New York Rangers' Brandon Prust Getting Some Recognition
It still amazes me that Brandon Prust turned out to be a bigger contributor to the Rangers over Olli Jokinen, who came over in the same mid-season trade. Even though it was simply a salary dump to get rid of Ales Kotalik, the Rangers have gotten themselves a piece that is expected to contribute to the teamโs future.
NHL&photo=11129638">Fox Sports is recognizing Prust as one of the biggest โTough Guysโ this past season. Although we know he was more than that. Here is what Fox had to say:
"It didnโt matter what sweater Brandon Prust was wearing during the regular season, he always played the game the same wayโhard. The former Calgary winger took part in 25 fights during the yearโ18 for the Flames and seven for the Rangersโgoing 10-7-8 in those clashes."
