Former Leaf Connor Brown receives luxury gift from Thomas Chabot, who accidentally broke his jaw
Former Toronto Maple Leafs winger and current Ottawa Senator Connor Brown was the unfortunate subject of a broken jaw last month, which he suffered after taking a puck off the face during warm-ups on January 13th in Calgary. The puck was fired by Sens defender Thomas Chabot and deflected off the post before striking Brown in the jaw.
The 28-year-old went on to play the entire game after suffering the injury, registering 19:28 in ice time and recording a pair of points en route to being named the 2nd star of the game. I've said it before and I'll say it again. They don't come much tougher than hockey players.
With Brown finally nearing a return, he had a chance to speak with the media on Sunday, revealing that Chabot was set on making amends for the accidental and unfortunate injury and gifted Brown something quite expensive to make up for firing the puck that pushed him out of the lineup for the remainder of the month.
Per Brown, Chabot bought him a designer Louis Vuitton backpack. For those who may be unfamiliar with the brand, it is considered a luxury brand and those backpacks can exceed $1500 in value.
Chabot appears to be putting his 8-year, $64M deal to good use. That's one heck of a way to make amends. What ever happened to "I'll buy the beers"?
