Bissonnette promises to pay MIddleton's fine after he describes teammate with derogatory term (video)

Jacob Middleton is certainly a character, and that's the way he likes it. During an interview with the panel of the NHL on TNT Wednesday night, Middleton was asked about Minnesota Wild GM Bill Geurin's apparent choice to let players be themselves, even if it means they are a little quirky. After he was done, TNT's Paul Bissonette offered to pay his fine.

"Oh, it's unbelievable," said Middleton when asked to describe the characters he plays with. "We got a guy like Reavo (Ryan Reaves) coming in, Johnny Merrill has a mullet, a little moustache and missing teeth, and Hartsy (Ryan Hart) is kind of a piece of shit out there, so everyone can be their own person and it's unbelievable."

Calling his teammates a POS certainly got a laugh from the panel.

"It's a family show, I'll pay your fine!," said Bissonnette after Middleton had finished his answer.
