Jonathan Quick Calls Out Brady Tkachuk Over 'Garbage Comments'

It was quite the scene in Los Angeles over the weekend as Kings forward Brendan Lemieux bit Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk during a fight. Tkachuk was seen freaking out on the ice and ensured everyone in the building knew what happened. After the game he attacked Lemieux in the media and Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick was pretty pissed off with what he read.

First off lets' take a look at what Tkachuk had to say about Lemieux after showing off teeth marks all over his hands:

Lemieux has bounced around a little bit so there's certainly been some character questioning that's taken place. However, Quick was not here for it and clapped back at Tkachuk last night:

I have my own opinion about what happened, or did not happen last night, and what I can tell you is that any comments that were made about Pep were garbage. He’s a valuable player who sticks up for his teammates. We all support him and I’d rather have him on my team over that kid any day of the week

Lemieux was offered an in-person hearing and is likely being suspended for 10 games. 

Let the debate begin. Who would you rather have on your team, Tkachuk or Lemieux? And were not talking Keith and Claude here....
