Caufield responds to Utica Comets Twitter account mocking him
A strange situation happened earlier this week, when the Utica Comets' official Twitter account took a shot at Montreal Canadiens prospect, who was just recently assigned to the American Hockey League (AHL), saying «Yo Cole Caufield are you here? Everyone keeps saying you're here but we haven't noticed. Did you not play the first period?»
It is very unprofessional for a team to put something like this out, and the league themselves let it be known they were not happy about it. The tweet has since been deleted, but still has plenty talking about it, including Caufield himself who was asked about it in Wednesday.
«To be honest, I don't really know, I kind of just kind of wiped it under the table, I didn't really get affected by it or anything, I thought it was pretty selfish of them and classless. It's behind us, it's not something I can control. It's not really that big of a deal. I just don't think they should do that to anybody. It's not really professional. And for me, personally, I kind of just read it and kind of let it go. It's not something I really care for.
«In the future, I just hope they stay away from those kind of things. Just cheer on your team, and tweet about your team, not anybody else. And it's not even that big of a deal. I just want them to learn from that. They're people too, so. It's all I've got to say.»
Good on Caufield for taking the high road here. As he said, it isn't the biggest deal in the world, but it is extremely unprofessional. This is likely the last of that type of behaviour we will see from any AHL or NHL team's social media accounts moving forward.
