The Montreal Canadiens podcast, "The Sick Podcast," hosted by Grant McCagg and Shayne Gaumond, is facing intense criticism after their insensitive remarks about the tragic deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau. During a recent episode, the hosts attempted to link the loss of these lives to a team's draft choices, sparking outrage across the hockey community.
Public reaction was swift and overwhelmingly negative, with many condemning the hosts for their lack of sensitivity. The episode has since been removed from all platforms following the backlash, yet McCagg and Gaumond have not issued any apologies or clarified their comments. The situation remains under close watch as fans and critics alike await further developments.
As the controversy continues to unfold, there are growing calls for the show to be canceled altogether. Whether or not McCagg and Gaumond will address the uproar remains to be seen, but the damage to their reputation may be irreversible.
