After Thursday’s morning skate in Brossard, the Canadiens’ Andrew Shaw was asked about a report that he had been the target of a verbal tirade in the locker room from former coach Michel Therrien that another player — believed to be goalie Carey Price — had to step in to stop.

The story, which was reported to have been corroborated by Martin Leclerc of Radio-Canada, said that the outburst came after a game in Philadelphia this month, during which Shaw took a needless interference penalty during the second period that resulted in a power-play goal. Shaw was benched for the rest of the game, which the Canadiens lost 3-1.

“It wasn’t a feud,” Shaw said Thursday morning. “I got a penalty, they scored, I got sat. It’s happened before in my career. It’s not a feud, it’s him being coach.”

When Shaw was given more details from the report, he shook his head and said: “They’re saying what?”

Then Shaw chuckled, before adding: “Where do you guys get this stuff? No, it didn’t happen.”
