NHL: Flashy forward, who was fined for slashing Matt Benning earlier this week, will be a part of Anaheim Ducks-San Jose Sharks rivalry for years to come
SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks fans might have a new favorite Anaheim Ducks player to jeer whenever the two teams get together in the weeks and years to come.
“It’s a sport played in a small area and it’s fast and physical, so people are going to be off and things are going to happen,” Sharks coach David Quinn said Saturday morning when asked if the incident adds fuel to the rivalry, and whether there can be some benefit to that.“I like to play hard and sometimes other players don’t like that,” Benning said. “A lot of us are trying to play hard against skill, and that gets under their skin.
Zegras isn’t a fighter and is less of an instigator, but has a big personality to go with a tremendous skill set. He had 10 points in 11 games before Saturday, including an assist in Anaheim’s 6-5 shootout win over the Sharks on Tuesday. He also had a nifty shootout goal against goalie Kaapo Kahkonen.that he was talking plenty of trash.
Benning and the Sharks didn’t necessarily appreciate Zegras’ constant chatter on Tuesday. But per Zegras’ coach, that’s just part of his personality.
