We witnessed a rather entertaining moment towards the end of the Montreal Canadiens' end-of-season press conference with Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
Hughes didn't hesitate to clap back at a reporter who directly questioned him (yet again) about the organization's lack of transparency regarding injured players.
After having a bit of trouble understanding the issue at hand, Hughes responded with this (see the reporter's lengthy initial question at the bottom of the article):
"(So according to you) The fans pay a lot to come and watch our games, so does that mean that when they buy their ticket, they should know what the injury is that's keeping Sean Monahan from playing?"
Kent Hughes He added that if he has a message or information to communicate to other NHL teams, he has a phone for that.
Check out the exchange in question. Let's just say Hughes' message is loud and clear:
