If you’re wondering why A.J. Greer agreed to let Wayne Simmonds beat the shit out of him, well, he had a simple reason. Why not?
Greer and Simmonds dropped the gloves Wednesday night in the Bruins’ 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena – right after Greer had scored his fifth goal of the season. They immediately squared off after the faceoff at center ice. Safe to say Simmonds landed a pretty good first punch.
