Maroon: We Gotta Win A F*****G Hockey Game

Boston Bruins winger Pat Maroon called out the media on Monday and seemed to be stirring up an ‘Us against the world’ mentality for him and his teammates.

Maroon was being called out on the airwaves and on social media for not fighting Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett in the Bruins’ 3-2 Game 4 loss on Sunday night. It’s not like the 6-foot-3, 234-pound winger and three-time Stanley Cup champion didn’t try to inflict pain on Bennett, fellow Panthers pest Matthew Tkachuk, and the entire Panthers roster for that matter, and Maroon made sure to point that out on Monday.

“I’m sure everyone’s wondering why I haven’t done anything. I’ll sit here and say it’s not like I haven’t tried or that I don’t want to do anything. I love my captain. I love the guys,” Maroon said. “I think, trust me, it’s a tough business, and everyone’s looking at me to do something. And, unfortunately, I try. I am trying, and we can’t really focus on that. It’s over. It’s done with. We gotta focus on winning a hockey game, though.”
