ideo: Did Ducks Forward Trevor Zegras Mock Another Players Dead Dad Last Weekend
If Trevor Zegras said, “Your Dad’s up there watching, to Troy Stecher, who publicly spoke about losing his father two years ago, Trevor Zegras is garbage.
New reports from a Coyotes reporter said Zegras DID NOT mock Troy Stecher’s dead father during a scrum.
Troy Stecher denied a reporter’s request to talk about it, so there’s some protective obfuscation here.
Whatever Trevor Zegras said to Troy Stecher, it was clearly extremely personal. Hopefully the league is looking into this… pic.twitter.com/eO1zU1lmDc

What did Zegras say to Troy Stecher? It looks like he said, “Your (dead) Dad is up there, watching.”
Troy’s father passed away two years ago, and he spoke about it publicly as part of his healing process. It was very moving stuff.
We’ll find out if that’s INDEED what Zegras said to Stetcher when the NHL investigates (which they are doing). And if Zegras DID mock the death of Troy Stectchers father, Zegras needs the rest of the year off to strip him of his rich kid can-d0-no-wrong sense of entitlement. And the next time Troy Stetcher sees Zegras, his Ducks teammates should part like the red sea and turn their back on Zegras as he gets filled in by Stetcher.
It almost doesn’t matter what he said or that the NHL dealt with Zegras officially because here’s how NHL justice works:
Coyotes players will staple a few thousand USD to “the board” in their dressing room the next time they play the Ducks. The first Coyotes player to caution (destroy) Trevor Zegras with some humility gets the “Money on The Board.”
You and I don’t need to virtue signal over Zegras being a human shit who mocks his colleague’s dead fathers – the players have been policing this shit for 100 years and will for 100 more. Money on the Board is more than currency, it’s the NHL’s version of Kangaroo Court, but it works.
If he mocked Troy’s father, Zegras might be suspended and forced to take sensitivity training, but that won’t fix his wagon. A good old-fashioned ass-whooping is coming to Anaheim’s budding superstar, and it’ll mean more to his maturity than an NHL-mandated timeout with a counselor.
If he didn’t say it, it doesn’t matter, either. He said enough, and Zegras is about to learn a valuable lesson.
