GREENBURGH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Dan Boyle had a rough Tuesday morning.
The veteran defenseman, who has hinted repeatedly that he wouldretire
once the Rangers’ season ended, took umbrage with some reporters during break-up day at the team’s practice facility in Westchester County, refusing to begin his interview unless specific scribes removed themselves from his presence.
Boyle singled out the New York Post’s Larry Brooks and Brett Cyrgalis. Brooks was present, while Cyrgalis was not. Boyle is heard on audio saying he had no problem with the rest of the reporters in the locker room, but would not begin discussing the disappointing end to the Rangers’ season unless Brooks left the vicinity.
The following is the back and forth between Boyle and Brooks, as transcribed by Yahoo! Sports:
Boyle: “I don’t want him here.”
Brooks: “What? You know, the feeling’s mutual, man.”
Boyle: “Nobody likes you. Nobody respects you. Just so you know.”
Brooks: “OK.”
Boyle: “At least I’m leaving here with the respect of my teammates.”
Boyle then went on to say, “I have no respect for you. I want you to get the (expletive) out.”
To which Brooks responded, “I don’t care what you think.”
Boyle: “I can tell you to get the (expletive) out if I want to!”
Brooks: “You can, but I don’t have to listen to you.”
“Yeah, ya do!” Boyle responded. “I want him out. And that other (expletive) clown, Brett, or whatever the (expletive) his name is. Everyone else is fine. I want him out. It’s my right.”
According to WFAN.com’s Sean Hartnett, Brooks eventually obliged
