Letang Gets Called Out by Insider
The insider Michael Russo shared a video on X, where he saw the star defenseman provoke a high-stick penalty by taking his opponent's stick with his hand and hitting himself in the face with it.
Letang did same thing on Eriksson Ek penalty last night. He's done this for years and refs keep falling for it. In the #mnwild's last 2 losses, 3-3 ties were snapped after dives from Letang and Kane. No motivation for them to stop when refs keep giving them the benefit of doubt
This example comes from a recent game, but everything points to the fact that Letang's been doing stunts like this for years.
Take a look at the video here:
