Georges Laraque persists: Kent Hughes lied according to him
On Monday on BPM Sports, Georges Laraque released a "scoop" on the fact that Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis were seen with Gerard Gallant.
The rumors about the coach have been increasing since last week, and this news simply confirmed the club's interest in him.
It must be admitted that Gallant had success in Montreal in a similar role and he is free as a bird at the moment. He would undoubtedly come to solidify the young Canadiens team behind the bench.
However, Kent Hughes wanted to rectify the situation a little later, by mentioning that he has never spoken to Gerard Gallant in his life and he saw him for the last time at the trophy presentation in Las Vegas.
That cooled down the excitement and the rumors have since stopped. Let's just say that people are talking more about Georges Laraque, who released an unfounded scoop.
The former Canadiens forward certainly wasn't going to stop there. According to him, it wouldn't be the first time someone lied to protect information.
He added that it was a friend of his, an excellent source who saw Martin St-Louis, Kent Hughes and Gerard Gallant eating together in Toronto.

The fans aren't holding back with him, and he's defending himself. According to him, his source is solid and it's Kent Hughes who is lying to protect information.
I personally have a hard time getting a clear idea of the thing. Why would Kent Hughes lie to that extent? In short, I imagine that if Gerard Gallant is never hired by the Canadiens, this story will die out pretty quickly.
