During the first intermission of the game between the Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes, analysts on the TNT network discussed the importance of depth in the playoffs.
Ex-strongman Paul Bissonnette took the opportunity to shoot an arrow in the direction of the Edmonton Oilers ーthe team with which “the Marvel” built his fameー, arguing that they had relied too much on their big guns during the playoffs.
“I don’t mean to offend you, Wayne, but when your best players are on the ice for 25 to 30 minutes and your fourth-line guys are only playing seven or eight minutes, it can hurt you,” he said. Ontario.
Gretzky was quick to take charge of Bissonnette’s childhood team.
“Why are you targeting the Oilers? There are guys in Toronto that you might see on milk cartons.”
Remember that in another era, milk cartons were also used as wanted notices.
It’s all the more funny knowing that the Queen City team has had the Dairy Farmers of Ontario logo on its jersey since the beginning of the campaign.
