The Montreal Canadiens were all out of sorts during Game 5, which apparently was part of the Boston Bruins' plan. But if intimidating the Habs was the Bruins' top priority, winger Shawn Thornton probably took it a little too far.
P.K. Subban criticizes Shawn Thornton for spraying water on him during play
Watergate scandal, anyone?
Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports
In the dying minutes of the Bruins' 4-2 win, P.K. Subban angrily drifted over to the Bruins' bench and shouted at Thornton. At first, it wasn't clear what exactly happened between the two.
But once you rewind the tape back a minute or two, you see Thornton spraying his water bottle at Subban when the Habs’ defenseman skates by.
(H/T @MyRegularFace for the find)
Thornton wasn’t penalized during the game, but Subban was still incensed when talking to reporters afterwards.
PK Subban on the water incident:"It happen twice. If it was me who did that it would have been in the news for the next 3 days." #tvasports
