Angry Canadiens player fires slapshot at Bruins bench after taking penalty

Luckily no one was hit.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov is a fairly respected veteran in the NHL, but he let his anger get the better of him on Saturday.

Markov was penalized late in the first period when his stick tripped up Boston Bruins forward Colin Miller. Miller went down fairly easily, so you can understand why Markov was upset. But second after the play was whistled dead, Markov let a slapshot loose towards the Bruins' bench as everyone ducked for cover.

Yeesh. That’s probably not the best response, Markov.
