However, even after moving to Anaheim, he had very little chance to make a name for himself, only playing one game this last season: the first NHL shift of his career. Yet, it seems he found a way to hit the headlines this offseason, but probably not in the way he had hoped. In a get-to-know-the-player interview for the Ducks, he answered a question about his Starbucks order, but not without making an inappropriate comment toward women.
Though this is a short, offhanded comment, it did not land as the joke he intended for all audiences. Upset hockey fans took to social media to express their distaste for this remark.
Though this comment was not suitable for an official press release, it seems clear that this was not an ill-intentioned remark. Ultimately, the onus of ensuring all interview material is appropriate lies almost entirely on the PR team for the Anaheim Ducks. Hopefully, all parties take this as a learning lesson in what should be said aloud, and what should left unspoken.
