Brendan Lemieux gives a hilarious excuse about why he bit Brady Tkachuk
Brendan Lemieux is your prototypical «pest» player. Physical, high-energy, and never quiet would all be ways to describe Lemieux's game. His no-holds-barred game can endear himself to fans just as much as it can frustrate them.
Lemieux was on the Dropping Gloves podcast sharing his side of the biting incident, between himself and Brady Tkachuk during a game last season. Lemieux's actions got him a five game suspension.

Lemieux is not the most popular guy around the league and he doesn't seem to care. The LA Kings like what he brings, signing him to an extension earlier in the offseason. Lemieux signed a one-year deal with a $1,350,000 AAV. During the 2021-2022 season the 31st pick from 2014 scored 8 goals, 13 points, 97 penalty minutes in 50 games played.
The LA Kings play the Ottawa Senators on November 27th, get your popcorn ready.
