Punk, a noted huge fan of the Chicago Blackhawks, started off by telling the crowd they weren't nearly as loud as the fans at the United Center in his hometown.
"That's all you got?," said Punk. "Man, Chicago is so much louder."
That brought the boos from the fans, as well as some laughs from Punk.
"Somebody call Barry Trotz," continued Punk. "I've figured out why the Islanders have yet to win a game in this building."
It's a good line, although the Islanders aren't winning much anywhere right now. Punk gets a little more credibility for a hockey dig than Lynch as he is actually a hockey fan and has been at the United Center many times in his Chicago jersey. As usual, Punk played the heel role perfectly.
