One of the stories that stirred up conversation around the Montreal Canadiens this weekend is Cole Caufield's famous response to journalist Guillaume Lefrançois.
According to a few people, his response was a little arrogant.
«At the risk of getting tomatoes thrown at me, the question was good and relevant.
The answer, much less so.»
- Max Truman
In short, this is not the first time Caufield has given a «snappy» or «arrogant» response to a journalist during a press conference.
Present on BPM Sports this morning for his usual segment, the excellent RDS journalist Luc Gélinas confirmed that Caufield has been very defensive for a while when speaking with them.
The Montreal Canadiens were supposed to meet with Cole Caufield to tell him to soften up and take it easy when speaking with journalists
A New Meeting for Cole Caufield with the Canadiens?
See an excerpt of Luc Gélinas's comments, via BPM Sports.
«[] That's Cole Caufield. He is always on the defensive, he doesn't like it He's not comfortable with it, and it's immediately a snappy response. [] There's really no story with this.»
«I know that last year, Chantal Machabée was supposed to meet with him to tell him to soften up a bit, and to take it easy when he talks to us. We're not there to criticize them, we're there to gather information.»
- Luc Gélinas, RDS
That being said, Caufield is still an extremely kind and generous young man with his time. He just needs to learn how to better handle interactions with journalists in the locker room.
