Jim Matheson's lie ended in Brantt Myhres having his orbital bone broken

This story was shared by a Twitter user in regards to Jim Matheson's character and unfortunately Brantt Myhers got the short end of the stick here.

To say Brantt Myhres has seen some shit would be an understatement. Myhres battled drug and alcohol addiction his entire career before finally getting clean after his playing career ended.

Brantt Myhres had a tryout with Calgary in 2005 and was to play in a Oilers-Flames preseason game, which was his first NHL game since getting out of drug rehab. His dad was in attendance. Matheson thought it would be funny to tell Laraque at the morning skate that Myhres was talking shit in an interview. This really pissed Laraque off, and he beat up Myhres bad during the game and broke his orbital bone.

Laraque called Myhres afterwards to check up on him and asked why he was trash talking him in the media. Myhres told Georges he never said anything that Matheson was claiming. Laraque later confronted Matheson, and Matheson laughed about it. Matheson made the whole thing up for his own enjoyment and got Myhres badly hurt. Myhers has never played another game in the NHL.



Here is the fight mentioned above.
