Things getting real between agent Allan Walsh and reporter Patrick Friolet, after Friolet shared a dispute between Jonathan Drouin & head coach Dominique Ducharme during practice today in Boston.
Friolet describes a Drouin screaming at Ducharme, while Walsh called out Friolet saying "Obviously you don't know nothing about Hockey. This is a normal conversation between a player and his coach at every practice. This is just a pathetic attempt to stirr the pot, you're a disgrace." From Walsh to Friolet.
Friolet replied "That wasn't the intention at all I just explained what happened, I explained the context and mentioned the passion Drouin shows for the game. Then coach Ducharme explained it and I will do the same."
Another reporter Justin Beaulie was quick to defend Friolet telling Walsh "to claim down he just said facts you don't speak French."
No matter who's right or wrong there's probably part truth to it with the Canadiens struggling this season, but things can also get taken out of context so will just have to keep an eye on the situation between Drouin and Ducharme for any further escalations.
