Scrap nearly breaks out in handshake line after Canada's Semi-Final victory
New York Rangers prospect Brennan Othmann has been one of the most physical players during this year's World Juniors. There hasn't been a single game during this tournament where Othmann hasn't been physically engaged. Last night's semi-final game was no different.
After another game where Othmann imposed his physical will on the Czechia players, things got heated in the handshake line. Othmann and a member of the Czech team became engaged during the final handshake. While shaking hands Othmann made a comment to a defender who had slashed him during a previous game.
The defender was definitely not a fan of what Othmann had to say and gave him a shove. As the two began to engage the officials immediately intervened to separate the two players.
After the game Othmann gave an interview and explained what he told the Czech player.
If you can't play with the big boys then don't come out.
While the handshake line is usually a time to show proper sportsmanship sometimes the intensity gets the better of the players.
