Fox Sports Panthers analyst Denis Potvin has apologized for calling Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin a “low life” after Monday’s game.
Potvin made the comment because he was angry that Sedin was “goading” the Panthers bench, which was one element of a postgame fracas between the teams. (The Vancouver press later reported that Sedin was merely responding to disparaging trash-talking by the Panthers.)
“My choice of words at the conclusion of the Vancouver game on Monday should have been more appropriate,” Potvin said in a statement. “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.”
