The comment was not received well by fans, who liked Berube. They let him know that during Thursday night’s win over the Ottawa Senators when Kyrou was booed during his introduction and several times when he touched the puck.
Kyrou said he "definitely heard" the crowd's reaction. He became emotional when discussing the impact it had on him during the game.
Kyrou's Apology
"It’s not easy, obviously, but I see where they're coming from with how my comment sounded. That’s definitely tough. I love playing here, I love playing in front of the fans."
When pressed further about why he was emotional about the situation, Kyrou broke down.
"It’s just tough, right. I love playing here, so it's just tough to hear the fans booing me there."
