In an unexpected twist in the hockey world, ex-Winnipeg Jets draftee Mikhail Berdin became the center of attention this past weekend. Playing for the Kontinental Hockey League's Sochi HC, Berdin was involved in a tense incident after being charged by Kunlun Red Stars' Devin Brosseau in his goal crease.
The situation escalated following Brosseau's forceful play near the goal, visibly infuriating Berdin. Rather than ignoring the provocation, Berdin proactively responded, using the aftermath of the clash to confront Brosseau away from the initial action. Brosseau, seemingly surprised or choosing not to engage, quickly adopted a defensive stance, appearing uninterested in escalating the situation with the angered goalie.
Despite Brosseau's passive response and his adoption of a protective posture on the ice, Berdin delivered two more strikes, showing a fervor that indicated his willingness for further confrontation, only holding back when the referees stepped in. This encounter, highlighted by Berdin's deliberate response, brought an unexpected and intense element to the weekend's hockey events.
