Panthers analyst Denis Potvin apologizes for comments about Daniel Sedin
Florida Panthers television analyst and color commentator Denis Potvin apologized Wednesday for comments directed towards Vancouver Canucks star Daniel Sedin at the conclusion of Monday's game.
"My choice of words at the conclusion of the Vancouver game on Monday should have been more appropriate," Potvin said in a statement. "In the passion of the moment and under the circumstances of how the game ended, they came out wrong. For that I'm going to extend my sincere apologies to Daniel Sedin, Trevor Linden and the Canucks organization."
The comments were made following Sedin's game-winning overtime goal, when a fiery scrum broke out between the benches.

Potvin called Sedin "a lowlife," before adding: "Normally they only use those fingers to lick the peanut butter off of their bread. What are they doing pointing fingers?"
I'm just going to ask it: What does Denis Potvin's peanut butter comment to the Sedin's even mean?

The Sedins said they are ready to move on from the incident as they prepare to open a six-game road trip against the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
