Jeff Petry's Bloodshot Eyes Are Exactly What Playoff Hockey In Vegas Should Look Like
Listen. We've all been there before. You're away at a hockey tournament. The parents are out at the hotel lobby bar and all the boys are fucking around in the rooms. The Montreal Canadiens have a real solid mixture of veteran leadership to go along with their young guns. Guys like Caufield, Kotkaniemi and Romanov are all 21 and younger. Brendan Gallagher is 21 at heart. So they all take their pranks a little too far and fart on all the pillows. End result?
GROSS!
In all seriousness, this is from his wife. Which somehow makes this seem even worse than Gally & The Boys playing a little hotel room prank on their teammate.
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not a doctor. Actually never even applied to med school. But I'm going to go ahead and say it--I don't think eyes are supposed to look like that. Especially if it's just "related" to an injury. Kinda seems like that would be some cause for concern at the very least. But Jeff Petry is a hockey player. And some popped blood vessels in the eyes are a helluva long way from the heart. So if you think that having a pair of zombie eyes is going to stop Jeff Petry from getting his Habs back in this series against Vegas, you've got another thing coming, buster.
And the eyes clearly weren't from going on a bender while in Vegas since he was able to chip in an assist on the night. If anyone on the ice last night was playing a little guilty, that might be Ryan Reaves. Buddy looked a little buckled trying to make this hit on Eric Staal.

P.S. #1 -- How pumped do you think Eric Staal is that he was able to get out of that disaster in Buffalo? Going from the worst hockey team ever assembled to now just 7 more wins away from getting his name on the Cup again.
P.S. #2 -- I'm not a doctor, but this guy is. So here's his explanation.
