The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers Eastern Conference playoff series has gotten chippy, and now that’s included a … thrown mouthguard?
Yes, that’s right. As Rangers vet Chris Kreider had a little face-to-face with his counterpart Matthew Tkachuk, it looks like he grabbed the mouthguard out of the Panthers star’s mouth and tossed it into the crowd.
LOL! I assume Florida’s equipment manager has spares for each player, but still!
When asked about the incident after the game, Kreider said he didn’t remember that. Seems like something you’d definitely remember, but with the Rangers losing Game 4, maybe he didn’t want to talk about it.
Here’s that moment:
