It happened during the second period of the Penguins rookie tournament opener against Canadiens last week. Derrick Pouliot, in the rarest of moments, became angry and confronted a player. There were nasty words exchanged and a shove.
The 21-year-old defenseman is perhaps the most low-key of the Penguins, which made the incident, while not terribly violent, noteworthy.
Mike Johnston loved it.
While sitting in the Penguins’ suite during the game, Johnston took note of Pouliot’s behavior. Johnston couldn’t stop grinning as he recalled the incident 24 hours later.
“Someone must have really done something to make Pouliot mad,” Johnston said. “That was great.”
