can put us in those spots. And as far as his game, I think we've managed that pretty well, for the most part. Obviously, tonight, we make a mistake at a key time that allows him to get the winner.”
