Morning Skate: Andrew Shaw brings Canadiens’ ‘personality’ values back into question

Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
PERSONALITY, HUH
Remember when the Canadiens traded P.K. Subban this summer? OK, sorry. Dumb question.
Better question: Remember when they claimed personality was a big factor in that decision?
It was hard for that not to come to mind when Andrew Shaw had a complete meltdown in the penalty box on Tuesday. Keep in mind, he didn’t make it through the preseason without a suspension and made headlines last spring for using a gay slur.
Personality? Huh. It’s almost like sports management people are inconsistent with what they say they believe in and what they actually do.
