Trevor Zegras was the face of the league a few days ago. Now, he's one of the most hated players on the planet.
With a few words that he'll regret for a lifetime, Zegras put a target on his back.
When he gestured up to the sky and referenced Troy Stecher's deceased father in a scrum, the hockey community rightfully went crazy. Now, one of Zegras' fellow most-hated players, Brad Marchand, has weighed in.
When reporter Craig Morgan indicated that this was simply a miscommunication, and Zegras didn't reference Stecher's father, Marchand responded very clearly:
I can confirm via the Coyotes that Anaheim forward Trevor Zegras did not say anything about Troy Stecher's father during their dust-up last night but, per a team source, he crossed the line with «some very inappropriate comments.»
Stecher has declined comment on the topic.
