A very important decision has been made by Martin St-Louis, and it involves Patrik Laine
The Montreal Canadiens players are ready to surprise this year, and Martin St-Louis is taking advantage of the team's motivation with the arrival of Patrik Laine to make an important decision.
Indeed, we may have just witnessed what could be the Canadiens' first power-play unit for the upcoming season. As you know, Alex Burrows hasn't been replaced, so Martin St-Louis will be responsible for the power play.
Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, Patrik Laine, and Michael Matheson spent nearly an hour on the ice practicing the power play today with Adam Nicholas.
It's incredible to see that, as early as September 11, the key players are already preparing, while in many other organizations, several players won't even arrive until next week.
This speaks volumes about the team's motivation. If you're wondering about Adam Nicholas's involvement with the players, rest assured that he is excellent at preseason preparation.
No need to worry, as Martin St-Louis and Kent Hughes are surely behind all of this. It makes perfect sense for these five players to be on the first power-play unit, and it's very reassuring to see them already working together.
