Michael Bunting Has a Heated Interaction With a Teammate During Practice in Carolina
Michael Bunting's New Home in Carolina With the Hurricanes
Michael Bunting entered the free-agent market this summer after the Toronto Maple Leafs opted not to renew his contract. However, Bunting's tenure as an unrestricted free agent turned out to be brief, as he secured a three-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes on July 1st.
As the Hurricanes gear up for the upcoming 2023-24 season, aiming to make a strong bid for the Metropolitan Division title, tensions flared during Monday's practice.
A Pre-Season Battle Between Teammates Bunting and Lemieux in Carolina
According to Cory Lavalette of The Athletic, Bunting found himself in a heated exchange towards the end of practice with teammate Brendan Lemieux, necessitating the intervention of Brent Burns to separate them.
"Bunting and Lemieux having a not-so-pleasant exchange for the second time in camp. Burns intervenes. FWIW, the incident started when Bunting hit Lemieux with a one-timer at the end of practice, seemed inadvertent if reckless. Two guys who thrive on agitating getting into midseason form — wouldn't read too much into it."
Scuffles and disagreements between teammates during practice sessions occur from time to time, but the intensity displayed by these players underscores their dedication to the team's success.
It's worth noting that this isn't the sole instance of such incidents in training camps this year. Over the weekend in Vancouver, emotions ran high between Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua before they, too, were separated.
