Prust told reporters it was the “best money I’ve ever spent”.

Not long after he was fined ,000 for his Saturday-night-spear-to-the-groin of Boston’s Brad Marchand, Canucks forward Brandon Prust had an, ahem, colorful take on his punishment.

The Canucks failed to score on three power-play opportunities.

Above is the video of the play, which occurred in the final two minutes of the Bruins’ 4-0 win over the Canucks.

ABOUT THE BRUINS (13-8-3): Brad Marchand netted a pair of goals Friday and boasts seven in the last eight games for the Bruins while hulking defenseman Zdeno Chara has scored in each of the past two contests.

At least we’ve still got Prust’s candour. It’s one of those plays that makes you cringe every time you see them. “He sold it pretty good”. “I wasn’t looking at him”.

“Just frustrations, happens out there. I saw him laughing on the bench after, so I don’t think he’s too hurt”.

“I was just coming back because the puck was coming back up the boards”. “On my swing by, I got my stick active”.

The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund. He wound up playing 19 minutes, 20 seconds on the night. “Sometimes you want to do it back”. The NHL’s Department of Player Safety fined Prust $5,000 for the spear.

ABOUT THE CANUCKS (9-10-8): Daniel Sedin (18 points in the last 12 games) and brother Henrik (13, nine) are producing for Vancouver, but the Canucks are searching for secondary scoring.

“When you’re playing without confidence and you’re not skating, that’s a real bad combination”, Desjardins said.

“We were in the system the whole game and it showed”, Rask said. The Canucks will continue their homestand on Monday against the Buffalo Sabres. Seidenberg was one of the D-men on the ice in the mad scramble at the end of the third period that blew the third period lead to Calgary with 1.2 seconds left, and Miller was dropped to the bottom pairing in that game as well.

Prust has no goals and five assists through 17 games this season, his first in the Vancouver organization.
