Montreal Canadiens forward Brandon Prust apologized on Tuesday for the comments he made about referee Brad Watson following a Game 2 loss on Sunday.

Prust said he wishes he could take back what he said about the official.

"I was emotional," Prust told the media on Tuesday.

Prust said he figures he will be speaking with the league about his comments.

Prust, 31, said that Watson verbally assailed him following a roughing penalty late in the first period of Tampa Bay's 6-2 win over the Habs in Montreal.

"I thought the original call was kind of soft and I let him know on the way to the box," said Prust.
