There is no secret that Carey Price has been under fire with Montreal fans with his inconsistent play that goes all the way back to when the Bruins swept the Habs out of the playoffs. The toughest part about being a goalie is if you win 8-6 your a hero and if you lose 1-0 you suck. Fans show no mercy for a goaltender when their team loses especially in the playoffs. Just ask former Bruin Blaine Lacher who basically got booed right out of Beantown 12 games after being voted their 7th player back in 1995.

With all that pressure that a goalie gets from the fans, coaches, GM’s and owners… up until Saturday night have I ever heard a report of an agent bashing a player in public. Well Allan Walsh, agent of Canadiens back up goaltender Jaroslav Halak decided to do just that after the Habs 3-1 loss Saturday night to Tampa Bay. Walsh on his Twitter page no less writes “Interesting stat of the night….Price is 10W, 32L in last 42 starts. Hmm.”

You have to feel bad for Halak since he was unaware of the comment by his loud mouth or should I say cowardly typing agent. Montreal fans and media are all over Halak and have no right to be. Even former net minder Kelly Hrudey sounded off on hockey night in Canada showing his frustration about the situation. The sad part will be how the fans and media will play this up as a dual between the two Montreal goaltenders and neither one of them had anything to do with this.

Walsh tried to cover his ass by saying it was a “tongue in cheek comment that shouldn’t be taken seriously. To me that’s a bunch of BS from a BS artist agent. How unprofessional can you get and on Twitter? Jaroslav Halak needs to dump Allan Walsh and look for a new agent.
