This story originally appeared on VICE Sports Canada.Talk about getting into the holiday spirit.A Vancouver Canucks fan set up a GoFundMe page to pay the $5,000 fine Brandon Prust received for spearing Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand over the weekend.Here's what the page says:
Prust, earning $2.5 million this season, probably doesn't need the help, and also doesn't seem to be concerned about the fine. He ripped Marchand for embellishing the hit and also called it the best money he's ever spent.At the time of this writing, the page had received $85, so there's still plenty of work to be done.This ones for Brandon Prust of the Vancouver Canucks. We the fans of the Vancouver Canucks, agree to pay for the fine against Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins. Will surrender account to Brandon or Maripier Morin. As well as any NHL or Canucks department that deals with this so we can properly pay his fine. Anything donated will go to Brandons charity and Canucks For Kids fund. Lets spread some holiday cheer to the families of Montreal and Vancouver!
