Given that iirc at least some of the Montreal media were attempting to claim Galchenyuk's (hopefully) ex-girlfriend hitting him was because she caught him cheating with Devante Smith-Pelly, yeah, Montreal media genuinely outing someone seems an entirely likely scenario.
(Now wants a fill for "PK's involuntarily outed and has to deal with the fallout of being both black and the first out NHL player in a city with media that eats their own" even worse than I already did. Bonus points for Carey being an awesome BFF and Beaulieu and Gallagher being dicks about it.)
