Halak’s Agent Tweets Questionable Comment

With Carey Price struggling, Jaroslav Halak has been used as the starting goaltender more than some expected. I’ve been pretty happy for the backup goaltender since I think he’s got some talent but needs more ice time to develop. Price has actually been pretty cool about it (I even have wondered if he was being too cool) so I think the fact that Halak’s agent Allan Walsh took a swipe at him on Twitter makes him a douche.

All of this went down after the Montreal Canadiens lost 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night. Walsh decided to do what too many people have – say too freaking much on Twitter. Why can’t people control themselves? He wrote: “Interesting stat of the night….Price is 10W, 32L in last 42 starts. Hmm.”
That’s such a crappy thing to say. He’s a young goalie and I know that Walsh’s job is to pimp out Halak but let their talent dictate who starts and who doesn’t.
He later Tweeted: “It was a tongue in cheek comment not meant to be taken seriously, forgot it was Montreal and everyone loses a sense of humor.”
So far this season, Halak has a 5-2 record this season while Price has a 3-7 record. There’s no need to kick a guy while he’s down.
