An old tradition in hockey after a Playoff series, is the hand shake line.
Usually it is pretty calming and a nice respectful thing at the end of a hard fought series.
But, when two guys who have disagreed all series long, meet at center ice for hand shakes it doesn't always go over as smoothly.
Oilers' Leon Draisaitl, did not care one bit about Golden Knights' Alex Pietrangelo. Leon, gave Alex Pietrangelo, a quick hand shake and a long stare down well passing by.
Leon Draisaitl, wanted nothing to do with Alex Pietrangelo as this is obviously due to how heated the two got with one another, as Alex Pietrangelo, earlier in the series gave Leon Draisaitl a two-handed slash right on the wrist.
Alex Pietrangelo, was only given a game suspension for this incident, and Leon Draisaitl now and forever will have a beef with Pietrangelo for that. As it was clearly intent to injure, and it was a very gutless play from the Vegas forward.
