The Blue Jackets lost 5-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
Columbus Blue Jackets superstar defenseman Zach Werenski appeared on 97.1 The Fan's Hockey & Hounds segment on the Rothman & Ice Show today. As always, he's a great interview and had a lot to say about his team. Check out the full interview below.
One thing in particular that stood out was the question he got about the game last night against the Carolina Hurricanes.
He was asked about Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho's play against him that many in the arena thought deserved a penalty. Just before the play in question, Werenski also took a glove to the face from Aho.
"The glove to the face is one thing. He kind of slew-footed me and kicked the legs out from under me, and I think that's a dirty play. I'm not a fan of that. The ref came up to me after and was like, 'I watched the replay after, yeah, it's a slew foot, I should've called a penalty,' but it's too late at that point. He's (Aho) not a dirty player by any means, but I thought that was a dirty play."
Werenski went on to say that he won't go out of his way to go after Aho on Thursday, but if they need to play physical, they will.
