Ducks' Trevor Zegras Destroys Penalty Box Camera In Seattle, Kraken Broadcasters Let Him Have It

Let's just say that Anaheim Ducks player Trevor Zegras may have a bit of a temper problem. 

The top-10 pick from the 2019 NHL Draft was quite angry after being given a penalty on Friday night. He proceeded to take his hockey stick and beat the heck out of the penalty box camera until it was destroyed.

THE CAMERA HAD NO CHANCE

Zegras was fuming after he received a four-minute double-minor penalty after physically retaliating against the Seattle Kraken's Brandon Tanev, who had hit Zegras to the ice. When Zegras got up, however, he then proceeded to literally cross-check Tanev - quite powerfully I might add, in the back - sending him flying.

The only problem was Zegras fell victim to the oldest rule in the book - it's usually not the first person who gets called for the penalty, but the person that follows up as the refs immediately called him for the retaliatory shot. 

The Kraken broadcasters, needless to say, weren't too pleased with Zegras either.

"He breaks our camera. Yeah, that's not cool," longtime color analyst Eddie Olczyk said. "That's just not a cool move. If you want to take that out on the ice and do it face to face with someone, that's fine. You know what? I'm going to inquire what the league does when the player purposely damages inside the penalty box like that," he continued.

"He's got a lot to learn," the other broadcaster added.

Some on social media railed on Olczyk and the TV broadcast for essentially ratting Zegras out by showing the penalty box freak out replay over and over, with one person even saying he should be on the cover of the next NHL video game!

However, the majority of people called out Zegras for what he was - someone who lost his cool (and may have affected his trade value with only one more year left on his deal.)

Zegras essentially did the hockey version of a little kid punching a pillow when they're upset. The only thing is - this one will cost him some money too.
