NHL Alum Brandon Prust In Hot Water Over Bizarre Comments

Brandon Prust was one of the toughest customers in the NHL during his career and now he's busy tweeting out things that have people scratching their heads. His latest Tweet which set off a fire storm, was regarding the COVID vaccine and the sex trade.

Prust, who played 486 career NHL games, recording 115 points and 1036 penalty minutes, has suggested his comments were taken out of context. You can be the judge of that, take a look:

I’m going to be on the road tomorrow driving. If I see anyone else on the road I will lose it,. Also everyone take their vitamins tomorrow because mine won’t work if you don’t take urs (yours).”

A woman replied sarcastically – “Thanks in advance for driving safe” – and Prust appeared to compare vaccine mandates to forced prostitution in his reply.

“So that means they can force me to do anything they want? I hope they force you into the sex trade so you can finally get laid you sheep,” he wrote. “I paid more taxes for these roads than you could ever dream of money in your account.

I would like to apologize to the lady I replied to. She deleted her tweet so can’t find her. My intention was not to offend anyone, it was a bad joke. I apologize for my bad choice of words. I don’t hope the government forces anyone into the sex trade!

My tweet was blown out of context. Basically saying the government shouldn’t be able to force anyone to do anything. It would be like forcing someone into the sex trade.. as usual ppl are just blowing shit out of context. Anyway have a good day everyone lol
