Jonathan Huberdeau's agent brands Calgary Flames management insane and fans don't like it

Detroit Red Wings v Calgary Flames
Jonathan Huberdeau is not having a good season so far.

Allan Walsh, Jonathan Huberdeau's agent, surrounded himself with new controversy on Thursday. After Calgary's 5-2 defeat to the Detroit Wings, Walsh was dissatisfied with the Flames' performance and took to Twitter to criticize the management of the team.

Here's the cryptic message from Allan Walsh that fuelled the controversy:

"The definition of instanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Also, negativity sucks the joy right out of players. cc: @NHLFlames" - Allan Walsh

Allan Walsh is one of the NHL's most well-known personalities. Not only does he represent Jonathan Huberdeau but several other NHL players as well. However, his recent tweet didn't fit very well within the community.

Here's how the NHL community reacted to Allan Walsh's recent controversial tweet.

"@walsha @NHL Flames I'd understand this tweet if your superstar client wasn't producing like a 3rd liner for them."- Ryan
"walsha @NHLFlames I would put the majority of the blame on your client. Yes, Sutter probably rubbed Huberdeau the wrong way, but he's a professional. Emotions get high. And when ur losing, the coach is going to point the finger at his top players, especially the ones that suck. Bad move by agent"- tweeted liveyoung187
"@H_0CKEY Jonathan Huberdeau, the highest-paid Flame, has no goals and one assist in his last six games and his ice time is declining. Where are the Cats fans who told me how much they would miss him? When I hear of all the positive qualities the team lacked in the past, I think of Huby." - @CyYoungSandy

Allan Walsh helped Jonathan Huberdeau land an eight-year, $84 million contract extension with the Flames in August last year. It was also the most expensive contract given to any player in the history of the Flames.
