Alex DeBrincat Gets Disrespected in Return to His Former Team

Was it aimed at DeBrincat himself for his refusal to sign an extension with the Senators, or was it a reflection of discontent with the General Manager's handling of the situation? The GM initially traded for DeBrincat without securing a contract extension and then had to trade him to the Detroit Red Wings.

While the true target of the boos remains uncertain, it's clear that this trade saga has left a bitter taste in the mouths of Senators fans. DeBrincat's day back at the Canadian Tire Center took a physical toll as well, with a thunderous hit from Ottawa Senators' Ridley Greig that sent him to the ice.

Somehow, that clean hit laid on DeBrincat resulted in a roughing penalty, and fans are not too pleased.
