from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
“I’m obviously disappointed about the way things ended in New York and how things have unfolded, but I’m not going to sit here and play the victim card at all,” DeAngelo told The Post in an exclusive interview by phone on Friday that represented his first public remarks since that fateful night.
“Hockey-wise, there are mistakes that I have made. I’ve gotten hot-headed at times. I’m the first one to admit that and I take responsibility for it. I’ve tried to learn and get better and better at it, but there are still times where things have happened and emotionally I’ve gone over the line a little bit, and I accept responsibility for that. The thing with Alex, exactly like he said, emotions got away.
“I wish things had happened differently, but like I said before, I’m not in any way playing the victim card.”
But let’s be serious here. DeAngelo is not out of the NHL because of the tussle with Georgiev. Those things happen in pro sports.
