DeBrusk Shares Funny Response After ''Greasing'' Teammate's Goal

When it looked as though Trent Frederic had scored his first goal in his hometown, it was Jake DeBrusk who ultimately made the final touch but his response afterward stole the show.

Although he's missed action for some time due to a broken fibula, DeBrusk has continued his remarkable season with the Bruins, notching his 20th goal of the season in St. Louis.

Following the game, DeBrusk joined the NHL on TNT panel to discuss his team's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues. Former Bruin, Anson Carter, inquired if DeBrusk felt like the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" for taking Frederic's hometown goal.

''During the intermission the boys were telling me that I'm greasing goals from the hometown guy. You know I wanted 25 [goals], but I would have actually taken the assist on that one. Yeah, I'm a greaseball in front of the net so I owe Freddy a few drinks or something. He had his family and his whole school there, I guess. Yeah, I'm greasy.''

Although DeBrusk felt remorse for taking Frederic's meaningful goal, the St. Louis native himself stressed the significance of playing in front of his family.

''It means a lot to someone like myself, and guys who go back to the old teams and stuff like that. Even family members probably eat that up even moreso it's it goes a long way.''

The most entertaining part might have been when analyst Paul Bissonnette informed DeBrusk that he ruined his Spittin' Chiclets co-host's bet by "greasing" the goal from Frederic. See below:

In just 59 games this season, the 26-year-old has equaled his career-high in goals (25) and already surpassed his previous records in assists (23) and points (48).
