Prominent hockey writer caught chasing child away from media scrum.

An online dispute between a pair of hockey writers has caused a rather damning video to resurface and it is rapidly making the rounds on social media on Monday morning.

The argument was between two prominent journalists in the Buffalo area with Tim Graham of The Athletic seemingly firing shots at Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News. Graham appears to take issue with the fact that Harrington's character is chasing away readers from a struggling newspaper, and Graham even went so far as to offer a particularly damning example of Harrington's behavior.

In a tweet published on Sunday, Graham recalled an incident in which Harrington had allegedly chased away a Buffalo Sabres' junior reporter from a media scrum.

Well as it turns out those weren't merely allegations given that Mike Straw of Mike Straw media has tracked down video of the incident and shared it online.

In the video we can see former Buffalo Sabres public relations employee Chris Bandura directing the young lady towards the media scrum, only to have Harrington then shoo her away almost immediately. Perhaps the most damning part of the video though is that Harrington appears to be aware of what is happening given that he looks over his shoulder at Bandura and the young lady just prior to turning around and chasing her away.

Here's the video in question:

Apparently some have been critical of Chris Bandura's actions in response to this video being posted online, but Graham was quick to come to the defense of the former Sabres employee. Graham shared examples of Bandura's kindness towards children, and argued that this issue was again a result of Harrington's lack of character.

This is all a terrible look for Harrington who has yet to respond to his name being dragged through the mud.
