Former Bruin Laughs At Teammate After Being Seriously Injured
Tyler Bertuzzi faced the Boston Bruins for the first time since joining the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, and his response to a particular incident on the ice has drawn scrutiny.
During the game, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman
Timothy Liljegren found himself in an unfortunate situation, as he was on the receiving end of a troubling slew foot from
Brad Marchand.
The hit led to Liljegren leaving the game with an injury, sparking questions about why it wasn't penalized.
Liljegren's departure naturally stirred strong emotions among his Maple Leafs teammates, who were not only upset about the lack of a penalty but also concerned for their injured comrade. However, observant fans noticed a different reaction from former Bruin Tyler Bertuzzi.
Tyler Bertuzzi was brought to the Maple Leafs to add a physical presence with scoring abilities, and he was expected to help enforce rules on the ice. However, his reaction to Timothy Liljegren's injury has left some fans disappointed.
After Liljegren's injury, Brad Marchand seemed poised to engage with Maple Leafs players near their bench. Most Maple Leafs players understandably expressed their discontent, except for Bertuzzi, who appeared to be watching Marchand and even laughing.
Bertuzzi's lack of a more assertive response in support of Liljegren has raised concerns among fans, as he was expected to stand up for his teammates, much like
Ryan Reaves. Bertuzzi may face questions about his reaction in the coming days.
