TV commentator and NHL legend apologizes for inappropriate comments.

Denis Potvin, NHL legend and Florida Panthers' TV commentator, apologized today for his comments on Daniel Sedin at the end of Tuesday's game.

Potion called Daniel Sedin a low-life and said that the brothers usually used their fingers to lick peanut butter off each other's fingers...

The New York Islanders star defender said things along those lines:

“It ended badly because of Sedin’s actions. In any decade, if a player turns around and starts goading the other bench after the winning goal … could you imagine that in Philly? Or Boston?”

“Usually when you beat a team that’s on a streak, you talk about incredible respect for what they were able to accomplish. Instead of that, you had a team score a winning goal and then goad the opposing bench.”

Here's the release from Potvin:

"My choice of words at the conclusion of the Vancouver game on Monday should have been more appropriate. In the passion of the moment and under the circumstances of how the game ended, they came out wrong. For that I'm going to extend my sincere apologies to Daniel Sedin, Trevor Linden and the Canucks organization."

We understand that Potvin got caught in the heat of the moment, but this peanut butter line is frankly the worst sentence ever pronounce about the Sedin brothers... Take a deep breath Denis!
