During the 4 Nations tournament, the selection of Samuel Montembeault sparked reactions from some hockey fans.
It's normal for people to have differing opinions, but a Toronto journalist made a very underhanded remark about Samuel Montembeault.
Last year, Montembeault proved that he can be the number-one goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens.
He helped the team qualify for the playoffs and played a very important role.
Even though he didn't get a chance to play in the 4 Nations tournament, he could definitely have an important role in the upcoming Olympic Games.
However, journalist Steve Simmons made a questionable comment about the Canadiens' goalie.
A Toronto Media Outlet Makes a Controversial Remark About Samuel Montembeault
Making headlines for the wrong reasons, journalist Steve Simmons recently wrote an article about the Toronto Blue Jays.
In his article, there's a "miscellaneous" section.
He covers other topics, and this time it was about Team Canada ahead of the Olympics.
While speaking about Samuel Montembeault, he stated:
"Montembeault is a French-Canadian, which helps his chances to become the third goalie."

This comment clearly targets Montembeault's selection, suggesting a lack of merit and implying his selection was made simply to please Quebecers.
Jimmy Murphy responded with a very interesting article.
"With all due respect, Steve, that's disrespecting Montembeault."

That's an excellent rebuttal from Murphy, and his stance is commendable.
In the end, this situation will likely continue to spark discussion in the coming weeks.
