During tonight's game between the Nashville Predators and the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Predators' play-by-play announcer, Willy Daunic, didn't hold back when he commented on Michael Bunting's antics on the ice.

Bunting, a forward for the Penguins, found himself in the spotlight after a fall during a play near the Predators' Jason Zucker.

The incident happened as Bunting was eagerly pursuing the puck in the Predators' zone. He tangled briefly with Zucker's stick and took a tumble. Bunting, who has gained a bit of a reputation for embellishing plays to draw penalties, was the subject of Daunic's pointed commentary.

"Bunting is on the ice again, what a surprise"

According to Daunic, this was yet another example of Bunting trying to sway the referees and snag a power play for his team.

Bunting, known for his theatrical play, often frustrates opposing teams' fans who see him as too willing to bend the rules to gain an edge. This time, his antics didn't go unnoticed, and Daunic made sure to highlight it during the broadcast.

"Bunting is a diver. You know it. I know it. They know it. He deserves the attention he brought upon himself."
