In the February 1st game between the University of Michigan and Ohio State, the Boston Bruins 30th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft was given a major and game misconduct for a head-butt. The Big Ten announced an additional one game suspension on Monday.
John Beecher certainly looks to have a future with the Boston Bruins; since signing with the team, he has impressed with his positional awareness and looks to have simply not had the opportunities last year, stuck behind an elite USNTDP group of centers.
Boston Bruins fans will no doubt have two distinct views on this headbutting incident; some will see it as a huge positive, stating that Beecher plays with intensity and aggression and it’s exactly the spark the Bruins need.
