Tim Stutzle responds to Brendan Gallagher calling him a diver
Tim Stutzle of the Ottawa Senators drew criticism from the Montreal Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher last week. Gallagher wanted it to be known that he thought Stutzle was becoming known for embellishing injuries. Gallagher felt there were multiple instances when Stutzle would hit the ice to get a call, only to be on the powerplay 10 seconds later.
When I was 10 years old, our coach had a rule: if you lay on the ice and the trainers, or if the coach had to come on the ice to get you, you're too hurt to play minimum three shifts, More than half the games we've played against him, he's laid on the ice and is right back out there the next shift.
Tim Stutzle heard what was said and was asked for his opinion on the topic:
Everyone has their own opinion. They can say what they want. I have my own opinion too. But in the end, I respect him as a player - he's a veteran. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
It's likely this feud isn't over, but to to see Stutzle not deny what Gallagher said is an interesting approach.
