The game against Buffalo, he was blamed.

Pretty obvious that he blames White, without being explicit.
He says White put the team in hot water, or trouble, not that he's the reason for the loss.
At the end of the day, we gave up one goal in back to back penalty kills.
We were still up 4-3 at this point, Buffalo scored with 2 seconds left and it had nothing to do with White, nor was it on him that we lost in Shootouts.
The problem with what White did is that he did it for nothing.
If Ott had just run Price or cheap shotted Gallagher or Galchenyuk, I'm sure MT would have backed him...but he went after Ott because Ott got under his skin. Laraque did nothing when AK was elbowed in the head by Sauer. He did nothing against Lucic when there were many blowout games where he could have taken an extra 2 or 4 and not hurt the team.
Well White did that versus Florida when Fleischman hit Gorges from behind against the board.
That was considered his first strike as Therrien said he'll have to talk to him about it.
We were up 4-1 at the time.
Ott was being his pesty self all game, going after our guys. He tries to throw a low hip check to White, he suckers him into getting roughing penalties. Refs were a little severe giving White two roughing calls, especially knowing it's Steve Ott.
We were up by 2 goals, allowed one, and held the lead until there was 2 seconds left in the game. That was in no way White's fault. We lost in SO after, with White on the bench since the mid way through the third.
So, I'm not so sure Therrien would have acted all that differently if White did this after a player gets run over. Actually, as I pointed out with Fleischman, he was warned for it despite his action being warranted, and us winning.
