As we reported to you yesterday, forward Alex Galchenyuk has officially announced that he is entering the assistance program for NHL and NHLPA players.

It's truly great news to hear that he will receive help and support.

A questionable way to report the story

About this story, TVA Sports, a major french sports media, has been criticized for drawing a dubious parallel with Carey Price.

"The Anti-Price agenda in this city is ridiculous. You don't have to adore the guy (referring to Carey), but seriously, show some respect for a man who is ten times the man Galchenyuk is."

Habs Fan TV

This post has sparked numerous reactions.

The guys from Habs Fan TV, whom we adore, wanted to convey this message after TVA Sports published an article with the following headline.

"Galchenyuk follows the same program as Carey Price."

Was it really necessary to make a connection with Carey Price while discussing the Galchenyuk case, a young man who really messed up, got arrested, and committed horrible acts towards police officers?

Why mention the "same program as Carey Price"?

Well, it's up to you to judge, but it's a major topic of discussion on social media right now. Here are a few other comments:

"What an offensive, inappropriate, horrible, embarrassing, and simply dreadful headline."

"What a poor and dishonest comparison.

"What a shoddy job by your writer."

"Why mention Carey Price 🤦‍♂️"
