I really didn't see this one coming, but TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie destroyed former Montreal Canadiens forward Tyler Toffoli.
Toffoli, who seemed to absolutely love Montreal and love Quebec, has just been targeted by some rather harsh comments from Lavoie.
The forward had always been a fan favorite, and a favorite in the Canadiens' locker room...
Let's recall that he was traded by Kent Hughes on February 14, 2022, to the Calgary Flames, notably in exchange for Emil Heineman and a first-round pick that became Filip Mesar.
Tyler Toffoli was a problem for everyone in Montreal and wanted nothing to do with playing for the Montreal Canadiens, reports Renaud Lavoie
"In fact, according to the insider, Toffoli was an integral part of the problem in town before his departure, just like a guy such as Mike Hoffman.
And he didn't hold back from saying what he thought:
'[Tyler Toffoli] wasn't helping Dominique Ducharme at all when he was coach.
In fact, he was doing him more harm than good.'
- Renaud Lavoie, on BPM Sports
Lavoie explains that Toffoli's biggest issue was mainly his couldn't-care-less attitude.
The insider says he had never seen an NHL player have such an attitude on the ice.
He isn't criticizing the person. He is only criticizing the player's professionalism, saying that he 'was just waiting for the game to end' and that he 'didn't want anything to do with playing for the Canadiens.'"

Wow! The journalist adds, word for word, that Toffoli wanted absolutely nothing to do with playing for the Montreal Canadiens...
I have to admit I'm extremely surprised to learn all this, but clearly, it probably explains better his quick departure following Kent Hughes' arrival as general manager.
Toffoli, now 33 years old, has 2 points in 3 games with the San Jose Sharks this season, after recording 54 points there last year.
