This is one of the stories making waves around the Montreal Canadiens today, the altercation between Juraj Slafkovsky and Patrik Laine.

Let’s remember that this sequence was captured during yesterday’s practice by the TVA Sports cameras and has been widely discussed since.

All the details and images can be found in the following article:

 

In the past hours on BPM Sports, former Canadiens player and excellent host Gilbert Delorme had a lot to say about this sequence.

Gilbert Delorme seems fed up with Patrik Laine

See what he had to say on the topic this morning.

“Jeez! If I’m the head coach, I tell him to get his fu**n ass back on the ice right now!

Hey, seriously, he goes to sit on the bench like a baby!

We’re in the crunch [of the season], you need to have the knife between your teeth.

Not only that, things are going well, Evans signed, everyone is in a good mood, we’re on a great streak, we’ve won five in a row-and you act like that?

It’s a downer for the rest of the team!

To me, it’s a distraction, it bothers me! Sacr*****!”

Do you agree with him?

Personally, I don’t think this was the altercation of the century, but in the middle of an NHL playoff race, we don’t need this, especially since Juraj Slafkovsky tried to apologize, and Laine ignored him.

“He tried to apologize to Laine once he was back on the ice.

But if he had been talking to a wall, he wouldn’t have noticed the difference.”
