The Pittsburgh Penguins had their morning skate in Washington before the game and things didn't go as planned as they thought it would.
During their skate Desmith made a save on Teddy Blueger and proceeded to say something towards him, which Blueger didn't like. They ended up getting into a shoving match with each other and had to be separated by other players. Desmith said «how the f�- did I run my mouth» to Blueger afterwards.
When Blueger was asked about the altercation he had with Desmith he said «we were just messing around». Clearly they weren't, but to keep things settle as the situation is over that is definitely the proper response.
