Torey Krug TOSSED from game after throwing TEMPER TANTRUM
On the evening of March 19th, 2023, the St. Louis Blues welcomed the Winnipeg Jets to their home ice at the Enterprise Center for an intense hockey match. In a game that would end in a 3-0 victory for the St. Louis Blues, tensions ran high throughout the course of the match.
Following the final whistle, while some Blues players celebrated their win, Torey Krug, a defenseman for the team, was noticeably absent from the ice. Krug had been ejected from the game during the final minutes of play, leaving his team short-handed.
The reason for Krug's ejection stemmed from a heated moment during the game when he came to the defense of his teammate. Krug had been engaged in a physical altercation with a player from the Winnipeg Jets, resulting in a minor penalty for roughing. However, Krug's frustration boiled over when the referee handed him an additional two-minute penalty, which eventually resulted in his ejection from the game.
