On Monday morning following the Islanders' game day skate, Horvat was asked about his comments and he expanded on them, saying he didn't mean to disrespect Vancouver or their fans.
Horvat and the Islanders are currently holding onto the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference and it's understandable, to a point, to see his emotions get the most of him after a big home win in a playoff push.
The Islanders have two games remaining in the regular season as they take on Washington tonight and Montreal on Wednesday night.
