Canadiens' Weise accuses Bruins' Lucic of being 'classless' in handshake line
Even after the final buzzer had sounded and a hard-fought series between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens had been decided - with the Canadian club coming out on top - the war of words continued and accusations of disrespect continued to fly.
Dale Weise accuses Lucic of being classless and disrespectful with his comments in the handshake. Won't say what was said.

Dreger added that Lucic reportedly threatened Weise in the handshake line and said "something similarly threatening to (Alexei) Emelin."
Lucic apparently caught wind of the leak, and responded accordingly.
Milan Lucic called Dale Weise a "baby" for revealing what he said in the handshake line. "It was said on the ice so it will stay on the ice"

There is, of course, no love lost between these bitter rivals, and Lucic and Weise were engaged in a back-and-forth throughout the series in regards muscle flexing.
For now, Lucic will be left to stew and Weise will get ready for the Eastern Conference finals.
